Choosing an Acura lease means considering more than the monthly payment. Mileage, term length, upfront costs, and your plans at lease end can all help determine which agreement fits your lifestyle. Acura of Sherman Oaks explains some of the most important factors to consider before you sign.
Choose an Annual Mileage Allowance
Start by looking at how much you actually drive. Acura Luxury Lease™ offers annual mileage options of 7,500, 10,000, 12,000, or 15,000 miles, with the option to purchase additional miles at signing.
Consider your commute, errands, road trips, and other regular driving when selecting an allowance. If you regularly lease Acura vehicles, there's another benefit worth knowing about: qualifying Acura Loyalty Advantage customers can roll over up to 15,000 unused miles from their current lease to their next eligible Acura lease.
Find a Term Length That Fits Your Plans
Acura Luxury Lease™ contracts offer flexible terms ranging from 24 to 60 months. A shorter lease can give you an earlier opportunity to move into another vehicle, which may appeal to drivers whose family, commute, or vehicle preferences are likely to change.
A longer term lets you keep the same Acura for more time. Because monthly payments depend on the complete lease structure, compare available offers rather than assuming a particular term will automatically cost more or less each month.
Understand Your Upfront and Monthly Costs
Leasing generally requires less cash upfront than purchasing, and monthly lease payments are based largely on the vehicle's estimated depreciation rather than its entire purchase price. That can result in lower monthly payments than financing the same vehicle over a comparable period.
Still, look at the complete agreement rather than focusing on the advertised monthly payment. Your amount due at signing and overall costs can be affected by the particular offer, taxes, registration, fees, mileage allowance, term, and other factors.
Plan for the End of Your Lease
Your plans after the lease matter, too. At lease end, you can return your current Acura, purchase it at the guaranteed purchase price established in your agreement, or return it and lease another Acura.
If you expect your driving needs to change, thinking about those options before signing can help you choose a lease that better fits both your current lifestyle and your plans for the next few years.
