That’s why we’ve put together this detailed leasing guide. On this page, you’ll find all kinds of information about the leasing process including step-by-step instructions and a handful of helpful leasing tips. Read ahead to learn more!
Step-by-Step Leasing Directions
While the leasing process differs a bit from the buying process, it’s just as simple if you know what you’re doing and prepares properly for it. You’ll have an easy and enjoyable leasing process if you follow these easy step-by-step leasing directions:
- Figure Out Your Budget and Stick to It. Look at your monthly take-home pay and determine how much you can afford to pay in lease payments per month. It’s recommended that you don’t commit to any more than 20% of your take-home pay per month.
- Find the Perfect Car for You. After you’ve drawn up a budget, it’s time to draw up a next-car wishlist. Figure out what you want and what you need in a vehicle. Then, go out and find it.
- Go for a Test Drive. The test drive is crucial and cannot be overlooked. You can’t know for sure if a car is a good fit for you until you get behind the wheel and drive.
- Sit Down with a Finance Professional. Meet with the finance team at the dealership you’re leasing from and hammer out all the lease details. You’ll figure out how long you want to lease, how many miles you need, and more.
- Do a Bit of Research Before You Sign. Look around online to make sure that you’re getting a good deal before you sign your new lease agreement.
Extra Helpful Leasing Tips
To make the leasing process even easier, take advantage of these helpful tips:
- Stick to your budget no matter what.
- Don’t underestimate how many miles you’ll be driving.
- Make sure to keep up with the routine maintenance of your vehicle.
- Try to avoid getting a lease that’s longer than the factory warranty of the vehicle.
- Also, try to avoid getting a lease longer than five years—after that, it might make more sense to buy the vehicle.
