BENEFITS OF LEASING FAQ
As new vehicle prices continue to increase, many clients are opting for longer and longer finance terms and therefore rarely realize ownership. If you typically keep your car seven to eight years or more, leasing might not be for you. However, most clients have much shorter trade cycles.
If you are unsure about your future needs for a car, then it’s best to keep your options open and your liability low with a lease. Leasing allows you the flexibility to trade the vehicle, use the guaranteed purchase option to own it, or simply walk away at lease end. Deciding whether to lease or buy a car depends on your priorities, but leasing is a smart choice for those who value lower monthly payments and flexibility. Read more about the benefits of leasing vs. buying.
- Leasing a car subtracts the vehicle’s price and its expected value at the end of the lease so that you only pay for the time that you actually drive the vehicle. Say you find your dream car with a $40,000 price tag, and it’s expected to be worth $30,000 after three years. If you lease it, you just have to pay for the $10,000 in expected depreciation, plus interest and fees. If you buy it, you have to pay the full $40,000, plus interest and fees.
- No, you do not need a down payment for a car lease. And in most cases, you don’t even need to pay your tax title and license upfront.
At D&M you can lease used cars for less than a new vehicle. Many car shoppers in the market for a used car are trying to get a better deal because new car prices are so high. A new vehicle loses as much as 25% of its value in the first year alone. So, when you get a used car lease, someone else has already taken the initial hit on depreciation which gives you the payment savings you want. If you’re wondering whether to lease or buy a car, leasing can often be the more cost-effective option.
