You’ve come to the end of your contract and you like you car enough you want
to keep it in the driveway. Just like buying a used automobile, there is some
research to be done to nail a good deal.
First, you have to to know the cost of buying out your contract. Read the fine
print of your contract and look for the “purchase option price”. This
price is set by the contracting company and usually comprises the residual
assessment of the means of transportation at the end of the agreement plus a purchase-option fee
ranging from 0 to 0. When you signed on the dotted line, your
monthly payments were calculated as the difference between the car’s
sticker price and its estimated value at the end of the lease, plus a
monthly financing fee. This estimated price of the vehicle value at the end
of the agreement is what is termed in leasing jargon “residual assessment”. It is
the expected depreciation – or loss in value – of the car over the
scheduled-contract period. For example, a car with a sticker price of
,000 and a 50% residual percentage will have an estimated ,000
price at contract end.
Now that you know the cost of getting out your agreement, you have to to determine
the actual worth, also termed “market significance”, of your automobile. So, how
much does your vehicle retail for in the market? To pin down a good, solid
estimate you require to do some pricing research. Check the price of the
vehicle, with similar mileage and condition, with different dealers. Use
online pricing websites, such as cars.com, Edmunds.com and Kelly Blue Book
for detailed pricing information. Gleaning pricing information from various
sources should give you a fair estimate of your car’s retail value.
All you have to do now is compare the two amounts. If the residual value is
lower than the actual retail significance, than you’re into a winner.
Unfortunately, there is a good chance a motor vehicle coming off a contract is a little
on the high side.
Don’t despair though. leasing companies know as much that residual values
on their vehicles are greater than their market significance and as such are
always on the look out for offers. You can knock down on the price of your
contractd vehicle with some smooth negotiating tactics. Put forward a price
that is below your actual target and negotiate hard until you wind up near
that figure.
