If you’re trying to save money to buy a new car - the car that you’ve always wanted - but you can’t purchase it yet, you have other options! You can find an affordable car lease for the next 2 - 3 years that will allow you to save money and eventually get the car you want. Leasing a car is like “test driving” it; you’ll get a chance to learn more about the car without purchasing it and you may decide that you don’t want the car after all. No problem! You can just return it at the end of the lease and choose a different car.

Car Lease Agreements

Car Lease Agreements

Always take the time to read your lease agreement thoroughly before putting your John Hancock (signature). There is always a lot of fine print so bring a magnifying glass if you have to and read it through. Sometimes the lease agreement will have restrictions on your lease. An example, some leases will restrict you from taking your car out of the country or even state. Be smart and even ask a friend or family member to look it over in order to cover all bases.


Open-ended Car Leases

Open-ended Car Leases

Be careful with open-ended leases as these types require you to actually purchase the car at the end of the lease. This could really hurt you if the fair market value of your car has dropped due to market conditions. Take Chrysler for example, people were returning their leases and then Chrysler simply was having trouble selling their larger vehicles because of high gas prices. Therefore they have almost stopped leasing completely as it is hurting their bottom line as some cars are hard to sell in this market condition. Imagine you have an open-ended lease and buy the car for $20K but the fair market value is $10K….that is a bad business decision. Make sure that the resale value of the vehicle you are about to lease is really strong and high. Normally this is not an issue for high end or luxury vehicle leases. However, one benefit is that an open-ended lease usually has cheaper monthly payments.

Close-ended Car Leases

With today’s crazy market volatility it seems best for many gas guzzlers to just give the car back to the dealership and find a new lease to take over. Close-ended leases seem to be the most popular as it gives you the option of purchasing the car at the end of the lease term OR walk away without buying it at all. The purchase price or buyout value is determined before the lease is signed.

Simply put, closed-ended leases offer you the power to choose what is best for you.


How to Lease a Car: Car Lease Payments and Depreciation

Car Lease Payments and Depreciation

As you know the longer you own any asset the lower the value of the asset unless of course we are talking about a Mona Lisa or the Trump Towers. With car leasing, you need to think of a lease payments as the amount the car depreciates (drops in value) while you drive it. How is this depreciation or amortization calculated? It is figured by subtracting the car’s projected value at the end of the lease (aka residual value) from the current retail price (MRSP).

Ok so if your car has a retail price of let’s say $25,000 and have a future value of $15,000 in 4 years (48mth lease), the depreciation is the difference between those figures, $10,000. Low and behold, you will be making payments on the $10,000.
