A great benefit of leasing Chevrolet’s is being able to have a new vehicle more often. When you purchase a new vehicle, you would likely be in a 4-7 year contract. However, lease contracts last 2-3 years. When you lease a vehicle you can get the latest performance features, safety and entertainment technology, and amenities, more often. Most leasing customers will pay less upfront and have lower monthly payments than if they were to purchase a vehicle. Though you can lease a new vehicle every 2-3 years, you still have the option to purchase your lease vehicle at the end of the lease contract. More benefits of leasing include:

At the time of a new vehicle purchase, you can choose an Extended Limited Warranty. When you choose the Extended Limited Warranty, your coverage lasts for 5 years/60,000 miles, whichever comes first. This warranty has no deductible and the same coverage as the standard-term Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty. Chevrolet’s Extended Limited Warranty is only available at the time of the vehicle purchase.
