Read on to find out how to lease a car in Eatontown!

Getting Started: How Does Leasing a Car Work?

When you lease a car, you are paying to use a car for a set period of time. Your leasing costs are mainly based on the vehicle’s expected depreciation over that period, along with any additional fees and interest charges built into the contract. Here’s how leasing a car work in detail: 

• All leases require you to stay within a set mileage limit. Going over this limit will result in additional charges, so plan accordingly. Consider how many miles you’ll drive and calculate the number of miles you spend on commuting each year. This way, you’ll know how much wiggle room you have left to ensure you won’t pass over the mileage limit. 
• Leasing a car is usually less expensive than financing a model you intend to purchase. Still, it’s a smart idea to explore available specialsbefore you sign on the dotted line.
• During the lease term, you will be responsible for completing scheduled maintenance. Besides the mileage limit, you’ll also need to keep the vehicle as close to factory condition as possible. If there are any damages that are beyond wear and tear, you’ll be charged accordingly. Our service department can complete all necessary maintenance work, so you can continue to rely on our team long after you’ve driven off the lot.

2. Clean the vehicle and wipe your information from the information and entertainment systems.
3. Bring your lease paperwork, along with any records that show when and where you scheduled service.
