    Putting a down payment on a lease is a bad idea. If you total the car on the way home, or at any time, insurance will cover the car. But the money you put down is gone forever.

    I leased a 2020 392 Charger, and traded it in at the beginning of last year. Because it was worth more than the buyout amount, I made the dealership use that difference as if I was making a down payment on my new car. I got into a car that was about 8k more expensive than my charger for $50 less a month than I was paying on my charger. It wont always work out like this, but you should always check the value of your current lease when you go to look at new cars, because you may be sitting on money.

    I only do 0 down for lease. Maybe I would pay the first month if needed but leasing is better then financing.
    It's okay to roll down payment +fees into the loan.
    I prefer to pay an extra $30 up to $100 monthly on original monthly payment that's include a down payment then given the dealership thousands upfront for down payment...
    Financing is more expensive and doesn't make sense for 3 reasons. Car get old, depreciation more over time which lead to an upside down loan.

    Most Dealership if your return your lease with them and get another one from the company or even a different company as long as you are paid with your last month no matter how many mileage you exceeded they will not allow you to pay for that, they will give you a new lease and they might also offer a sign and drive. Well thats if you are 700plus credit score.

    Like the video but disagree as far as luxury vehicle don’t lease well (depends on what someone considers luxury though). Residuals are usually artificially high on luxury vehicle and if they aren’t moving, they throw a lot of lease cash on it. Just leased a $70k suv with nothing due at signing (a true sign and drive) for $451 a month.

    03:30 You state that "you are not responsible for the maintenance" on a lease. Is this really true thou?
    You made is sound like it applies to leases across the board, but I'm pretty sure that you have to be super lucky for a dealer to offer you free maintenance with your lease.
    Standard manufacturer's warranty will obviously apply, but you still need to do oil changes, brake service etc. out of pocket.

    If the vehicle gets totaled, will the gap insurance cover the Loss of the Down Payment?

    • @RyanScribner
      @RyanScribner  Před 3 měsíci

      No unfortunately it only covers the difference between the amount owed and the Actual Cash Value - that is one risk to be aware of when leasing a vehicle with a down payment, but it comes with the benefit of having the lower monthly lease payment

    • @moltsy9055
      @moltsy9055 Před 2 měsíci

      ⁠@@RyanScribner saw someone make an interesting argument in another video in favor of the $0 down lease agreement.
      He said to just take the money you would’ve put down and instead place it into a high yield savings account - I guess depending on the state of the economy you could in theory earn more in interest with the HY savings account than what you would’ve saved in the monthly payments (did I say that right? 🤔).
      He claimed that the dealership uses your down payment to cover the gap insurance, when in reality it should be included in the agreement regardless of what you are or aren’t putting down 🤷🏻‍♂️ thoughts?

  • @CRP3252
    @CRP3252 Před 13 dny

    Yikes, it's well known that you should NEVER put money down on a lease to lower your payment. You'd never see any of the 5 - 6k money down that you recommended , in the event your car is stolen or totaled in an accident. It's a gift to the leasing company. You're better off shoving that 4500.00 down payment in a bank and withdrawing the difference on top 😢 the 213.00/month lease payment for the life of the term for the total of the 349.00.
    3 months into you lease term your car is declared a loss, you still have a lot of that money you stashed away for the payment🤦🏾‍♂️

  • @jomar5578

  • @JamesHerndon-kp7rl
    @JamesHerndon-kp7rl Před 13 dny

    Allow me to give mr. Scribner a lesson from a guy that sold leases for 20 years. YOU ALWAYS DI A ZERO DRIVE OFF LEASE. If you put down 3 to 7000 your a fool and I made money off of many fools. You take the money and put it in a money market account and let it grow instead of a 200 Dion at a month less payment but that’s not the biggest reason. YOU LOSE THE ENTIRE ANOUNT YOU PUT DOWN IF YOU TOTAL THE VEHICLE. This is how you lease a car. 1. You never discuss payment. You ask how much of a discount to msrp am I getting? Then you tell them period paragraph it has to be a zero drive off lease. Then NO extended warranties. Then if you have good credit like 750 to 800 up you ask what the money factor is. Then you make sure it’s not being marked up because that kill’s people and they have no clue what’s being done to them. Telling people to put down or expect to put down 5 grand or more shows honestly you have no clue sir.
