LEASING A VEHICLE

2. To LEASE a vehicle means:
* pay a SET AMOUNT each month, for a pre­determined length
of time.
* you have the option of quot;PURCHASINGquot; the vehicle at the end of
the lease or leasing again.
If you do choose to purchase the vehicle at the end of the lease, you have
to pay something called the RESIDUAL VALUE of the vehicle, which is
the PREDICTED VALUE of the vehicle at the end of the lease.

start of a lease and is returned at the
