A car’s mileage affects its resale value. If you drive more miles than the average American driver (12,000 per year) a lease may not make sense. Leases most often come with a limit of 10,000-15,000 miles per year and a fee per mile for additional miles driven.

If you are driving your vehicle for business a portion of the car’s depreciation and lease payments can be deducted from your taxes. If you want to learn more about the business vehicle tax deduction, check with your tax adviser.

You have four options when your lease term is ending:

  1. You can lease a new Hyundai
  2. Purchase a new Hyundai
  3. Purchase your currently leased Hyundai
  4. Walkaway hassle-free after your inspection
  1. Scheduling your inspection.
  2. Review and make possible repairs.
  3. Make an appointment at a dealer.
  4. Complete a federal odometer/lease termination statement.
  5. Pay any lease liability fees/charges.
  6. Pay any additional charges.

Leasing offers a lower monthly payment when compared to financing with the same loan terms. Instead of putting your cash into a car that depreciates, you can invest your money into something that appreciates. If you need access to more cash every month – leasing is a good choice. Car leases also do not usually require a substantial down payment.

When you lease a car you pay less for sales tax. When you purchase a car you pay sales tax on the total amount upfront or rolled into your loan. When you lease you pay sales tax only on the portion of the car you finance.

With a 3 year lease, your vehicle is under warranty and the factory will cover the cost of most repairs. Not to mention that a brand new car is unlikely to have dead batteries, or need costly repairs.

You will need to pay your state’s licensing fees, and you still need to purchase car insurance to cover theft and damage. GAP (Guaranteed Auto Protection) insurance is available with most leases to protect you if the car is totaled.

  • When you choose to buy and finance your new car, your loan term is usually 24 to 72 months.
  • If you choose to lease a new Hyundai, your lease is usually 24 to 48 months.
  • When you buy, you will receive your title, lien release, or a letter from us indicating your lien has been released electronically after your final payment has been processed.
  • After your lease is done, you may purchase your lease vehicle or return it to your Hyundai dealership, at which point you may choose to purchase or lease a new Hyundai.
