#397 of 403 Risk of Single Pay Lease? by romil01

Dec 03, 2012 (2:30 am)

I know everyone says not to do cap cost reduction on a lease if you can help it due to the risk of losing your down payment if you total the car. But what about a single payment lease? Is there any risk associated with that for the same reasons?

Single-payment leases work differently..
 
For purposes of calculating the lease balance, a single-payment lease is considered to be a payment in escrow, from which the monthly payments are then taken, each month..
 
In event of an involuntary termination, then you'd receive the balance of the payments in return.

#400 of 403 Trade-in without reducing cap costs by hamm3r

Dec 05, 2012 (9:26 am)

I am looking at leasing my first car & want to make as little a down payment as I am allowed. I have a car to trade in that I will probably get around $9,000 for, but I'd like to pocket the cash instead of putting it toward the lease. Having never leased before I do not know if this is common, rare, or unheard of. My best guess is that it is rare but that it depends on the dealer, but I'm hoping that those of you with more experience will tell me that it happens all the time & I should go for it. Thanks for any advice.
