When leasing a new RAM vehicle from Hunt Chrysler Center, one common question arises: “Do I need to make a down payment?” Hunt Chrysler Center of Franklin, KY explores this topic to better understand this part of the RAM lease process.
Do You Need a Down Payment?
Contrary to popular belief, a down payment is not a strict requirement when leasing a vehicle. Whether you choose to make one largely depends on your financial situation and personal preferences.
However, if you decide to make a down payment, it can help to lower your monthly payments throughout the lease term, making your RAM vehicle more affordable month-to-month.
The Benefits of a Down Payment
A down payment reduces the total cost you need to finance, effectively lowering your monthly payments. This can be particularly advantageous if you have a strict budget to adhere to each month.
Furthermore, a down payment might increase your chances of lease approval if your credit history isn’t strong. A down payment may help you avoid potential interest charges over the lease term.
Alternatives to a Down Payment
If making a down payment isn’t feasible or desirable, there are alternatives.
One option is to trade in your current vehicle. The value of your trade-in can be applied toward the lease, effectively serving as a down payment. Additionally, some special lease deals may require no down payment at all. Be sure to consult with our financial advisors at Hunt Chrysler Center to discuss your options.
