How Down Payments Really Work.

Ever wonder how down payments work when you’re buying or leasing a new or used vehicle? The Folsom Auto Mall tries to make it simple for you.

Unless you’re buying a vehicle outright - that is, handing over a cash or check for the full value of the vehicle, chances are, you’ll be financing or leasing.

Should I Turn In or Buy Out My Lease?


Your lease is almost up. What are you going to do? Of course, you can turn it in. Sometimes it’s almost as easy as just handing over the keys. But sometimes you may owe money for mileage overages, wear and tear or accidental damage. Did you know that you might have another option? Have you ever considered buying out your lease?

Have you ever wondered what Debt Cancellation Agreements are? Wondered why you might need one? Folsom Auto Mall is pleased to explain.

In short, debt cancellation agreements (sometimes referred to as “Gap”) are contracts that cover the difference - or the gap - between what your new vehicle is actually worth and the amount you still owe on it. Basically, your new car could depreciate faster than you pay down your loan, so you might end up owing more than it’s actually worth - especially in the first few years of ownership.

What to do if you’re going over your mileage on your lease



It happens to many drivers. You lease a vehicle with typical mileage conditions and as you’re approaching the end of your term, you realize you’re likely going to have overages. Most leases allow for for anywhere between 10,000 and 15,000 miles of driving per year. At 12,000 miles a year, that means a person should drive about 33 miles per day or 230 miles per week. But what if you realize your commute is longer than that? Or a few unexpected road trips have added more mileage than you expected? The Folsom Auto Mall has…
