How Leasing Works


Leasing is an excellent option for anyone who wants to avoid the ownership responsibilities and long-term commitment of financing the purchase of a vehicle. The process of starting a new lease is very similar to the finance application, except there are more options to build a deal that fits your needs. You can choose everything from the length of the lease, which can easily be as short as 24 months, to optional protection packages, flexible mileage limits, and accessories or other customizations. At the end of the lease, you don't have to worry about trade-in value or selling your vehicle. Even if you ultimately decide to purchase the leased vehicle, the amount of the purchase is already pre-negotiated in the original lease agreement, ensuring a haggle-free process that allows you to easily transition to ownership for much less than the typical financing agreement.

End-of-Lease Options

You can do more than simply return the vehicle at the end of the lease. There are many flexible options, including trading for something new, extending the lease, or purchasing the leased vehicle. Need more time in your leased vehicle or want to know more about what you can do? Contact our lease return specialists for more information. We recommend reaching out a few weeks before the end of the lease to schedule a return appointment or arrange for other options.

Benefits of Leasing a Used Vehicle at Bonneville and Son Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram

Leasing a used vehicle is an economical option if your goal is to pay the least amount possible for your next vehicle. However, there are other great benefits, including the following:

Lower Monthly Payments

Leasing a new vehicle typically offers lower monthly payments on average than financing. Since the monthly payment on a lease is based off of the vehicle's sale value, a used vehicle can dramatically reduce your expected monthly payment.

Flexible Terms

Leasing offers flexible terms and you can negotiate other items like mileage and add-on packages to build a deal that meets your needs without making you pay extra for things you don't need.

Easy Buy Out Option

At the end of the lease, you can choose to purchase or buy out your vehicle. If you love your leased vehicle and want to keep it indefinitely, the buyout terms are already negotiated in the lease agreement. The buyout price is based on the value at the start of the lease minus depreciation during your lease term. You'll find that purchasing a used vehicle after leasing it gives you the option to enjoy a lower price or walk away. We offer excellent used financing rates or you can use your own lender to purchase the leased vehicle.

Lower Insurance Rates

Used vehicles are typically cheaper to insure than new vehicles, which can save you hundreds of dollars over the lease term and reduce the overall costs of driving.

Applying for a Lease at Bonneville and Son Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram

The lease application process is very similar to the finance application. We'll need basic information for the applicant and co-applicant as well as the following requirements:

  • Applicants are typically required to have good credit or payment history
  • Choose the terms that work best for your needs
  • Calculate your average annual mileage to ensure enough to cover each year under the lease
  • Select add-on options such as maintenance plans, protection plans, and customizations or accessories
