Chevy Lease Deals

The Benefits of Leasing

When it comes time to get your next new car, you will want to consider all of your options. If you are a person who prefers to drive newer models, and find yourself trading in your vehicle after just a few years, then leasing is probably the right choice for you. Traditionally, leasing was only popular with high-end vehicles featuring high-end sticker prices. Leasing a Volvo, BMW, Maserati, and other luxury brands was commonplace, while taking out a lease on a more conservatively priced car from Ford or Chevrolet was much less common. As more American drivers want to keep up with latest in-vehicle technology and safety features, they are turning to mainstream car brands to provide great lease deals.

Here at McCluskey Chevrolet, we offer amazing leasing opportunities to customers who are interested in all that a vehicle lease has to offer. While leasing is not for everyone, there are certain benefits that are undeniable, and perfect for drivers who find these certain perks attractive. Take a look at some of the most common benefits to lease a brand new Chevy model from McCluskey Chevrolet.

• Lower Down Payment: Most leasing structures are set up for low down payments, or even no down payments at all. Depending on your credit score and history, you may be able to lease a new Chevy with no money down. If your particular lease contract requires a down payment, it will likely be nowhere near the same amount as it would be if you were to buy the car with traditional financing.
• Low Monthly Payments: When considering the difference between leasing a new Chevrolet or financing it, it is important to look at how much you can afford as a monthly payment. Typically, leased vehicles will cost less when it comes to monthly payments.
• Get a Better Equipped Car: Because monthly lease payments are usually lower than if you were to buy a car the traditional way, you are able to afford a better equipped car. Rather than get the base model with a few minor upgrades, drivers who take out a lease can afford the higher trim level on their desired Chevrolet model.
• Low Repair Costs: New vehicle leases can last for as little as three years, and as long as the lessee desires. Most drivers who take advantage of a Chevrolet lease enjoy the fact that most repair costs are covered under the manufacturer's warranty. New 2017 Chevy models come with a three year, or 36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper limited warranty, as well as two complimentary scheduled maintenance visits. While you will end up paying for most of the oil changes your leased Chevy requires, the likelihood of having to spend money on other repairs and expenses is very low.
• Get a New Car More Often: Along with the benefit of always having your vehicle covered under Chevrolet’s warranty program, Chevy lessees also take advantage of the fact that they can always drive the newest model available. With Chevrolet lease agreements lasting as little as three years, drivers can easily swap out their vehicles for the most current model when they choose to lease, rather than finance a new Chevrolet.
• No Trade-In Hassles: Drivers who own a vehicle need to either sell their cars before purchasing new ones, or negotiate a trade-in value with a local dealership. Both of these can be tedious, and add time onto the already time-consuming process of buying a new car. At the end of a Chevy lease agreement, drivers simply bring their vehicles back to the dealership, and either lease a newer version of the same model, or find a different vehicle altogether. Either way, this is hassle-free and a great way to take the headache out of car buying.

What Happens When You Return Your Lease?

If you've finally decided that leasing is the right option for you, it's important to be aware of what happens at the end of your lease. What are your options, and what steps do you need to take? These might be the questions that are floating through your mind, and it's a good idea to consider your unique needs before making your final decision. Leases typically last anywhere from 24-36 months and even beyond, but be prepared; this time will fly by quicker than you may realize. About a year out from the end of your lease, it is recommended to sit down and decide how you'd like to handle your lease end responsibilities.

Your first option, and perhaps the most common option we see here at McCluskey, is turning in your current vehicle and trading up for a newer model. This is especially convenient for those who always like to drive a new car with all of the most innovative tech features and flashy designs. When you find a vehicle you love, it just makes sense to trade it in for a newer option so that you can continue to enjoy some of the best features available. Choosing to trade your lease in is easy, as you're able to return your current model to our dealership and begin shopping for a newer model. This is especially great for those who take proper care of their leased vehicle, with minimal wear and tear and no mileage overages, because these have the potential to result in added fees.

The next option you have is to keep your current vehicle, which is the perfect choice for those who are satisfied with it and want to enjoy it for years. In this scenario, you'll work with our finance team to help you find a plan to pay off your vehicle so that you're able to enjoy it mile after mile. You won't be responsible for any inspections or wear and tear, and once you pay off the vehicle, it officially becomes yours, which is a big draw to this choice. Keep in mind that you'll be responsible for any repairs and ongoing maintenance the vehicle may need, which may become more common as the vehicle ages. Also, many of the features in your vehicle have the potential to be superseded by better options, which will make your vehicle outdated, but for some, this isn't a cause for concern.

The final option is choosing to turn in your lease and walk away, and although this isn't the most popular option, it does occur. It's important to know that upon choosing this lease-end option, you will be responsible for any wear and tear, damage, and mileage overages, which can result in unwanted fees. The important takeaway from all of this is to choose based on your needs. If you enjoy having a brand new car every few months, trading it in may be right for you; however, if you love your current model, keeping it and officially making it yours is an option. And if you want to begin your car search again, you're also able to turn your car in and move on.

Deciding this early on, about a year prior to turning in your lease, is advised, as you'll be able to take any steps necessary, depending on the condition of your vehicle. If you're choosing to trade it in or turn it in, you'll need to address any repair concerns either through our service center or your own mechanic. You'll also want to schedule an inspection of the vehicle prior to your lease end date to make sure everything is in working order, as well as handle any issues that may need to be fixed. And of course, doing your research and finding your next perfect vehicle is highly recommended so that you have a plan when it's time to turn in your lease.

Lease Your New Chevy with McCluskey Chevrolet

Leasing a new car has a ton of great benefits, especially for drivers who opt for a more affordable Chevrolet model, and not a premium brand vehicle. At McCluskey Chevrolet, we offer great leasing incentives that drivers are happy with. If you have been on the fence about leasing or buying your next new Chevrolet, be sure to come down to McCluskey Chevrolet and speak with our experts prior to making any final decisions.

Leasing a vehicle means that you are always behind the wheel of the latest and greatest from the Chevrolet lineup, for much less money than if you were to finance the same car or buy it outright. While there are a few minor disadvantages to leasing, these only become an issue for certain types of drivers. If you plan to keep your vehicle for longer than five years, or drive it more than 15,000 miles each year, then a lease is likely not your best option. Leases are designed for drivers who mainly stay local, and who desire to drive newer cars, not for people who practice the opposite approach to car ownership. While there is no right or wrong answer when it comes to acquiring a new Chevrolet, it is important to understand your personal preferences and driving habits when making your final decision.

Whether you have made your decision, or need the advice of experts, we welcome you to visit us in our showroom here in Cincinnati. Our finance team will be happy to meet with you and help you better understand leasing versus buying, and which one might be the better fit for your unique situation and lifestyle. The bottom line is that the team at McCluskey Chevrolet is always here to help.
