The used auto market can be an intimidating one. With several generations of vehicles that may or may not be in production anymore, the choices may seem unending. With ambiguous histories behind each one, the quality of the used car you purchase can be very misleading. A few pre-owned options, however, provide more security and insight than others, one of them being the off lease vehicle.
Off lease vehicles that were previously leased from a dealership have usually been serviced by the same people and monitored by the dealership so you know more about their histories than the average used car. In addition, since the vehicle was returned to the dealership at the end of the lease, the pre-sale maintenance process is often more thorough. This situation not only makes for a safer used purchase, but allots several benefits that come with the car.
Although off lease vehicles have had limitations on the mileage and previous use, the price difference between the vehicle's MSRP when new and the off lease value are substantially different. This means you maximize the amount of car you get for the price you pay.
When a vehicle lease ends, the car is returned and inspected by the dealer for excessive mileage and severe damage. Since dealers profit off the damage to a leased vehicle, you will benefit from an in-depth inspection likely to catch any major problems and most minor ones as well. Dealerships will also replace broken parts and make any necessary repairs before making the car available for purchase.
In some cases, a dealership will receive a car at the end of its lease that is still in excellent condition and will stock it as a "certified pre-owned" vehicle. This will usually attach an extended warranty to the vehicle, allowing you the security from unexpected repairs that you cannot get from many used car dealers.
If you're looking into buying a used automobile, it may be beneficial for you to look into your local dealerships' off lease inventories. Not only are off lease vehicles substantially cheaper than new models, but they often offer higher-quality options than your average used car dealership with a more accurate knowledge of the car's history and a guarantee to back it up.
