Yes. Leasing a new car at Clement Auto Group is all about having your cake and eating it too. We are proud to pair up an impressive selection of head-turning cars with a leasing program that makes upgrading your daily commute a breeze.

A new car lease gives you the opportunity to take to the streets in an alluring and feature-rich new car at a cost that is often significantly lower than traditional monthly car payments. As part of the program, you'll enjoy the perks that come with owning your car for a predetermined term length of time.

When this term reaches completion, you'll still have the flexibility to purchase your car at a great price if you decide to keep it. Leasing keeps you in control by creating lots of options down the road.

This depends on your unique needs. To help make the choice between buying or leasing a vehicle easy, here's an overview of the benefits.

You should lease a new car if:

• You love the idea of upgrading into the hottest new Hyundai every couple years.
• You only need a car for a short time and would rather not set up longer-term financing.
• You are seeking a lower out-of-pocket cost at signing.
• You prefer lower monthly payments.

You should buy a new car if:

• You love the idea of owning the vehicle you drive.
• You want the freedom to sell your vehicle whenever you want.
• You want to keep your insurance costs as low as possible.
• You know you will put a lot of miles on your car.

Financing a new car gives you complete ownership, while leasing comes with a fixed term of possession. At the end of this period, you can either upgrade into another new car with the latest tech and comforts, or you can purchase your current vehicle at the pre-negotiated buyout price.

Your valuable time is important to both you and our team, so we've streamlined the car buying and loan process significantly. All you need to bring with you to drive home in your dream vehicle are the following items and we will handle the rest:

• Your Social Security number
• A valid driver's license
• Home ownership or renter's documents
• Pay stub or other employment verification info
• Relevant documentation for co-applicant and/or cosigner (if applicable)
