Lease costs include a monthly payment, upfront fees (acquisition fee, first payment, registration), and sometimes a money factor (similar to interest). Monthly payments are typically lower than financing because you're only paying for the vehicle's depreciation during the lease term. Standard lease terms run 24-36 months with mileage allowances (often 10,000-15,000 miles per year). Maintenance is usually included; excess mileage and wear charges apply at lease end. Exact monthly payments, fees, and terms vary by vehicle and your credit profile. To get specific lease quotes for the vehicle you're interested in, call our finance team at (219) 250-9487. They'll explain every cost clearly so there are no surprises.
