Leasing a car

[Anonymous]

Hello, Anyone know much about leasing cars??? I have never bought a car before and my credit needs improvement. However leasing seems like a good option for me because of the low down payment and low monthly payments. My scores are TU/620 EQ/506 EX/553. Would it even be possible for me to lease a car with out a cosigner??? If so where do I start?

No, you would not qualify with those scores. You need to get your scores in the 660's to qualify for a decent lease program. Keep working on getting your scores up and you should be there before too long.

if your 620 score was pulled you could lease and maybe with the 530 score. this is if you do not have a BK.

I believe you may qualify for a lease with your TU score. if the financing company pulls all three I doubt you'd qualify. What are you planning to lease?

If you shop around you can find some lenders that will look exclusively at particular cras.  I found one that only looked at TU and that was my highest score at the time.

Chrysler finacial is the one to look at...They are very easy to deal with, esp. on a lease...A friend got a 24 mth lease with a 625 Eq score...He got a 2008 Liberty for 15K a year @299 a month.... Put 2.25K down, but worked out well

Do you have any advise for me, I let several accounts go to collections about 4 years ago, and in the past 3 months I have been really working to pay off my debt and improve my credit. In the past 2 months I would say I paid off over $1500 in past due accounts. I still have one account that I am making monthly payments on the balance is $4,445.00 and 2 other small accounts that I plan on paying off soon. I only have one open credit card account, however it is in good standing. I am only in debt about $5,000.00. I just checked my credit score today and it went down 20 points! I have no idea why. Do you know anything about good will letters? Do they work? Any advise on how I can improve my credit to lease a car.

Hi,

Can anybody tell me what kind of scores you need for Mercedes and BMW leases? Anyone who's leased with these companies please share your experience. Thanks.
