 Auto Leasing in Texas
Most states are the same when it comes to leasing an automobile. It doesn't matter if it's a personal lease, a business lease, or even a fleet lease. There are some banks who won't lease in Lousiana because of their repo laws but there are enough that will that it doesn't affect Lousiana residents. Texas, like any other state charges for:
First Payment
A lease payments are different than a loan payments. The first payment is made at the beginning or the middle of the month, while loan payments are paid at the end of the due month. This means you make your first lease payment in cash at the time you sign your lease contract although more often than not, the forst payment is figured into the deal easing the financial crunch.
Security Deposit
This fee is about the same as the first payment and is refunded at the end of the term. A good credit rating may make a security deposit uneccesary. Most leases require no security deposit. Making a security deposit is not the same as a down payment.
Acquisition Fee
An acquisition fee is a set rate charged by the bank for processing the loan. This fee is usually $250 to $900, depending on the lender. The higher the price of the car, the higher the acquisition fee.
Disposition Fee
This is a fee the bank charges when the car is turned in to prepare it for resale. Normally this ranges from $250 - $450 and is not negotiable.
Documentation, Registration, License, Tag, and Title Fees
These are the same fees you would pay on a traditional purchase.
Sales Taxes
U.S. states (except New Hampshire, Alaska, and Oregon) and Canada impose a sales tax on motor vehicle purchases by consumers. Some States call this a Monthly Use Tax. In Texas it is 6.25% of the Cap Cost.
Cap Cost
This is a combination of your payments, residual, fees and taxes.
