If you love that new car smell, but don’t want the responsibilities of long-term maintenance, consider leasing your next vehicle. Unlike a purchase, most leases allow you to drive a new car every two to three years for a lower monthly payment. In general, if you drive less than 15,000 miles per year, leasing may be the right choice for you. You can lease a car through our dealer network, and some dealers may offer special incentives that can make leasing even more affordable.

2As an example, an 84-month new auto loan with a fixed rate of 6.99% APR would result in a payment of $15.09 for each $1,000 financed.
3 Rates that are discounted by .25% include a requirement that loan payments are automatically transferred from your savings, checking, or tiered money market account for the life of the loan. The monthly payment is not decreased as a result of this discounted rate.
