Is Leasing A New VinFast A Better Decision Than Buying A Used Luxury Car?

One of the smartest buying decisions one can make is to get a used luxury car. You gain by getting a newer car with lots of comfort and features while getting it at a more affordable price. While that’s a wise decision, it is even wiser to take advantage of the lease offers from VinFast for the VF8 and VF9, as no other car offers more for less. Let’s dive in.

There’s More to Saving Money Than Just the Purchase Price

When buying a used luxury car, you’ll be able to save tens of thousands of dollars, but, unless you’re buying a car with an extra warranty, your new-to-you vehicle will have a warranty that is either soon to expire or has already expired. The major luxury brands, such as Acura, Audi, BMW, Lexus, and Mercedes-Benz, only have a 4-year, 50,000-mile warranty. Infiniti has a 4-year, 60,000-mile warranty, though. Still, these all pale in comparison to the 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper and 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranties that VinFast offers customers.

Current VinFast Lease Offers

VinFast is offering customers a brand new 2025 VF8 for just $299 per month for 24 months or the VF9 for only $499 per month for 24 months. Neither vehicle requires a down payment, unlike all other car manufacturers’ leases. VinFast is also giving buyers a free VinFast Level 2 home charger, a $600 savings. We covered how brilliant and easy the charger is in a previous article. For a VF8, you’ll spend a little over $7,000 over the period of a 2-year lease and around $12,000 for a VF9. Those values alone are less than what you’ll spend on depreciation and maintenance on a gas-powered luxury car over the same period.

Expensive When New Means Expensive to Maintain

While buying a used luxury car saves you money, you have to determine how long you’re willing to keep this car. A car that costs $80,000 or more new will still need parts that are made for an $80,000 car, not the depreciated price you paid for it. When factoring in parts and labor, something as simple as suspension components can easily cost you thousands of dollars for a BMW 5-Series, and since most cars have turbos these days, there’s another expensive part or set of parts to fix when they go bad. Even though saving thousands of dollars can feel great at first, you may only have your car for 20,000 or so miles when you could possibly have a catastrophic failure happen.

Current Used Car Interest Rates

Should we even discuss interest rates on used car purchases right now? Depending on your credit score, Nerd Wallet shows the national average APR for a used car loan is anywhere from 7.67% for someone with an 800 credit score, all the way up to 21.81% with a 500 credit score.

A Much Simpler Maintenance Schedule

When leasing a brand new VF8 or VF9, there are no oil changes or regularly scheduled maintenance for the most part. Thanks to regenerative braking, EV brake pads and rotors last quite a bit longer than gas-powered cars. It is recommended that you still have your tires rotated every 7,500 miles and, at that point, have the technician check the battery system, coolant, brakes, and the like. And with the VinFast mobile app, you can schedule your service appointments and then check your car’s status while it’s in for service.

What Information to Take with You

So, what have we learned? A used luxury car can be a good financial decision over buying the same car new. However, with current lease rates, warranty coverage, and the fact that used car rates are insanely high, there has never been a better time to save thousands of dollars by leasing a luxury EV like the VF8 or VF9.

What About an EV Will Surprise You Over a Gas Car

An EV can be a whole new experience for some drivers, especially when first seeing a car like the VinFast VF8 or VF9 and noticing that they look slightly different from gas-powered vehicles. EVs allow designers to be slightly more creative in various ways, especially since they don’t have to worry about cooling an engine with lots of grilles and holes. But, there are way more things about an electric car that will surprise you in good ways. Let’s take a look.

Acceleration Like You’ve Never Experienced

When first getting into a VinFast, you’ll notice that there isn’t a traditional shifter, and you don’t have to put your foot on the brake to ensure the car does not roll when put into drive. Instead, you need to press the accelerator pedal to make the car move, and it will not move until you do so. There is zero lag or loss of power between the throttle pedal and the battery system. A gas car needs gas to flow into the engine, spark, and then use that as momentum to create momentum. A battery is simply on or off, and pressing the “gas” pedal initiates the “on” that moves the car. The immediate thrust felt when you fully depress the accelerator is all of the vehicle’s torque surging all at once. There is no other feeling like it, except maybe the escape velocity of a rocket heading to outer space at 25,000 miles per hour.

Simple Maintenance

Now let’s talk maintenance. A VinFast, or any other electric vehicle, does not require a routine oil change every 5,000 miles. There is no oil in the cars to change, so that’s one major service you can completely forget about. An internal combustion engine needs coolant to stay cool, and because of this, you need to change that fluid at least every couple of years. However, an EV only uses coolant to keep the batteries cool, so when your car’s brought in for service, the technicians will simply check the coolant level and top up if needed. There are also fewer ways for coolant to leak from an EV than from an ICE car.

