When thinking about getting a new lease one of the most
important questions to ask yourself is "how many miles do I need" and
then figuring out how many miles that breaks down to over the course of each
year (ex. you may be allowed to drive 12k miles per year for your lease which
equals 36k for the life of the lease.)
To
save money, you may want to go with a lower mileage lease!
TIPS TO LOWER YOUR MILEAGE CONSUMPTION:
1. Car-pool to work or school – either with family, friends
or co-workers
2. Use Public Transportation –
(Ex, instead of driving into NYC for the night, take the LIRR/Subway.)
3. Choose “Shortest Distance” on
your GPS – Many GPS are set to find the route with the shortest time even if it
requires more miles. By changing this setting, you may take an extra few
minutes but can save on miles.
4. Combine trips – Stopping at
the pharmacy or grocery store on your way home from work instead of making an
extra trip on the weekend may save time and miles.
5. Choose to fly or rent a
vehicle for getting to your vacation destination – Longer trips will definitely
eat up your mileage allowance so be sure to factor in the risk of mileage
overage when comparing costs to fly or drive.
