Used car leasing offers an answer to the challenge of affordability and performance. Thanks to the incorporation of the residual value in the lease, a LHPH dealer can offer the same monthly payment on the lease of a vehicle with a $11,000 agreed upon value as a BHPH dealer can offer on a vehicle with an $8,000 sales price. Both deals provide the consumer the same monthly payment and down payment, with the same 36-month term. However, the LHPH dealer can offer a newer vehicle, with lower miles, likely to last the entire term, and result in better portfolio performance over time.
