Vehicle Acquisition
Purchase
Versus Lease
The decision whether to purchase or lease can involve
several factors, but the key things that affect the decision are
expected utilization, and expected retention cycle. If a vehicle has
moderate to high utilization, then a GSA lease with a relatively short
term (3 to 6 years) may be the best approach. If, however, utilization
is fairly low and retention cycles are expected to be longer than GSA
leasing cycles, it may be better to purchase the vehicle because the
acquisition cost is spread over a long period of time. The NASA Agency
Transportation Manager can provide guidance to help perform a detailed
purchase versus lease analysis.
