Fundamental Terms You Need to Know

How Does a Car Lease Work Casper WYTo begin, we’ve compiled some of the terminology you’ll want to be familiar with before you decide to lease a vehicle. These terms include:

  • Sale Price
  • Allotted Miles
  • Disposition Fee

It’s always best to be aware of the sale price of the vehicle you have your eye on. This number will provide a good idea of how low or high your lease payments will be.

When leasing a car, you’ll be given a certain number of miles to stay below every year. If you go over this number, you’ll be expected to pay an over-mileage charge. If you think you might drive more than the allotted miles, it’s easy to have that number raised when negotiating the lease terms by increasing your monthly payment.

The disposition fee covers the dealership’s cost for cleaning and selling the vehicle once you’ve returned it at the end of your lease term. You won’t have to pay the disposition fee if you decide to buy the car when the lease term ends.  

Leasing a Car: The Basics

A lease term is usually around two to three years. You should be aware that there will be a few fees and taxes for which you’ll be responsible.

When your lease term is over, all you’ll have to do is bring the vehicle back to the dealership for a brief inspection to check for any damage or excessive wear and tear. Once this step is complete, you can move on to decide which car you’d like to lease next.

Key Leasing Benefits

One of the most noticeable advantages that comes with automotive leasing is that you won’t pay for the car’s entire value as you would if you were buying and going through the financing process. Instead, you’re only financially responsible for it for the duration of the lease itself. Therefore, your down payment and monthly payments are typically lower than when financing a purchase. There’s even a chance you won’t have to provide a down payment at all.

Maintenance costs will likely be lower as well since the vehicle you’ll be leasing is new and under warranty. If something unexpected does occur during the time it’s in your possession, you won’t have to pay for it if it’s covered by the warranty.
