Research

Before making any crucial decision, it’s always a good idea to do some research on leasing. Car-leasing terminology may differ from traditional car-buying verbiage, so it’s a good idea to know what the process may entail and the important words you should be familiar with.

Here are some common phrases and terminology you may encounter:

• Lessor/lessee: The lessor is the manufacturer or dealership; The lessee is you.
• Maturity date: This is when your lease is due to be returned, usually 36 months after you begin the lease.
• Residual value: This amount helps determine your monthly payment, as the lessor determines a future value for the vehicle after your lease is complete.

Now that you know some of the common terminology used during the leasing process, let’s dive into setting your budget and lease specials.

Determine Your Budget

One of the benefits of leasing is that the monthly payments may be less than a traditional auto loan. Still, you want to determine your budget and have the proper down payment, as some leasing specials require a specific amount down.

Depending on what vehicle you want, your budget may vary. In addition to determining your budget, you should also browse leasing specials, like the ones at our dealership.

Leasing specials are a great way to step into the driver’s seat of a ride you love for an excellent value.

Know How Many Miles You Plan to Drive

Most leases provide the lessee with a mileage range per year, usually around 12,000 miles per year. It’s also important to make sure that your lease fits your mileage needs. That way, you can drive your car the distances you need without acquiring any penalties for going over the mileage.
