How Does a Used Car Lease Work?
A used car lease works similarly to a new car lease:
You pay for the vehicle’s depreciation during the lease term.
The leasing company sets a residual value (projected value at lease end).
Your payment is based on:
Selling price (capitalized cost)
Residual value
Money factor (lease interest rate)
Lease term and mileage allowance
Residual values are typically set by the lender and are not negotiable, but the selling price and sometimes the money factor may be negotiable.
