Buy vs Lease near Rapid City, SD

Buy vs Lease near Rapid City, SD

Are you shopping for a new vehicle from our Juneks Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealership? If you’re anxious about making a long-term investment, why not go with a lease? Perhaps you’re looking for a car that you can keep for as long as possible. Either way, our store allows you to explore buying and leasing options. Continue exploring this guide to find out more!

Buying

If owning a car is your objective, consider purchasing a new or used vehicle from our store. You can do this in many different ways. You'll have an opportunity to simply pay for a model with a lump sum of cash or pursue ownership through a method called financing. The latter provides a cost-effective route that allows you to split the total cost of a vehicle into several payments. The duration of your installments depends on the contract you acquire. Typically, a finance program will last between four and seven years. Once you're done, you'll be able to travel the Rapid City area as the owner of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram.

Leasing

Drivers who want to traverse Highway 16 in a new vehicle every few years should think about securing a lease. When you're leasing a model, you'll temporarily have ownership of the vehicle. How long you have the leased car depends on the arrangement. These agreements have durations between two and four years. Additionally, they're known to generate less expensive monthly payments. That's because installments are based on the depreciated value of the model, the down payment, and the interest rate. If you really enjoy driving the rented car, you can switch to a finance program after the contract expires. Or, you can meet with one of our team members to rent a different vehicle.

Which Is Better for You?

Buying and leasing are similar in how you pay for them each month. However, the end result of the agreements differs. Purchasing a vehicle means owning it for a lifetime if you desire to do so. Plus, you can use the car as an asset to get another new or used model. A lease is a short-term arrangement with several other options upon its expiration. Shoppers can simply return the vehicle to the dealership, get another rental, or start financing the currently rented car through a lease buyout auto loan. Ultimately, we recommend drivers seek to own a vehicle if they want something long-term. But if you like traveling to destinations like Mount Rushmore National Memorial in a new car every few years, go with a lease. For more details, visit us during business hours.

Seriously the best customer service I’ve ever experienced! I live over an hour away and had an oil leak in my Jeep that I found before leaving before my last baby checkup appt before my induction next week. I’ll be bringing home my baby in the Jeep, so a potential issue was the last thing I needed. They got me in with no appt and shuttled me to my doctors appt so I didn’t miss it. They found the cause to be a leak in the oil filter and had it fixed and did an oil change I was about due for within the hour. Every person I interacted with there was over the top kind and helpful. They’re definitely going to be my go to for any of my Jeep needs moving forward!

Had the misfortune of breaking down on a road trip. The folks at Juneks were amazing. They went above and beyond with their customer service. Making sure that I had a place to stay, driving me all the way to Rapid City so I could get home, and then picking me up from the airport to get me back to my truck once they had it fixed. Huge huge shout out to Richard and Kathy. I highly recommend them.

My name is Gregory Moore, I was in Sturgis for the bike rally August 2024. My new 2025 Ram 1500 broke down leaving me stranded with a trailer and 2 motorcycles 1,600 miles from home. I took my truck to Juneks to have it checked out. After they examined the vehicle it was determined it was not safe enough to drive and it would have to stay for repairs. I left it for a couple of days. When I returned the situation was worse than I thought. My new truck had some serious issues and would be down far past the end of my stay at Sturgis. After working for hours with the owner Ryan, he helped me found a solution to get me, my trailer and motorcycles back to Georgia. It started out with Ryan calling one of his employees in on her off day. Kathy Miles reported in on her off day to drive me 70 miles away to pickup a Uhaul that Juneks was providing for me. After it was all said and done due to issues with 2 Uhaul trucks. Kathy had to drive me 269 miles one way to pickup a Uhaul truck. Over 500 miles round trip. I would like to thank Ryan and Kathy for their support and hard work. They really helped make the best of a stressful situation.

I made a mistake with a fuel additive and needed to get my tank drained as well as the fuel system purged. Though it took a little more time and money than estimated to complete the project the service manager, Richard, was extremely courteous and knowledgeable dealing with a difficult situation. All those in the shop were very jovial and professional, which lets you know it’s a healthy workplace. I also received a military discount, which says a lot about the company. I will definitely be using them for future work on my Dodge truck.

I bought a vehicle from out of town, Kevin in sales was super helpful and awesome in setting me up with the service department. Chris in service quickly diagnosed the issue I was having and had it up on the lift within 10 minutes of me arriving. Fixed the truck and I was in my way. Talked me through everything that was going on and had me look under the vehicle with him so he could show me the problem. 10/10 will be going here for parts and service in the future and for sure buying my next vehicle here.

Super fast and friendly!

Not having the greatest credit due to circumstances beyond our control the financing department worked overtime to find a suitable banking institution that would take a chance on us and help us buy the vehicle we both liked and needed, and also help us rebuild our credit.
