from financing to leasing?
« on: September 05, 2005, 11:00:04 pm »
It sounds like a dumb question, though. :surrend:
Is it possible to switch to leasing in the middle of financing?
Thank you.

There are leasing companies that will take you on but the interest rate and terms will be nasty.

Generally, payments on a lease are lower than those on financing...  talk to your dealer, though?  Maybe if they're nice they'll buy back the car and let you lease it, or something?

Not a prayer, there IMO. You can talk to the dealer, but don't be surprised if the answer is NO.

Not on used car leases. As ovr50 said, there's not a chance of this happening.
