Denver Car Dealers

With 600,000 residents and well over a million in surroundings areas, Denver is a great place to find competitive car prices. SUV’s and trucks are very popular in this area, and buyers in the Denver area benefit from this competition.

Denver car dealers tend to carry a high volume of sport utility vehicles and trucks, with a smaller percentage of cars than most large cities. Snow, mountains, and the active lifestyles of Denver residents generates more interest in vehicles that can do it all.

Fewer luxury cars like Mercedes Benz, BMW and Lexus will be found here in comparison to other major cities in the US. So, while there are fewer luxury car dealers in Denver than some other large cities, this also means that dealers have to stay aggressive in order to sell cars. This is good news for customers.

I Live in Denver, Should I Buy or Lease My New Car?

While this is an easy topic to discuss for most big cities in America, Denver car buyers have a few more things to think about before they decide to buy or lease.

In general terms, most customers who find themselves trading their cars in before they’re done making payments should be leasing. Leasing allows customers to get more car for less money. Plus, if you lease your new vehicle for terms equal or less than the length of the warranty, you’ll never have to pay to fix mechanical breakdowns.

Another big benefit of leasing is that customers only pay taxes on the percentage of the car they’re paying for during the lease. When you purchase a car, you pay tax on the entire sales price of the vehicle. However, when you lease, you only pay taxes monthly. This generally translates into roughly 1/2 the taxes out of your pocket.

With all of this said, Denver residents have some other things to consider as well.

• Do you drive on rough terrain?
• Do you have a long commutes?
• Will this vehicle be driven in snow frequently?

The reason Denver area residents should think about these before they decide whether to buy or lease is because of the ‘standard wear and tear’ clauses you will find on leases.

Most new car leases are fairly lenient on their wear and tear allowances, but things like cracked windshields, large dents, and going beyond the allowable mileage will cost you extra money when you return your leased vehicle. Contact your local dealer for more information.

Most leases allow several door dings, some typical scratches here and there, and tires that aren’t totally bald. However, every leasing company has different standards of which they consider ‘standard wear and tear’.

While we’re big supporters of leasing, you should always ask your dealer about the types of things you can be charged for when the lease is over.
