$0 Acura Lease – All You Need to Know

A lot of people think that a "zero down" car lease means they owe nothing at the time of signing and, more often than not, this is not the case. Yes, there are zero-down options available but beware: these typically have fees and other expenses before driving off with your new Acura:

• First month's payment
• License and registration
• Taxes
• Document fees

With that being said, if you insist on leasing an Acura with zero down payment, those charges can be rolled into the monthly payments.

Read the Fine Print of Your Lease Contract Carefully

In case you were wondering, there's no standardized way of advertising leases. Different terms like drive-offs and down payment are used interchangeably which can be confusing! But don't worry - here is a quick rundown on what these commonly confused phrases mean:

The term "drive off" refers to the final step in the leasing process where the lessee is given keys to the vehicle. The drive-off fee is the amount of money one must pay to begin the lease (security deposit, DMV fees, and various lease fees).

The term "down payment," or “DP” as it may show up in your lease agreement, refers to the amount paid before signing the contract.

Certain taxes and fees are included at signing while others may not be. To compare apples to apples, you'll need the dealer's confirmation that all applicable taxes and fees have been taken into account with your quote.

As a side note – let the leasing officer you deal with where you live so they can determine sales tax for this area!
