How Does Leasing a Car Work?

A lot of Harvey drivers have come to the conclusion that leasing a car is right for them. But how does leasing a car work? Read the instructions below from the Ray Brandt Kia finance center on how to lease a car. 

How to Lease a Car

How does leasing a car work? It’s fairly simple. Just follow these steps for how to lease a car:

• Decide on how big of a down payment you can make. The larger the down payment you make upfront, the lower your monthly payments will be. If you have a trade-in vehicle, that can lower your monthly payment as well.
• Calculate the size of the monthly payments you can afford to make.
• Check out our lease specials. You can find some great deals on popular Kia models!
• Once you’ve started the lease, stay within the mileage limit. Exceeding this limit can result in additional charges.
• Keep up with the maintenance schedule. This is a requirement of your lease.

How to Return a Leased Car

How does leasing a car work when you’re ready to return it? That process is simple, too. Here’s how:

• Submit your car for a pre-inspection.
• Fix any issues that came up during the inspection.
• Thoroughly clean the vehicle.
• Delete your information from the entertainment system.
• Bring your lease paperwork and maintenance documentation.
• Pay any fees.
• Pick out your new vehicle! (You can also choose to extend your current lease, buy your leased vehicle, or just return the car without exchanging for a new one.)

Advantages of Leasing Over Buying

Here’s why a lot of Marrero customers have chosen to lease:

• Lower Sales Tax – In most states, leasing a vehicle drastically lowers sales tax.
• Simpler Trade-In Process – Just turn your car in at the end of the lease and start a lease on a new one.
• Lower Monthly Payments – If you’re working with a strict budget, your monthly payment amount may be the most important factor when deciding whether to lease or finance.
• Warranties – Leased automobiles are always under warranty, as long as you stay under the mileage limit.
• The Latest Features – Because you’ll be driving a brand-new vehicle every couple of years, you’ll always have the latest feature options at your fingertips.