Brakes Last Much Longer

Overall, an EV requires much less maintenance than a conventional gas car. For instance, the brake and power steering fluid do need to be flushed and refilled during a regular maintenance interval. You will, in turn, spend much less money because an EV’s brakes last much longer. Thanks to the technology discussed further down, the pads and rotors can last upwards of 100,000 miles.

Regenerative Braking

When stopping with an EV, you will notice that, like any other car, the brakes work as they should. But the brakes of an electric car do something very clever. Every time you tap the brakes in a car, you are losing kinetic energy, so engineers and scientists created a procedure where, when braking, the lost energy is captured by the car and sent to the battery to feed it that extra energy, which in turn adds to the vehicle’s range.

Shhh….

A big thing that first-time electric vehicle owners report is how quiet their car is. Because there is no engine that combusts and rattles, or an exhaust that sends harmful emissions out of a tailpipe, an EV is like sitting in a room when everyone’s left the house, and it’s just you sitting in a chair enjoying the silence. EVs have also been engineered to allow less wind and road noise into the cabin, further enhancing this serenity.

The World’s Best Warranty and Care

There is genuinely nothing like an electric vehicle, and especially nothing else on the market like a VinFast. With their 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and the industry’s best 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty, you will be taken care of in every way. No one protects their car more than VinFast, and it shows in how much customers love the after-sales experience.

YouTube Tech Reviewer Impressed with his VinFast Ownership Experience

More tech reviewers are getting behind the wheels of various electric cars, and while most of them have been big fans of Teslas and the like for some time now, some of them have started opening their minds to newer vehicles like the VinFast VF8. Mark Linsangan, a tech YouTuber with over 150,000 subscribers and a Tesla Model 3 owner, recently took a VF8 for a spin and explained why it may very well be his next car purchase.

A Tech Reviewer Who Likes Cars

Since Mark isn’t a car reviewer, he has a unique perspective from the tech side of things. This also means that he isn’t jaded or cynical when reviewing the VinFast. Instead of approaching the review like a professional car reviewer who has driven hundreds of vehicles, Mark sees the VF8 as something that needs to fit his technological lifestyle.

A Tesla Owner Who Loves the VF8

Because Mark leases a Tesla Model 3, he brings a unique perspective and finds multiple things that he prefers about the VF8. One thing includes the 360-degree camera view, along with the ability to switch the camera view angles. There’s even a tow view that makes it easier to line up and back your VinFast up to whatever you want to tow. Mark remarked how his Tesla does not have the ability to see 360 degrees around the car; the VF8 has this as standard on the base Eco trim. He also loved the fact that under 9 mph, the front camera will automatically display an image of the left or right on the screen, depending on which turn signal you have on.

The Perfect Infotainment and HUD Displays

The wonderful and bright 15.6-inch infotainment touchscreen also doubles as your gauge cluster. As a professional tech reviewer, Mark Linsangan gets to see dozens of devices with amazing screens every year, from laptops to tablets and, of course, smartphones. So when he says that the “massive” and bright infotainment screen and head-up display (HUD) are some of his favorite features, he means it. He loved the standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, something Tesla doesn’t offer in its cars. He especially appreciated the turn-by-turn navigation popping up on the HUD to keep your eyes on the road. Mark called it all a seamless operation. He noted that the wireless charger did not have a problem with phones that have big camera bumps.

Charge All Devices from Anywhere in the Car

Next on his list was the fact that you can charge so many devices at once. There are two USB-C ports for the driver and front passenger, and two more for rear occupants. There’s also a 90-watt charging port in the rear of the VF8 between the air vents and other ports. This setup makes it convenient to charge power-hungry laptops and other devices easily from any seat in the car.

VinFast Is Listening and Making Meaningful Updates

Since Mark was able to drive one of the first-ever production VF8 models from last year, he lauded VinFast for listening to customer feedback and providing this latest model with excellent updates, including the great throttle response, sharper suspension with better turning characteristics, and a much more comfortable and smoother ride over any type of surface, especially rough pavement.

The Best Warranty and Lease Prices Around

By far Mark’s favorite features of the VF8 are the amazing lease specials along with the unbeatable warranty. We have talked a lot about how the VinFast warranty is the best in the business with a ten-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a ten-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty. To lease a VinFast VF8 Eco, all you need to do is hand over $974 and you can drive away paying just $279 per month for 24 months. If you would like the top Plus trim, that will cost just $1,024 down with a $329 monthly payment for 24 months.

VinFast VF8 Offers Lowest Barrier of Entry into the EV World

When it comes to buying your first electric vehicle, there are tons of options on the market and lots of information to digest, including trim levels, setups (single, dual, or tri-motor), charging speeds, and the like. EVs can also be expensive because the technology is still new. And there is always the question, “Is the $7,500 tax credit a discount when I buy the car?” This is where VinFast has made it easier for buyers to understand what they are getting with their VF8s.

