Finnegan Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram
If you want to drive newer, safer, more reliable vehicles, prefer not commit to a sizeable down payment every few years, and also don’t drive an exorbitant amount every year, then a new car lease could be right for you. Leasing is designed for those who prefer to bypass the hassle of buying and selling each time they want to drive a new car or truck.
On the other hand, if you prefer long term relationships with a higher sense of commitment and ownership, then buying might be what’s better for you. Car-buying is typically best for shoppers who do not mind driving the same vehicle for over five years or even until it is no longer suited for the freeway.
Knowing the pros, cons, and overall benefits of leasing vs buying a car or truck is imperative. Be sure to examine factors like vehicle ownership, monthly payments, repair costs, and potential savings when considering the best new vehicle financing type for you.
When weighing the value of vehicle financing, new car or truck ownership absolutely comes along with many well-known advantages, most associated with outright ownership of the car. You may not be aware, however, there are also a few nice advantages to leasing, as well. It’s important to consider all financial aspects including down payment, monthly payments, term length, buyout payments, interest rate, depreciation, and maintenance & repair costs, before making a decision. A meticulous audit of your current financial situation, future needs, and your preference for commitment, will likely ensure that you make the ideal choice between leasing and buying a new car or truck.
Car lease payments are often times less expensive when compared to auto loan and car financing payments as the typical lease deal is pretty much renting with the option to buy out at the end of your lease term. Keep in mind when leasing that you will need a higher credit score, and will be required to carry collision and comprehensive insurance, though the same can be said for the lower rate auto loans. Although it can likely increase your monthly payments, it is also better to choose a model with the features you want or need, as personal satisfaction is often priceless.
Auto leases often include regular vehicle maintenance & repair. It’s important to remember this when projecting monthly costs of ownership vs leasing. No matter what make and model you select, mechanic bills are an uncertain cost that can rapidly add up. And for those of us who are not certified auto mechanics with a full toolset and hydraulic jack in the garage, leasing might be the best option for peace of mind.
In general, a new car, truck, or SUV lease saves money in the short term with lower monthly payments, while buying earns you a long term investment, meaning outright ownership of the value of the car at the time it is traded, sold, or paid-off. For best value on a lease, avoid lease return fees for terminating the vehicle lease early, going over mileage, or putting on excessive wear and tear. For your best investment on a purchased/financed vehicle, you can pay it off quickly and also avoid excessive wear and mileage.

