<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.