With the VF8 customers are getting one battery, an 87.7-kWh dual-motor setup. With nearly every EV there is a choice of either two-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The VF8 is simply all-wheel drive. Most EVs also have half a dozen or so trim levels with a multitude of packages. Not so with the VinFast. There are two trim levels, Eco and Plus. There aren’t really any packages. Both models sport Head-Up Display (HUD) as standard, a 15.6-inch infotainment touchscreen display, Sony RIDEVU in-car entertainment, every safety feature imaginable, 11 airbags, camp mode, and more.

The only differences between the two trim levels are power and range. The Eco has 349 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque with 264 miles of driving range, and the Plus has 402 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque with 243 miles of range. Both models can charge from 10 to 70 percent of battery capacity in just 35 minutes on a Level 3 DC fast charger, which means you can go shopping or grab a bite to eat with friends while your car charges—no need to make time during your day to stop at gas stations or forget to get gas before you get home only to realize in the morning that you’re now going to be late for work.

Throw in the fantastic VinFast mobile app, and you will see why customers are starting to understand what makes VinFast so great. With the app you can schedule and check on the status of your car when it’s in for service. Unlike most other EV car companies’ apps, this one allows you to save your payment details to be used at nearly every different paid charging station. Most companies force you to download their specific app to pay for charging, potentially exposing your private information if their systems are ever hacked. VinFast makes it so that you can use almost any charger out there by just using its app to pay.

VinFast also offers its own home charger that is very easy to use and have installed. The company’s charger offers 12 kW, or 240 volts and 50 amps, of max power that will easily charge your car’s battery without any issues while you relax in your home. Plus, you can check the charging status on the mobile app. You can even set up what times you’d like the battery to start charging and when you want it fully charged by.

To get your own VinFast VF8, the company is currently offering the most competitive leasing specials to help you see the true value of its car. The VF8 Eco will run you just $279 per month for 24 months with $974 due before you drive off. Or, if you would like the top Plus trim, that will cost only $1,024 down with a $329 monthly payment for 24 months.

VinFast also offers the best warranty in the whole automotive industry with a ten-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a ten-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty. There is currently no company making an EV that this level of confidence in its vehicles—not even Tesla.

VinFast’s Focus on After-Sales Service

VinFast vehicles are gaining traction in the United States, with deliveries up 115% in the third quarter of 2024 versus the same time period in 2023. Even better, the company was actually on pace to meet its goal of 80,000 vehicles sold for 2024. While we won’t have the exact figures for a few more weeks, it is worth noting that VinFast reported their Q3 revenue was better than what they estimated it would be, which was up 42% compared to Q2.

A Car’s Only as Good as Its Warranty

While it is obvious that positive buzz and excellent lease pricing are certainly a big part of the company’s success, it is also thanks to their after-sales service that has industry analysts and buyers really excited about the future of VinFast. As part of the after-sales service, VinFast offers the world’s best warranty with a 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty. No other company offers anything competitive. Not Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Tesla, Volvo, Rivian, Chevrolet, Ford, none of them. “Unlike traditional automakers that prioritize sales figures, VinFast has adopted a customer-centric approach by investing heavily in after-sales services. This strategic move not only boosts sales but also fosters long-lasting relationships with customers,” explained Phan Thanh Man, an auto market analyst.

More Dealers for People to Find the Right Car

VinFast has also been making great strides in its dealer network. While Ewing VinFast of Plano was one of the first VinFast dealers in the country, the Vietnamese brand now has 36 dealerships across 15 states, which they were able to do in less than two years on the market. That is remarkable. This is something that customers seem to prefer as they enjoy going to a physical store to get their eyes and hands on a VF8 or VF9 to truly understand what is so special about these Pininfarina-designed electric SUVs.

An Excellent and Feature-Rich Smartphone App

VinFast has also worked tirelessly on its smartphone app, which not only allows you to schedule service appointments but also tracks the status of your booking, pays for any repairs or service items, and more. There is one feature that no other automaker has yet to adopt, which is the ability to use a single app to easily pay for charging at most public chargers around the country. The VinFast app is equipped for this. Most of the time, you need to download that specific charging company’s app to pay for your charge, leaving you exposed if that data is ever stolen. There are more than a dozen charging companies across the U.S. Each one has a separate app that requires you to enter your credit card information to be stored in the app. VinFast makes it so you won’t need to do that.

This Will Be the Best Year Yet

2025 is already shaping up to be a brilliant year for VinFast, and it is down to how hard they are working to foster relationships and build brand loyalty with every person that buys or leases one of their vehicles.
