This financing arrangement allows individuals to acquire a new vehicle with minimal upfront expenses. Typically, it covers most, if not all, initial costs such as the down payment, first months payment, security deposit, and often acquisition fees. For example, a customer might obtain a new car without needing to pay anything at the dealership beyond applicable taxes and registration fees.
The appeal lies in the accessibility this offers to potential lessees. It can be particularly beneficial for those who prefer predictable monthly payments and who may not have significant savings readily available. Historically, such arrangements have evolved as a competitive tool for dealerships to attract a broader range of customers and move inventory efficiently, while also simplifying the leasing process.
