Buy vs Lease in Toledo, OH

Buy vs Lease in Toledo, OH

Once you set your sights on the perfect Lexus driving option, you must determine whether you would like to buy or lease your set of wheels. Both of these options have their own respective benefits, and your choice boils down to what will adhere to your budgetary constraints and driving needs best. That is why we at Jim White Lexus of Toledo are here to lay out the details of each path, so there isn’t any gray area. When you are ready to take the leap, make your way to our location!

Leasing

Let’s start with the acquisition option that provides the utmost in terms of flexibility. When you lease, you will be borrowing your prospective ride from us for a period time that averages three years. You will have a mileage allowance in that window, so if you drive varying distances throughout the year, this avenue might not be for you. The benefit of opting for leasing is that you will have a low down payment, if any, and a minimal monthly rate. That is because we only ask that you cover the model’s depreciation while it is in your possession. This is the perfect trial period, because if you decide you want to keep the Lexus for good, you can purchase it for its remaining value at the end of your contract. Or, if you want to start a new agreement, you can upgrade to a completely different model!

Buying

On the opposite side of the fence, you have the opportunity to purchase the vehicle you are keen on for its full cost. This is a fantastic choice if you want to see a return on your investment, because you will become the sole owner of the Lexus after you make your last payment. When you visit our Finance Department, we will split up the sticker price over a period of time that ranges between four and seven years. You will be able to decide on your term length, so you can slowly chip away at the full cost in a manner that doesn’t break the bank. Then, you can apply your down payment, take the keys, and drive away. If you want to find out your purchasing power and possible monthly rate before you walk through our doors, use our online Payment Calculator. After, you can complete the Get Pre-Approved form to receive your go-ahead in the loan process.

Inventory

Before you pick one of the aforementioned routes, you must decide which vehicle fits your daily driving needs. We understand that this can seem like a time-consuming process, which is why we include our entire inventory right here on our website! To begin, select your preferred model from the New Vehicles dropdown or click the Browse New Vehicles link to reveal everything that we currently have in stock. After that, you can use the filters on the left side of your screen to input your stipulations for the year, fuel economy, price point, and more! Once that is accomplished, we will promptly redirect you to a screen with a refined listing of rides that fulfill your needs. Then, when you are ready, you can swing by for a test drive!

I live out of state and bought an L/Certified vehicle from Jim White Lexus. Jim Schenk was my salesperson and he is an outstanding consultant: He was responsive, addressed all of my questions and concerns, and took care of everything. I'm extremely satisfied with the service he provided. If you are looking at a vehicle at this dealership, then make your way to Jim Schenk and he'll take great care of you

I need a 6th star to give Jason Kehoe and Lexus of Toledo, 5 stars is simply not enough. We buy 3-4 new cars a year and have for the past decade or more in our business and personal lives so I network with dealerships and sales teams often, and in that I'm leaving Lexus of Toledo feeling dumbfounded that I have never seen or experienced the level of service and integrity. Jason and his team at Lexus of Toledo should be the benchmark for all dealerships from the initial contact all the way through to the end of sale. Integrity cannot be bought, but people often sell theirs very cheaply, DO NOT overlook the opportunity to visit Lexus of Toledo and see what you should have been seeing with every new car purchase...... 100% A+++ HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM !

