<strong>What</strong> <strong>Should</strong> <strong>You</strong><br />
<strong>Consider</strong> <strong>Before</strong><br />
<strong>Leasing</strong> <strong>Vehicle</strong>?
If you are new to car leasing, you might not be aware<br />
what should you ask the dealer. There are multiple<br />
elements of a lease agreement that drives the price. If<br />
you ask the right question, you can be more accurate<br />
evaluating a vehicle lease deal.<br />
Special discounted price<br />
Many carmakers offer discounted lease specials<br />
periodically. It is done to harvest interest on slow-selling<br />
models. The special prices can offer substantial savings to<br />
you. However, check out the final print of least ad to<br />
avoid additional expenses. Often, the quoted payment<br />
doesn’t include sales tax and fees.<br />
<strong>Leasing</strong> and your credit score<br />
<strong>Leasing</strong> affects your credit, in the same way as a car loan<br />
affects it.
Applying for a lease activates a credit inquiry on your<br />
report which in return affects the credit score. Taking on<br />
a lease consumes credit utilization which also affects the<br />
score. Over time, credit utilization falls, and timely<br />
payment history causes it to increase again. Leases are<br />
considered installment loans, but a high utilization rate<br />
on installment loans doesn’t impact as much as it<br />
adversely affects in high utilization on credit cards. As<br />
with any form of credit, late or missed payment reduces<br />
your score.<br />
Leased car and repair<br />
With a leased car, you don’t have to pay for the repairs<br />
covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, but you are<br />
responsible for the repairs which are not covered. It<br />
means you may incur additional expenses on the vehicle<br />
you do not even own. Similarly, you can modify a leased<br />
vehicle as per your preference. Also, if we talk about<br />
repair, buying a car enables you to decide what gets<br />
repaired and what no.
For example, if your financed car gets a minor dent, you<br />
have the freedom to determine if you want to get it fixed<br />
or not. But with a leased car, you have to get it done or<br />
else pay for the penalties. So, it is advisable to purchase a<br />
leased car from a trustworthy automobile leasing<br />
company in India.<br />
Leased car and insurance coverage<br />
Insurance coverage on leased car is often more costly.<br />
The monthly payments of a leased car may be less<br />
expensive, but the insurance you will have to pay will be<br />
a little costly. It is due to the reason that the least<br />
agreement with the dealer often specifies that you will<br />
have an insurance coverage that should exceed the statemandated<br />
minimum. It is not bad to pay a little extra for<br />
the security of enhanced coverage.<br />
Now you must be aware about the basic things that<br />
happen with leasing vehicle.
