What does it mean for Aumsville, OR customers to lease a Ford Escape?

Leasing a vehicle is basically the same as renting except that it covers a longer period of time, and has more restrictions like mileage limits. Instead of paying off a loan on a Ford Escape, you'll pay for the estimated amount of depreciation that the financing company projects will occur over the life of the lease contract. You'll also be asked to put down a significant down payment when you lease a Ford Escape. Leasing will give you lower monthly payments than a loan but it can be complicated and it involves unfamiliar terms like "capitalized cost" and "residual value."
