Lease A Car

Lease a car

What does it mean to lease a new car? Essentially, leasing is similar to renting – you make payments for the use of the car over a certain time period, and you return the car at the end of that period. Most likely, you will lease a car for 2-3 years and then have the option of buying the car or giving it back to the dealer.

WHOM AM I LEASING THE CAR FROM?

You are not leasing the car from the dealership or leasing agent that you got it from. You are leasing it from a finance company. The car is “sold” to the  finance company by the dealer and then that company leases it to you.

WHY DO LEASES HAVE LOWER MONTHLY PAYMENTS THAN LOANS?

When you take out a loan to purchase a car, you are paying the entire purchase price plus interest over a fixed period of time. When you lease a car, you are paying the difference between the purchase price and the projected residual value, and you only pay interest on that amount.

WHY YOU WANT TO LEASE

  1. Lower Monthly Payments
    You are not paying for the whole car — just a portion. Monthly lease payments can be up to 60% less than purchase payments per month.
  2. Always in Style
    Evolve with the cars. Instead of driving the same car for 10+ years, you will be driving a new car every 3-5 years. If you look forward to new makes, models, and features, or if you like that new car smell, leasing is your ticket.
  3. Are You Down with the Payment?
    Because the total amount that you are paying over the course of your lease is significantly lower than if you were to purchase the vehicle, you aren’t required to fork over as large a down payment (if any) when you sign.
  4. Say Goodbye to the Shop
    If you are leasing the car for 3-4 years, the odds of major maintenance issues are unlikely. If something were to occur, you should still be under warranty.
  5. Save Money on Taxes
    When you lease a car, you are paying the depreciated amount of the vehicle over the lease period. Therefore, you are only being taxed on that amount. Plus, you are not paying that tax in one lump sum — it’s spread out over the course of your lease payments, similar to your insurance.
BOTTOM LINE:  Leasing a car is actually test driving your car for three years prior to having the option of the purchase.
