Compact SUVs Lease

Compact SUVs are a great way to discover if SUVs are right for you. The benefits of a smaller SUV are better gas mileage, increased safety than a car, better views of the road, and increased passenger room. Consider these car makes if a smaller SUV is your next choice: Toyota Rav4, Jeep Compass, Ford Escape

Small to Mid-Size Lease

The benefits of a Small to Mid-Size (Crossover) SUV are increased passenger space, good fuel economy, and more cargo space. The Toyota Highlander, Ford Edge, and Jeep Wrangler are great hybrid size autos between small and mid-size SUVs. These crossover SUVs give the feel of a larger SUV with gas consumption of a smaller auto.

Mid-Size SUVs Lease

Mid-size SUVs are great for anyone wanting more cargo space and on the fence about needing a 3rd row. The Toyota 4Runner, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Ford Explorer are great options to enjoy off-roading in the outdoors or everyday use. These vehicles are well equipped and offer many variations to suit your life needs.

Large SUVs Lease

Large SUVs have the needs of everything you cannot get in a sedan. Benefits of large SUVs are increased seating capacity, large storage area for sports, equipment, or luggage, increased horsepower and towing. Consider the Chevrolet Tahoe and Ford Expedition for your next auto lease.

Luxury SUVs Lease

Luxury SUVs provide increased comfort, technology and features that give your auto that extra value. Ask about the brand benefits with these models: BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE, and Audi Q7.

Why Lease a Car at D&M?

chris on September 30, 2019

When it comes to acquiring a new vehicle, leasing has become a more popular alternative to buying a car. We’ve come up with our top 3 reasons why you should lease a car with D&M Auto Leasing.

Lower Monthly Payments

Buying a new car is typically more expensive than leasing a new car, especially if you like to trade a car in every 3 to 5 years. Low monthly payments to purchase a new car generally require a large down payment and the length of the loan can be much longer than the time you plan to keep the vehicle before trading. Some retail contracts go out to six, seven, even eight years!

Surprisingly, the interest rate is the most significant factor in how much you will have to pay because it’s added onto each monthly payment over the life of the loan. The longer the loan, the more the interest. With the EZ Lease, our user-friendly car lease, a down payment is not required, and we offer the lowest rates of any company on a standard consumer lease. With lower payments you can afford a shorter term that more closely matches your needs.

Always Driving the Latest Car

If you always lease a new vehicle at the end of your lease, you will always be driving a car with the most up-to-date technology and features. Check out the latest car leases that we offer at D&M. Nearly 70% of our business is from repeat and referred clients taking advantage of these benefits.

Fewer Repair Expenses

If you’re covered by a warranty or have GAP insurance during your lease term, you don’t have to worry about paying for any large, unexpected repair bills. Also, if you find yourself in a car wreck or your car gets stolen, GAP insurance pays the difference between the insurance settlement and the contractual payoff. When you lease with D&M Auto Leasing, our EZ lease includes GAP Insurance at no extra cost. We even offer coverage if your vehicle is in a wreck and is not totaled. This Diminished Future Value coverage can saved you thousands at trade time. Ask for details.

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.

If you’re interested in getting a used car lease at D&M Auto Leasing and saving some time and money, fill out our online quote form today.

If you’re the type of person that prefers to drive alone, then don’t lease this car. I repeat, do not lease this car. The 4runner is designed to fit up to 7 people, which means it has the perfect amount of space for your kids, family, and friends that it’ll end up being the go-to car for any group outing. And with heated and ventilated front seats, don’t be surprised if your friends are always calling and asking you for a ride.

Extra Set of Eyes

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!
