how to lease a car

Do you know how to lease a car?

It can be a daunting idea if you're not familiar with the process or don't understand how a lease works. Toyota of N Charlotte is here to help you get more comfortable with the idea and understand the process behind getting you into the driver's seat. Here are the five steps you should take when leasing a new Toyota!

5 steps to signing your new Toyota lease

Step 1: Figure out your best options.

Which car is going to be your best bet when it comes to your drive time? Sure, a lease isn’t forever. Most leases are 36 months and then you can turn in your current car and take home a new one. However, 36 months can feel like a long time if you choose the wrong Toyota lease. Make a list of all the features and capabilities you need in a car (like space, performance, fuel efficiency, technology, and safety) and use that list to narrow down the selection and find the right car.

Step 2: Explore leasing specials and deals.

Get the most bang for your buck and check out Toyota lease deals on the table. We regularly offer a variety of specials here at Toyota of N Charlotte; see which ones best fit your drive time needs and your budget.

Step 3: Take a test drive in the car.

The best way to figure out if a car is the right ride for you is to take a test drive in it. Make sure it has all the qualities you need, as well as the comfort and ergonomic appeal you want in your daily drive. After all, you're going to be driving it for the next 36 months or so!

Step 4: Work the numbers.

Once you’ve taken a test drive and made sure your possible new ride has all the qualities you want, it’s time to fiddle with the financials. How much money are you willing to put down on a lease? What finance rate can you work with? Sit down with one of our N Charlotte Toyota sales specialists – they’ll work the numbers to get you what you need when it comes to integrating a new Toyota lease into your budget.

Step 5: Educate yourself on the specifics.

Now that you're figured out financially, it's time to sign the dotted line. However, before you give the dealership your John Hancock, make sure you understand the contract your about to sign. Be sure to ask the sales specialist you're working with about details like mileage, condition of the car, your lease term, maintenance requirements, and your monthly payments so you're clear on what's expected on your end.
