What Is a Car Lease?

When you lease a car, you're essentially paying to use it for a set period of time — typically 24 to 36 months — rather than buying it outright. At the end of the lease term, you return the vehicle, and you can choose to lease a new model, purchase the car at its residual value, or simply walk away. It's a flexible arrangement that appeals to drivers who love having access to the latest models, technology, and safety features.

How Does the Payment Work?

Your monthly lease payment is calculated based on a few key factors. The first is the capitalized cost — essentially the negotiated price of the vehicle. The second is the residual value, which is the projected worth of the car at the end of the lease. The difference between those two numbers, spread across your lease term, forms the basis of your payment. You'll also factor in the money factor, which functions similarly to an interest rate, and any applicable taxes and fees. Because you're only paying for the depreciation that occurs during your lease term rather than the full value of the vehicle, monthly lease payments are typically lower than loan payments for the same car.

What to Consider Before You Sign

Before leasing, there are a few important things to think about. Most leases come with an annual mileage cap, commonly 10,000 to 15,000 miles. If you exceed that limit, you'll pay a per-mile overage fee at the end of the term. Consider your I-35 commute and other traveling needs when selecting a mileage allowance. Additionally, while normal wear is expected, excessive damage can result in fees when you return the vehicle. Keeping the car in good condition protects your wallet. Putting money down upfront also lowers your expenses, so reach out to our Finance Department to determine whether an initial down payment is a good choice for you.
