Easterns is proud to have partnered with Musa Auto Finance to offer our customers a new option for their used car needs. Is leasing a used car right for you? Read on to learn more. Can You Lease a Used Car? Leasing a used car is set up almost identically to leasing a new car. The basic structure is the lessee (customer) is effectively financing the difference in the sales price of the vehicle and the residual value of the car. The residual values are determined by the lender, or by a third party chosen by the lender. This value is what the lender is estimating the car will be worth at the end of the term of the lease. This is where there is a difference in new car and used, the residual values in new cars are set by the Manufacture and are percentage point based and used cars the values are specific to the model and mileage amount. Just like in new car leasing the customer always has the first right of refusal to purchase the vehicle he or she has leased at the end of the term at the set residual value. This is a moment where a lease can be a huge benefit because it is possible the residual was set too low, and the customer may be able to purchase the car for far below market value. How do I know if leasing a used car is the best option for me? Benefits of Leasing a Used Vehicle Vs Leasing a New Vehicle with Easterns are: May Offer a Lower Monthly Payment Used Vehicles have a lower selling price than new, allowing the customer to avoid the steep new car depreciation curve. Better Candidate for a Lease Buyout Since prices start lower at the beginning of the lease, their residual values will also be lower. Allowing for a potentially more lucrative deal when offered the buyout option at the end of your lease term. Potentially Lower Auto Insurance Cost Because the value of the car would be less than a new vehicle the insurance cost may also be lower. Leasing could be the best option for you and your family.
