The Benefits of Leasing a Car

For many North Haven car shoppers, upgrading their ride means financing a car for five to seven years and selling or trading it in when itā€™s time for a new one. While this is still a good option for most drivers, thereā€™s another way to get your hands on the new vehicle you want ā€“ leasing. Leasing is a viable way for shoppers to get behind the wheel of a new vehicle without the hassle ā€“ and expense ā€“ of buying outright. Learn more about the befits of leasing with Executive Dodge Jeep RAM to find out whether itā€™s the right option for you.

How Does Leasing Work?

Unlike financing, which is based on the vehicleā€™s total purchase price minus your down payment and/or trade-in, your lease payment is based on the depreciated value of the vehicle at the end of the lease term. Rather than financing the entire cost of the vehicle, youā€™ll be financing that depreciated value. For example, if your vehicle has a $30,000 purchase price and will be worth $20,000 at the end of your three-year lease, your payments will be based on the $10,000 difference in value, plus fees and interest. This lower liability often means drivers can afford to lease a vehicle that has more luxury options and technology than they could if they were buying the vehicle outright.

What Are the Benefits of Leasing?

There are many benefits of leasing a vehicle, particularly if you like driving a model with the latest features, but donā€™t want to go beyond your budget in the process:

  • You can upgrade to a new model more frequently
  • You can get more vehicle for the money
  • Full warranty protection for the entire lease term
  • Lower tax and registration costs
  • No trade-in to worry about
  • Smaller down payment required

If you like having access to the latest technology, and you arenā€™t concerned with customizing your vehicle so much as having reliable, stylish transportation in Hamden, leasing might be the perfect option for you.
