Can You Lease a Used Car?

If you're exploring affordable ways to drive a luxury vehicle in Warner Robins, you might be wondering if you can lease a used car. The answer is yes—in certain cases, dealerships offer certified pre-owned lease programs that let you enjoy premium features at a lower monthly payment. This option can be particularly appealing when you're eyeing high-end models like Genesis. At Genesis of Macon, we’re proud to offer competitive Genesis lease offers on select new and certified pre-owned vehicles, giving you flexible options to suit your budget and driving needs.

Most manufacturers only allow certified pre-owned vehicles to be leased. As a general rule, the CPO vehicles available for leasing must be fewer than 4 model years old and have less than 48,000 miles on their odometer. This means that if you want to lease a certified used vehicle, you’ll need to visit a franchised dealership like those that are a part of Genesis of Macon, as it’s only at franchised dealerships where you can find certified pre-owned vehicles. 

According to the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA), the list of manufacturers that are said to offer CPO leasing includes Acura, Audi, BMW, Chrysler, Dodge, Ferrari, FIAT, Honda, Hyundai, INFINITI, Jeep, Kia, Lexus, Lincoln, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, MINI, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Porsche, RAM, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo.

Leasing a certified used vehicle follows a pretty similar process to new vehicle leases. The difference between the sale price of the vehicle and its estimated value at the lease end will determine the monthly lease payment. 

This poses a benefit for Perry shoppers—used cars depreciate more slowly than new cars, so the difference between the sale price and estimated lease-end value will be smaller and your monthly payments will be lower. 

Like new car leasing, when your lease ends you will need to return your CPO lease to the dealership. There will also be mileage limits that you will need to adhere to. 

• Monthly Payment Amount: As we noted above, you can lease a used car for a lower monthly amount than you would a new car. 
• Potential for Lease Buyout: The estimated value of a used vehicle will be lower at lease-end when compared to a new vehicle, which could make a lease buyout more affordable when you reach the end of your lease term. 
• Lower Insurance Rates: There’s a good chance you can get a lower car insurance rate with a CPO lease, as insurance costs are partially based on the car’s value. 

We believe you shouldn’t have to compromise luxury for value. That’s why we offer select options for leasing a used car, including certified Genesis models that meet the highest standards of quality and performance. When you lease with us, you can enjoy:
