Can you Return a Leased Car Early?

chris on August 1, 2019

Experiencing an unexpected lifestyle change or just looking for a vehicle upgrade? At D&M Leasing we understand there are many circumstances why you may need to return a leased car early.

We are all about making things easy for our car leasing customers. That is why one of the benefits of our D&M EZ Lease is no termination penalties. That’s right, if you decide to opt out of your lease, you never pay early termination penalties. And of course your D&M Lease representative is always there to help guide you through the process.

Prepare your Vehicle

First step to returning a leased car is preparing your vehicle. Your car should be clean and well-maintained. We encourage you to wash and detail and check the tires for obvious wear and tear before returning your leased car. You should also check your lease contract for minimal acceptable condition of your vehicle. Your agent can help arrange a pre-inspection so you know exactly what to expect.

Return your Vehicle to D&M

Without the burden of substantial penalties and fees usually associated with early termination you are free to return your leased vehicle back to D&M. We are happy to arrange transport and will provide the basic forms needed. At D&M you have the option of either returning your vehicle or trading in your vehicle for another vehicle lease, depending on your contract. Nearly seventy percent of our business at D&M is from repeat and referred clients. Flexibility and early options are our specialty!

Purchase your Vehicle Lease

With the flexibility of returning your car lease to D&M without any fees, you also have the option to buy out or payoff your current lease. Most of our clients lease again, but you can purchase your vehicle outright at any point during the lease.

Customer-Centric Experience

There’s a reason why we have several thousand satisfied D&M Auto Leasing customers; we offer you easy and flexible options to match your lifestyle. If you still have questions about returning your leased car early, one of our friendly, local D&M representatives will be more than happy to help you.

Can You Lease a Used Car?

chris on July 18, 2019

If you haven’t heard of used car leasing, don’t worry, you’re not alone. Not all dealerships offer them, and used car leasing is not widely advertised either, so you usually have to do some digging to find the right one for you. However, at D&M Auto Leasing, we are all about making things easy and saving our customers money. If you’d like to know more about the benefits of used car leasing and why you should lease with D&M, keep reading.

More Affordable

Many car shoppers in the market for a used car are trying to get a better deal because new car lease prices are so high. A new vehicle loses as much as 25% of its value in the first year alone, so when you lease a used car, you avoid the initial hit on depreciation. With that being said, you can expect lower monthly payment and less money due at signing when you lease a used car.

Easy Leasing with D&M

Many dealerships try to stay away from telling their customers about used car leasing because they want to make more money, so you end up having to do all the work and research yourself. That’s not the case at D&M Auto Leasing. D&M provides a user-friendly lease that offers better rates, more flexibility, and exceptional service, called EZ Lease. You begin by filling out the online quote form, and one of our representatives will get back to you and help you find exactly what you’re looking for, right down to the make and model. We can even deliver your used car lease right to you to save you even more time.

At D&M Auto Leasing, we’ll make sure that you receive the best trade in value for your vehicle. Here are 3 reasons why you’ll be getting more money out of your trade in vehicle at D&M rather than our leading competitors.

D&M Leasing has qualified EZ Leases that let you trade in your current vehicle and get rid of the negative equity once and for all at the lowest possible payment over the shortest possible time.

Why Lease a Vehicle for Business?

chris on April 3, 2019

More and more business owners are asking whether they should buy or lease the vehicles they need. Business and consumer leasing vary greatly. You’ll need all the right facts. We’ve put together a list of reasons why you should lease your next commercial lease vehicle with us.

Customizable Lease

  • When you lease a vehicle for your business at D&M we listen and structure a leasing program that works for your key business needs. Whether executive vehicles, work trucks, service vehicles or heavy duty, you conserve working capital by spreading lease payments over the useful life of the asset. All business leases at D&M are individually and professionally managed to your needs with quarterly reviews to assess the effectiveness of the overall plan.

Latest Technology

  • One of the best perks of getting a commercial lease at D&M is the ability to upgrade your vehicles more frequently. Keeping up with the latest technology, fuel efficiency, and safety features may seem like a luxury. We find that businesses save money and increase employee morale, productivity, and safety with a more cost-effective leasing solution.

Tax Advantages

  • At D&M, you are able to pay for the lease with pre-tax dollars rather than after-tax profits to save you money. Also, you can deduct not only your payments but also your business driving costs if your lease vehicles are driven 50% or more for business purposes.

Flexibility

  • Businesses need to be flexible. Leasing allows businesses to only pay for a vehicle’s serviceable life. Replacing them before maintenance costs or heavy depreciation eat up working capital is called Optimum Replacement Cycling. This is the secret to saving money through leasing. As new needs arise lease lines are extended to accommodate greater needs. All leases are managed according to the lowest Total Cost of Ownership, (TCO), principal.

 Increase Company Value

  • Leasing is an operating expense and as such does not appear as a liability on your finical statement. Leasing for business carries obvious benefits to the balance sheet for future needs or opportunities.

 

On top that, Our D&M representatives work directly with our clients to guide them through our process with ease and efficiency. We will analyze your current fleet with no obligation and make helpful recommendations. From there you choose the program that makes most sense for your needs.

FAQ About The Car Leasing Process

chris on March 26, 2019

When shopping for a new car lease, it’s completely normal to get lost in the auto leasing process. If you are feeling overwhelmed by how an auto lease works, D&M is here to make sure your leasing process is simple and easy. If you’re seeking out the answers to our most frequently asked questions, continue reading to help you go into your next auto lease with confidence!

How does an auto lease work?

When leasing a car, consumers sign a contract with the set amount of time they would prefer their lease to be. Leasing an auto mobile allows you to drive a vehicle for a fixed number of miles and months. When leasing a car, there isn’t a long-term commitment involved. Typically, leasing a car has a lower monthly cost than what you’d pay if you decided to buy a car.

Is it easier to lease or buy a car?

At D&M, we make sure to make your leasing process simple and easy. We offer the EZ Lease which is an exclusive, customizable, and user-friendly experience for our customers. The EZ lease provides our customers better rates and more flexibility than the leading competitors’ leases. An EZ Lease, customized to your particular needs and driving profile, is professionally managed by D&M.

What does MSRP mean?

MSRP stands for, Manufacturer’s suggested retail price. This is the suggested price recommended by the manufacturer for the sale of an item in all retail outlets. Typically, cars do not actually sell for the price that is originally displayed by the auto mobile company. When speaking about the MSRP of a vehicle, this transitions to the negotiation phase of the purchasing or leasing your vehicle.

What is residual value and why is it important?

The residual value of a leased car is what the car is expected to be worth at the end of your lease. If you’re interested in leasing an auto mobile for a short amount of time, vehicles that have a high residual value are your best bet. When choosing your auto mobile, if it retains more of its value the depreciation amount will begin to decrease, ultimately lowering your monthly payments!

What does capitalized cost mean?

Capital cost refers to the amount that is being financed on a lease. This can include tax, title and license fees or sometimes negative equity from a traded vehicle is rolled in. The lower your capitalized cost is, the lower the monthly lease payment will be.

Can I Terminate my Lease Early?

Here at D&M, we do not penalize our customers if you decide to opt out of your lease. At D&M, our EZ Lease program includes flexibility that can make terminating your lease simple and easy.

Can I Have Two Car Leases under One Name?

Absolutely! With qualified credit, there are no restrictions on the number of cars a person can register under their name at any given time. You can get personal car leases for your family on new and used vehicles. D&M offers a Commercial Lease for access to a variety of fleet vehicles to meet your business needs.

How much will my down payment be?

At D&M if our customers qualify, they have the option of making no down payment with no payments for the first 60 days using our EZ Lease. We have the experience to custom fit whatever plan works best for you.

Our D&M representatives are known for their exceptionally friendly, local, professional service. Nearly seventy percent of our business comes from repeat or referred clients. Feel free to fill out our online quote form to get started on your auto-leasing journey today!
