Dealer Leasing Tricks
When it comes to auto leasing, many people get overwhelmed by the complex terms and industry jargon. This often leads them to rely too heavily on dealers, resulting in paying much more than necessary. Here's a look at some common tricks dealers use to increase their profits while leaving customers paying more than expected.
Trick 1: Leasing is Always a Better Deal than Buying
Dealers often promote leasing by highlighting the appeal of lower monthly payments, encouraging customers to sign long-term contracts, sometimes extending beyond five years. However, there are two major downsides to these lengthy agreements: exceeding mileage limits and facing substantial repair costs. Leases typically charge 10 to 20 cents per mile beyond the agreed limit, and with warranties lasting only about three years, unexpected expenses for mileage and wear and tear can be considerable.
Trick 2: Low 2-3% APR on Your Lease
While dealers may boast about a low APR, they’re often referring to the lease money factor instead. This factor is crucial for determining monthly payments but doesn’t directly translate to the actual interest rate. To find a more accurate rate, multiply the money factor by 24. For instance, a 0.003 money factor actually corresponds to a 7.2% annual interest rate, providing better insight into your lease costs.
Trick 3: Easy Early Lease Termination
Dealers might suggest that it's simple to exit a lease early, knowing that customer needs can change. However, signing a lease binds you to monthly payments for the entire term, with limited options for early termination. Ending a lease prematurely often results in significant financial penalties, either for missing payments or breaking the contract earlier than agreed.
How to Protect Yourself
To avoid falling for these tricks, educate yourself about leasing. Dive into the details and understand the terms dealers use. Sit down with them to calculate the numbers, ensuring you comprehend how they arrived at the monthly payment. Never sign anything until you fully understand all the terms and ensure they match your calculations. Remember, you have the power to decide whether the agreement suits your needs?"don’t let the dealer pressure you into signing.
