How to Lease Small Vans

Leasing a small van is just like leasing any other vehicle. Do your research online, find out about any current promotions or incentives currently running for the make and model you are looking at. Do your comparison shopping and find the best deal. You'll be driving your small van in no time with the satisfaction of knowing you did your homework and got a great deal.

Instructions

1

Get online and start doing your comparison shopping between the different available small vans that are available from different manufactures. Sites, such as cars.com, autotrader.com and edmunds.com, will let you compare vehicles side-by-side to help you better determine which small van will work best for you.

2

Take the list of small vans that would work for you and start pricing them out. Check manufactures websites, leasing company websites, newspapers and local dealership websites to find any incentives, rebates or current lease specials running on any one of your choices.

3

Email several Internet sales managers at different dealerships to get the best pricing you can on your new small van. Let them know that you are aware of all current incentives, rebates, residual value and other pertinent information. This will help you get the best deal with the least amount of hassle since the salesperson will have no way of hiding things like the money factor buy rate (effective interest rate) on your lease.

4

Choose the dealership that was the most upfront and straight forward with you and schedule a day and time to pick up your new small van. Ask to fill out a credit application and fax it to the dealership along with your driver's license and a current insurance card to get all of the paperwork ready before arriving.

5

Give your new small van a full walk around and check for any imperfections, including scratches, dings or dents on your new vehicle. If there are any blemishes have the finance manager that is handling your paperwork write it down on the "Due Bill" so that you have proof that you did not inflict the damage on the vehicle. This will also hold the dealership liable for fixing it rather than leaving the liability on you.
