What You Must Understand Before You Lease
By: Roosevelt Gist
The auto lease is the most flexible financing tool
available. When properly explained and fully understood, it will become
your choice. Auto leasing is gaining popularity for one reason, the increasing
price of a new car. You only pay for the depreciation accessed during the
time you possess the vehicle. If you would abandon your intense desire for
immediate ownership you would be leasing now. The major difference between
buying and leasing is the timing of ownership. When you buy ownership is
assumed at the signing of the contract. However, technically you do not
own the car until you completely pay off your loan. When you lease ownership
occurs at the end of your lease if you desire.
If you keep a vehicle for six years or more, do not lease. However,
if you trade with a loan balance, consider leasing. There are some very important
facts that you must know, understand and accept before you enter into the
lease agreement. Learning these after you lease will sour your leasing experience.
