Most leases require some money at signing-typically a down payment, first month's payment, registration, and acquisition fees. However, many dealers offer zero-down or low-down lease specials, depending on the vehicle and current promotions. Putting more down reduces your monthly payment, but it's not always necessary. Our finance team at Castle CDJR of Naperville can show you lease deals with various down payment options so you can choose what works for your budget. Call (630) 864-6683 to explore your choices and see current incentives.
