CAN YOU TAKE OVER A CAR LEASE?

If you're interested in the idea of leasing a vehicle but don't want to commit to a full-term lease, then a lease takeover could be a great option for you! A car lease takeover is when you take on the remainder of another driver's lease. However, while this could be a good temporary option if you're just looking for a car to drive around Cabot, there are some things that you should consider before you decide to do a lease takeover. Learn the basics of taking over a lease and learn more about available car lease takeover deals on used SUVs with the finance team at Gwatney Chevrolet Company.

How Does a Car Lease Takeover Work?

A lease takeover is very similar to leasing a new car in the sense that you're not buying the vehicle outright. Instead, you're paying to drive the vehicle for a certain amount of time or miles. Usually, you're restricted to about 1,000 miles a month, or 12,000 miles a year, but this depends on how much the previous driver drove the vehicle before you. You may be wondering how the monthly lease payments work: it's simple, they are determined by the estimated depreciation of the vehicle at the end of the lease term plus the interest rates. Just like with a regular lease, you can return the vehicle to your local Sherwood dealership at the end of the lease term or buy the vehicle outright.

Car Lease Takeover Pros & Cons

Like with any option in the car buying and leasing process, there are good things and bad things to taking over a car lease. To make the decision easier for you, here are the pros and cons of taking over a lease:

Pros: 

  • No new-car upfront depreciation and other costs
  • Likely still under warranty
  • Possible cash incentives from the original lease
  • No down payment

Cons: 

  • You inherit the monthly payment as it is
  • Mileage restrictions
  • Possible wear and tear from the previous owner
  • Transfer fees

If you're looking for something that isn't permanent for your Little Rock commutes and weekend travels, then a car lease takeover could be perfect for you! However, just because you don't pay initial costs upfront, you might end up paying other fees later on during the lease.
