How to Lease a Chevy Tahoe

Getting a new Chevy Tahoe lease is a fairly straightforward process. All you'll need are the right tools to make sure you get the best possible deal available for your lease and an afternoon to sign all of your paperwork. Most everything can be done on your computer in the comfort of your home or office without the need to even step foot in the dealership until you sign the lease.

Instructions

1

Start by picking out the options and colors you are looking for on your new Chevy Tahoe. Look at different packages and trim levels available either online on websites like http://www.edmunds.com and http://www.chevy.com or stop by your local Chevy dealer.

2

Check for all available incentives that are currently being offered on the Tahoe when you are ready to get your lease. Sites such as http://www.edmunds.com will give you the vehicle's MSRP (Manufactures Suggested Retail Price), invoice price (what the dealership buys the truck for) and any cash-back incentives that Chevrolet might currently be offering at that time.

3

Send out a few emails to different dealers, either via their own websites or by using third-party websites, such as http://www.cars.com or http://www.edmunds.com, to get lease offers in writing. Keep track of all the lease offer emails you receive and get your new Tahoe lease from the dealer who sends you the lowest price and was the most helpful. If you are dealing with several dealers and their offers are all within a few dollars of each other, pick the salesperson who was upfront and honest with you from the beginning.

4

Get your paperwork prepared before you arrive at the dealership. Ask your salesperson if you can either email or fax over a credit application to his office so that he can finalize your bank approval for your new Tahoe lease. This will help with the downtime most people usually face going to the dealer and waiting to sign all of their lease paperwork.

5

Give your Tahoe a full inspection before signing the lease. Check for any dents, dings or scratches on the body of the SUV as well as the interior. If you find something that should not be there or that needs to be fixed or replaced, have the finance manager write it down on the "Due Bill." The Due Bill will be a piece of paper stating the car's vin number, your personal information and any work promised to be performed by the dealer.
