Leasing does require a credit check, and most lenders prefer good credit. However, bad credit doesn't always disqualify you-it depends on your score, income, employment history, and the specific vehicle. A larger down payment or co-signer can sometimes help approval. Our Castle CDJR of Naperville finance team works with multiple lenders and has options for various credit situations. We encourage you to call (630) 864-6683 to explore your possibilities-let's see what we can do to get you into a vehicle.
