Three Things to Avoid While Leasing

After securing their own Woodhouse lease, drivers may be tempted to go a bit overboard with excitement. While securing a vehicle lease is absolutely something to celebrate, there are some things drivers will want to avoid for the duration of their lease. To help drivers stay out of trouble, here are three things you absolutely want to stay away from.

Skipping Maintenance Visits

Over the course of your lease, it is still the driver’s responsibility to maintain their vehicle. In many leases, there is a clause that states that the responsibility of maintenance is on the driver, not the lender. 

This is very important, as failure to take care of your vehicle can leave you on the hook for any repairs the vehicle requires when you return it, so be sure to schedule your service visit today! 

Go Over Mileage Limit

Because a vehicle’s mileage is a large determining factor in its overall value, leases like to be very specific about the amount of mileage a lessor can get out of their vehicle. 

A high-mileage leased vehicle can have a much lower car value if drivers overshoot their usage, making them liable to cover the difference to the lender. Depending on far a driver travels, the return fees can range from inconvenient to incomprehensible.

Sign A Long Lease

Signing a long-term lease may sound like a good deal to some drivers but doing so can put you at risk of paying out of pocket for vehicle repairs. Most vehicles’ manufacturer warranties only last for three years or so, meaning coverage ends for drivers with a longer lease. 

Because of this, it is advisable to either sign a lease that is no longer than the warranty period or purchase an extended warranty for your vehicle.
