Financing

 Thinking about Leasing?


>>What is GMAC SmartLease?

GMAC SmartLease is a financing option in which you pay for the portion of the vehicle's value (depreciation) you expect to use over a period of time, plus a rent charge, taxes and fees.

>>Advantages of Leasing

A low monthly payment - Because you are paying for the value of the vehicle you expect to use during your lease, plus a rent charge, taxes and fees, rather than the total value of the vehicle, leasing payments are typically lower than traditional financing payments.

More vehicle for your money - Leasing makes driving a more expensive vehicle more affordable.

To drive a new vehicle more often - Leasing typically has a shorter term than if you purchase for a similar monthly payment, allowing you to drive a new vehicle more often.

To drive a vehicle during its most trouble-free years - Most lease terms fall within the manufacturer's warranty. However, you are responsible for maintenance. SmartCare offers a maintenance plan that provides for routine maintenance coverage.

To avoid trade-in obligations - With GMAC SmartLease, you can take the Smart Road and lease another vehicle (provided you qualify), buy the vehicle, or return it at the end of the lease term and walk away (provided you have met all the obligations of your lease).

Assurance - With a GMAC SmartLease, Gap Protection provides assurance in the event of a total loss of the vehicle.

Possible tax advantages - If you use your vehicle primarily for business, leasing can provide tax deductions. See your tax advisor for details or call 1-800-32-SMART for a free brochure on how to drive down business expenses.

Convenience - SmartLease by GMAC can be arranged right at your GM dealer/retailer. In fact, qualified customers can be approved in under an hour. That's because GMAC believes you should be out enjoying your new vehicle instead of waiting for it to be leased or financed.

SmartLease: SmartLease is the standard leasing option available through GMAC. You have monthly payments to pay for the portion of the vehicle's value.

Low Mileage Lease: GMAC also offers a Low Mileage lease. A Low Mileage lease offers an allowance of 12,000 miles per year. As a result of the expected lower usage, your lease payments are lower.

Tip!

Loan payments contribute to the eventual ownership of a vehicle, while lease payments apply only to the short-term use of a car.

Tip!

Owning a lease vehicle is possible if purchased outright after the lease period ends.

A typical lease period runs between 24 and 48 months.

Tip!

Three important factors - adjusted capitalized cost, residual value and the money factor - determine the monthly rate of a lease.

Tip!

Closed-end leases set a fixed residual buy price at the beginning of the term, while open-end deals base the final buy price on a vehicle's actual market value at the end of a lease.

Tip!

Pay more money down initially to reduce monthly loan payments. Otherwise, a typical down payment ranges between 10 to 20 percent of the total cost.

Tip!

Many used vehicles require down payments of at least 20 percent and include interest rates between 9 to 10 percent.

Tip!

Lease agreements usually limit mileage from 12,000 to 15,000 miles annually. Beyond these figures, fees in the range of $0.10 to $0.25 per mile begin to accumulate.

If you plan on customizing your vehicle, you need to finance with a loan. Leased vehicles must be returned under factory specification.
