Answers1. False. Leasing is complicated but there are several easy ways to control the transaction. And we're not talking Jedi powers here, either. Read on and the basic elements of leasing will be revealed in later questions.2. True. However, make sure you are comparing apples to apples. In other words, decide the terms of the lease: length (we recommend 36-month leases), number of miles and drive-off costs. Also, make sure the cars you are comparing are the same trim level with the same options. If all these things are the same, you can see where you will get the best deal.3. 2) Money factor (sometimes called "lease factor"). The money factor is written as a multiplier, not a percentage so 9 percent would be expressed as .00375. To convert the lease factor to a percentage multiply by 24; to convert the percentage to a money factor, divide by 24.4. False, false, false! Leases are as negotiable as a sales contract. In fact, a bad lease can cost you more than a bad purchase.5. 1) 36 months. One of the reasons to lease is so that you can change cars frequently. Also, if you lease for 36 months, you minimize your maintenance costs since the car will always be under warranty.6. True. One of the advantages of leasing is that you only pay tax on the portion of the car's value that you use. If you hate taxes, you'll love this aspect of leasing.7. 3) Debt-to-income ratio. If your car salesman starts talking about this, watch out! He's trying to leverage your house since debt-to-income ratio is used in the mortgage business but has nothing to do with leasing. The other terms ― cap cost (also called "capitalized cost"), residual value, money factor and gap insurance ― are all terms you might encounter when leasing. See our leasing glossary to learn more.8. False. The lease contract allows for "normal wear and tear" so minor damage should not cost you anything. However, it's a good idea to get your car washed and vacuumed before returning it at the end of the lease.9. 2) Close-ended. This means you can turn the car in at the end of the lease without making any further payments (although you might be held responsible for excess mileage and damage to the car). In an open-ended lease, you may be responsible for further costs.10. False. Your money has allowed you to drive a new car for less than it would have cost you to buy it. And even when you buy a car, you are usually "upside down" (meaning the car you purchased is worth less than you owe on it) for several years.