I had been looking for an RX 350 for a few months. I found one at a Lexus dealer in Arlington Illinois. I did a FaceTime with the sales person. I asked to see all the flaws on the car. Hardly any bad spots were pointed out. We negotiated over the phone and agreed on a price pending inspection. I made a 7 hour round trip drive to see and hopefully buy the car. When we arrived we had to wait a half hour for the cleaning of the car to be finished even though they knew what time we were coming. Finally it was ready. As I began to look at the car I was starting to see quite a few bad spots on the exterior. It didn’t take more than 20 seconds to realize this was not the one. It had allot of bad spots but the worst was 2 quarter inch dings that looked like the touch up was not done by a non-professional. As bad, It also had an 8” crease at the bottom of the passenger front and rear door. We left disappointed, somewhat disgusted, and worst of all feeling we were not treated with respect and honesty. A few days later I found a promising one online at Lexus of Toledo. I talked on the phone with sales person Jim Schenk. He sent allot of pictures and videos. It looked very nice. I asked him to be upfront on the condition of the car. He assured me it was one of the nicest 5 old year old cars he had seen in his 33 year career. We agreed on a price over the phone. The next day we drove to the dealership. When we walked in the front door Jim was there to greet us. He told us to look to our left. There was the car right on the showroom floor. A very nice touch. After looking at it for about 20 seconds I knew this was the one. Beautiful condition inside and out just as Jim described it on our phone call. I pointed out a couple spots to Jim. Within 5 minutes the detail technician was there and was able to get the spots out. After a successful test drive we sat down to sign a few papers. We then went to the Finance Manager’s office to review the financing. He offered some add ons that were available. There was no pressure to purchase them. We finalized a few details in Jim’s office and drove off happy and satisfied that I had purchased a great car. Literally a tale of 2 cities. If you want to have a great buying experience with a friendly ,down to earth, honest, sales person head down to Lexus of Toledo and work with Jim Schenk. You’ll be happy you did.

I'm going to get right to the point, Jessica Christian was just amazing and a pleasure to work with. The 2017 Honda Accord Sport was perfect and everything I was looking for. She is the complete opposite of what some "typical" car salespeople are/can be. She is friendly, polite, trustworthy, honest and I just felt extremely comfortable working with her. I love the car, it was pretty quick paper work and just a wonderful, overall experience, thanks Jessica! 5-Stars.

I recently purchased a Certified Pre-Owned Lexus GX460 from this dealership, and I can confidently say — the service and the overall process have been nothing short of exceptional. After noticing a small issue with the alignment, Denise personally went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled professionally and perfectly. She drove all the way from Toledo to Ann Arbor, picked up my vehicle, provided a loaner car, and then returned my vehicle after the alignment was done — the vehicle was clean with full tank of gas. It’s rare to find this level of care, responsibility, and true customer service these days. Denise didn’t just meet expectations — she redefined them. Her professionalism, kindness, and genuine dedication made me feel completely confident and valued as a customer. Huge thanks to Denise and the entire Lexus of Toledo team — you’ve earned my full trust and respect. I’ll recommend your dealership to everyone I know.

Clean, well stocked, competitive pricing, friendly staff. Purchased a CPO vehicle from out of state and had a smooth time doing so. The vehicle's listing was accurately described and had all documentation available electronically to help make a better decision (original window stick, Carfax, service history). Jason, our sales specialist, was very inviting, knowledgeable, friendly, and gave us the space needed when looking to make a major household purchase. I'd absolutely recommend checking out this dealership even if it's not close by.

This dealership is amazing. Denise helped me from start to finish while trying to purchase our new GX. I spoke with sales people all over the country and she was by far the most knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. I would love to deal with her again and you should to! Her services were top notch! Cheers to you Denise, wishing you the best!

We were in the market for a used vehicle. After spending 2 full days searching, we came across this dealerahip. For starters, don't expect to be hounded like other dealerships! We were able to browse for a bit before we searched someone out. We got Jim and he was super helpful. Let us do the test drive, general inspection, and he even spoke with us about our current vehicle and options for selling it. Well, an hour later and we drove off in our new (to us) car! Love it! And he even reimbursed us for the first gas fill up (would have done it same day but we finalized the deal after service closed.) Would ABSOLUTELY do business with them again! Looking forward to come back when we're in the market for my wife's new vehicle.

I shopped online for pre-owned vehicles and dealt with Jason Kehoe. The whole experience was top notch. After finding a low mileage vehicle, Jason dealt with me with transparency that gave me confidence that I was getting a very fair deal. I would return to Lexus of Toledo for future purchases and would be happy to deal with Jason.

EXCELLENT sales person Scott! He went out of his way to find the vehicle we wanted. He called us and continued to reassure us that he was still looking. When the vehicle came in he immediately contacted us and held the vehicle until we had an opportunity to look at it. He went above and beyond in every aspect! The gentleman that went over our vehicle to help familiarize us with it was exceptional too. Every person that we dealt with in any aspect of our purchase was exceptional. I highly recommend them and would happily return again if I’m in the need of another vehicle.
