Why Should You Negotiate Your Car Lease?

In the United States, there aren't many situations that allow you to negotiate prices. When you're checking out at the grocery store or paying your utility bills, you don't have much wiggle room to negotiate the bottom line. The same is not true when it comes to automobiles, whether you're looking to buy or lease. Often, you're able to get a much better deal just by pushing back and/or questioning the associated costs.

Major Issue to Negotiate

If you've never leased a car before, you may not be aware just how much wiggle room you have. While there are certain costs that can't be negotiated (such as taxes and some specific fees), other values are open to questions and scrutiny on your end.

There are many things you can haggle over with a lease. The biggest one is the vehicle's capitalized cost, or price. Just like when you're buying a car, you should be prepared to negotiate the cost of the vehicle.

Doing your research so that you can negotiate the price of the vehicle itself is key.

Other Issues to Negotiate

Other factors that can be negotiated when leasing a car include the following:

  1. Interest rates
  2. Mileage caps
  3. Advertising fees
  4. Documentation fees
  5. "Shipping" and/or "shipping and handling" fees

When you're not sure what the terms mean or why you're being charged for certain items and services, it's hard to feel confident during negotiations. More stressful still, depending on your personality type, any type of confrontation at all might make you decide you'd much rather walk or ride a bicycle everywhere for the rest of your life than go through with a car lease negotiation.

Fortunately, it doesn't have to be this hard. With DoNotPay, there is another way.

How Can I Prepare for Negotiating a Car Lease?

When you are preparing to negotiate for a car lease negotiation session, there are several factors you will want to have a handle on.

The current market price/value of the car you want to lease.This way, you know if the price you're being quoted falls over or under the going rates.
What the current rates are at other dealerships in the area.This knowledge allows you leverage to angle for lower charges. Otherwise, you can say you're happy to take your business elsewhere.
What information you need to negotiate for the best deal.As mentioned above, the most important information you'll need is the capitalized cost of the vehicle itself.

You can use Google, ask around to gather information from knowledgeable friends and family members, and actually do a day or two of in-person comparison shopping, making phone calls or showing up in person to see what information you're able to glean without putting the pressure on yourself to reach a deal or sign on the dotted line that specific day.

You might also think about these options for .

  • Increasing your credit score will help you qualify for better loan conditions if you need to completely finance your automobile purchase.
  • Obtaining a co-signer may also enable you to purchase a vehicle with no down payment.
  • Always shop around to several dealers and lenders; the more you know about vehicle loan rates and terms, the better bargain you'll be able to get.
  • Even a tiny down payment is preferable to none, so put off buying a car until you can save up some money.

Of course, all of this is very time-consuming. But rest assured: there's an easier and more efficient way.
