What is a Short-Term Lease?
Whether to lease or buy is one of the most important questions for a car shopper. If you decide to lease, there are different options to think about - one of which is a short-term Chevy lease. This is a concept that some Gillman Chevrolet Harlingen customers might be unfamiliar with, so we'll cover the ins and outs here.
Why Should You Lease a Car?
If you don't want to be tied to the same car for several years, you'll probably like the idea of leasing. Also, from a cost standpoint, leasing a car from a Harlingen, TX Chevy dealer can be more affordable than purchasing, especially in the short term. That's because with a lease, you only "own" the vehicle for a finite period of time - which means you're only paying for a portion of the car's total value. This in turn means that your down payment and monthly payments will be lower with a lease than a purchase.
What is a Short-Term Lease?
Whereas the average standard car lease spans 3 - 4 years, the typical short-term car lease ranges from 1 - 24 months. This added flexibility makes a short-term lease ideal for people who want to drive a new Chevy truck without making a long-term commitment.
A short-term lease also means lower upfront costs and the ability to upgrade or switch vehicles more frequently. So if you're the kind of driver for whom "variety is the spice of life", you'll probably love the idea of a short-term lease. This type of lease is also ideal for people with a temporary job assignment in a different city, those engaged in seasonal work, and also for folks simply wanting to demo a few different vehicles before making a purchase.
Short-term leases function similarly to long-term leases in that they require monthly payments and adherence to mileage limits. Also the monthly payment amount is usually higher, due to the shorter repayment period. Other variables such as maintenance and insurance can be negotiated depending on your credit score, the type of car you want, and the length of the loan.
