Exploring The Possibilities Of Car Leasing

More individuals as well as small business operators and professionals are exploring the possibilities of car leasing on a yearly basis as opposed to owning a car. Recent depressions in the car business have encouraged more dealers to experiment in the field, and in many areas advantageous prices have already been offered to individuals. There are angles that are often overlooked.

In the first place, if you use a car only occasionally, whether for business or personal reasons, it would probably be cheapest for you to rent it on a daily or weekly basis when you need it. However, in our go-go world that is not happening. Short-term rental fees can be very attractive indeed when you consider all the investment you do not have to make buying, keeping, maintaining, and insuring the car when you’re not using it.

When weighing a yearly lease, however, an opposite view must be taken. The more you use a oar, the more mileage you put on it each year, the better the leasing deal could be for you. That’s because there are certain fixed charges which you pay as a base while you add so much a mile.

You can figure that the average small-medium car, run about 15,000 miles a year, will cost you about $1,000 a year to keep up, plus gas and oil, unless it’s a lemon. If it is a lemon the advantage is all on the side of leasing. If you lease a lemon you can have the superb satisfaction of taking it back and getting another car without question. As a matter of fact the good lessor is anxious to keep your car in top condition for you.

If you drive a car with some faults in it you’re likely to break down and need expensive repairs. So dealers see to it that you’re always in the best running order. Which is a second advantage of leasing over owning-no shady repair bills from doubtful mechanics for doubtful repairs. If the car doesn’t run perfectly you just take it back and get it fixed on the house. Sometimes easier said than done.

The trouble with all this is that if you go right out and try to lease one car for one year you may find that the price in your area is too high, that is it is higher per month than the total of payments on a car you buy, plus maintenance, plus insurance. Here are two points, though, that you must not overlook:

1) The carrying charges on your car installments. Make sure you really know how much they come to.

2) If you normally buy for all cash, consider the USE of the money.

If you operate a business you might want to use that couple of thousand dollars used for down payment some other way instead of tying it up in a car. If you run your personal life like a business (and you should), by investing your spare money so that it earns the most possible, you must make a similar calculation.

What do you need to get a first time car loan WITH a cosigner?

Hi! I am wanting to buy my first car. I’m 18 years old and the car I want is about $15,000. I just got a job (I have had other jobs before but not for the past 2 months) but I don’t start for another 3 weeks. I will be earning about $600 a month. I have NO other bills to pay, and my parents will be giving me the money for insurance and HALF of the car payment, so paying it will be no problem.

I need to apply for a loan, and I WILL have a cosigner with excellent credit (my dad). I know it varies from place to place, but in general, will I need to have worked at my job for a certain amount of time before I can get a loan? Also, can I put down what my parents give me as additional income when applying for loans? THANKS so much!

How do I get a used car loan wihout any credit history?

I have applied on a variety of online websites for a used car loan. They will deny me as I have no credit history. I tried CapitalOne and eLoan as well. My income is about $1400 monthly. I want a 10k loan to buy a used RSX from someone. I even tried getting the same car from a dealer but the guy told me to apply at CapitalOne which as I already said denied it. I don’t have anyone I could use as a co-signer either. Any ideas how I can get the loan for this car without having to wait for better credit history?

How would a CAR LOAN affect my HOME LOAN later?

My wife and I have no loans on cars and no apartment (owned) yet. We want to buy a new car and finance it. How would that affect our home loans (in, say, 6 months)? Do the banks prefer you to have as little debt as possible, or would the car loan be good for our credit because we will be paying the financing on a regular basis for the next half year? We both have great credit ratings.

Appreciate any advice.
