Leasing

What is a lease?

It is a method of auto financing where you can choose between (a) a contract with or without residual value for a term of 12 to 60 months, or (b) a contract without residual value for a term between 12 and 72 months. You also have the options to add a residual which will lower your monthly payment and not make a down payment. For the duration of the contract, you are responsible for all the monthly payments.

You are responsible for the value of the contract during its duration and for the residual value once it ends. The residual value allows you to get the monthly payment that adjusts to your budget.

• Step down - A vehicle leasing agreement which provides for specified decreases in monthly payments for up to 60 months. During the first year you will have a higher payment, which will decrease every 12 months.
• Buy back - Popular Auto purchases a new or used unit from its owner, at market value, and leases it to a third party.
• Sale & lease back – It’s a transaction through which Popular Auto purchases a vehicle or fleet and leases it back to the seller.