We travel during winter and had to have an oil change/tire rotation on our new (to us) Pacifica while in the area Our service advisor, Xavier Maddox, was most accommodating. As we were waiting, he informed us about how long it might take (actually took less than he said) and kept us informed throughout the process, Xavier was pleasant, courteous, and helpful. Thank you.
Finnegan Dodge is the worst place ever to take your car. DON'T DO IT. I WILL NEVER TAKE MY CAR THERE EVER AGAIN. AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST ISSUE I HAVE HAD WITH THEM. IT IS ABOUT THE 5TH ONE.
I took my 2023 Dodge Challenger there on Saturday 1/10/2026. I booked my appointment online and I wanted them to do my State inspection and I keep hearing a rattling where my muffler is. So I dropped it off at 12:30 even though my appointment wasn't until 2 but I said that's fine do what you need to. So I ... Read More Full review text opened.DealerRater - Jan 12, 2026
Finnegan Dodge is the worst place ever to take your car. DON'T DO IT. I WILL NEVER TAKE MY CAR THERE EVER AGAIN. AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST ISSUE I HAVE HAD WITH THEM. IT IS ABOUT THE 5TH ONE.
I took my 2023 Dodge Challenger there on Saturday 1/10/2026. I booked my appointment online and I wanted them to do my State inspection and I keep hearing a rattling where my muffler is. So I dropped it off at 12:30 even though my appointment wasn't until 2 but I said that's fine do what you need to. So I went back home. It was almost 5:00 and I had not received a call about my car, so I called Jessica Boskey with no answer so I left a message. A few minutes later I called and tried to talk to someone in the service department to try and get a status on my car and all she did was transfer me to Jessica's phone again with no answer again. Then I decide to text Jessica. Then Jessica finally calls me and states that they need to do a diagnostic on my car to figure out what the rattle is and that they needed to keep it until Monday. I said WHAT....you never said that you needed to keep my car until Monday and Jessica was not even going to call me, she was just going to keep my car. Then I asked did you do my State Inspection and she said no that they had not done anything to my car because they had to wait until Monday to do diagnostic. I was so angry....the whole reason for taking my car there was for the State Inspection and the rattling was a secondary issue. So I told Jessica to get my car ready and I would be there to pick it up. So I hung up the phone and a few minutes later Jessica calls me back and states the Mechanic did drive my car 9 miles and could not replicate the rattling noise. I said xxxxxxxx you are lying, all she did was make something up to try and appease me.
I said I bet he drove my car 9 miles probably to get some lunch in Sugar Land because the rattling noise is easy to hear... it doesn't take a 9 mile test drive.
Finnegan is an unethical, manipulative dealership that you should AVOID at all costs.
I don’t usually write reviews, but after my experience with Finnegan chrysler Jeep Dodge, I feel it's necessary to warn others. I traded in my previous vehicle and purchased a new one from this dealership, expecting a smooth and respectful process from start to finish. Unfortunately, while the sales process started off decently, the way I was treated after signing the papers has been completely unacceptable.
Once the dealership had my trade-in and the deal was finalized, the communication stopped. I had questions and concerns that came up immediately after the purchase—some involving paperwork, some about the ... Read More Full review text opened.DealerRater - Oct 18, 2025

Unfortunately, while the sales process started off decently, the way I was treated after signing the papers has been completely unacceptable.
Once the dealership had my trade-in and the deal was finalized, the communication stopped. I had questions and concerns that came up immediately after the purchase—some involving paperwork, some about the condition of the vehicle, and some regarding the final numbers discussed. Every time I tried to follow up, I was either redirected, ignored, or promised a call back that never came. It honestly felt like I stopped mattering to them the moment they had my signature and my old vehicle in their possession.
What’s worse is the lack of accountability. I’ve been polite and patient in my attempts to get answers, but I’ve been blown off repeatedly. It’s incredibly frustrating to make such a big financial decision—especially one involving a trade-in—only to be treated like a nuisance afterward.
This kind of customer service is completely unacceptable. A dealership should value their customers beyond just closing the sale. The way I’ve been treated makes it clear they’re only interested in short-term gains, not building long-term relationships or trust.
If you’re thinking about trading in your vehicle and buying from Finnegan, I’d strongly advise thinking twice. I regret not going elsewhere, and I won’t be recommending this place to anyone.
This dealership has been nothing but a headache. I've had the same battery issue over and over, and instead of actually fixing the problem, they just swap it out with another "new" battery that ends up going bad again. To make things worse, they give you problems when it comes to honoring the warranty -- instead of standing behind the most recent replacement, they fall back on the original warranty, which makes absolutely no sense. If you're giving out faulty batteries, why should the customer be penalized? On top of that, good luck trying to get ... Read More Full review text opened.DealerRater - Sep 2, 2025

The manager is always "in a meeting" and never returns phone calls. I've given this place multiple chances, but at this point it's clear they don't value their customers' time or trust. Oh yeah, the receptionist is disrespectful and rude. 0/10 DONT RECOMMEND.
Noooo!!! My people, what a disappointment this dealership is, I do not recommend coming here. Everyone seems to want to help you and provide good service, but when your vehicle breaks down, you bring it in to get it fixed, it takes almost two weeks to get it fixed, only for the vehicle to end up worse. Even though they are a large dealer, they do not have vehicles to lend, since it is their problem for not having good workers in the service area/mechanics.
