Semiconductor & Chip Shortages Take Toll On Car Lease Prices In NY

If you’re in the market for a new car and trying to finance it through leasing, you’ve probably heard that the global shortage of semiconductors has caused several automakers to raise their lease prices. While these increases typically affect luxury models, lease prices on mid-range brands like Hyundai and Kia have also seen a spike. 

This is part of a much bigger story about the trend for consumers to opt for higher trim levels in order to get the latest technological features, but automakers are feeling the pinch of component price increases nonetheless.

You may not think of tiny chips as a big deal, but they’re the reason that automakers can’t produce enough cars to keep up with sales. To stay in business, they have to raise prices.

So Instead of just going up a few dollars, car leases have gone up by over 20 percent over the last year  – and that’s on top of a decade-long trend of higher prices. 

Car Leasing Companys and Dealerships stand to lose

 

The price of a new car is dictated by the manufacturer – they determine the model, the extras, and the price. The leasing company then takes that price and offers it to you with different terms, such as length of contract and money down payment.

The increase in vehicle prices has also been marked by longer lease contracts, so if you’re buying or leasing this year you’ll likely be paying more upfront than last year’s car customer – even if the real dollar figure is smaller.

So how can you save?

 

  1. Work on your credit score – The better your credit score the more flexible the leasing company can be with your leasing terms
  2. Low mile leases – If you choose a car lease that allows 8,000 miles per year instead of 12,000 you can reduce your monthly payment (but be careful not to go over)
  3. Trade-ins: You can trade in your old car to knock off some of the prices from your car lease, if you have an old car that you no longer need, trade it in!
  4. Down Payment: Any amount that can you can offer up front as a down-payment can lower your lease payments
  5. Extend your lease: The longer your lease is, the less the monthly payments will be. Try going for a 5-year car lease.

Review From Ashley Smith: This was my first experience using a leasing company. In the past, I leased my cars directly through the dealership and always felt that I didn’t receive a fair price. I had such a pleasant experience with VIP Auto Lease from the first time I called to when my car was delivered. Michael Jeffries was a pleasure to work with. He was very responsive and able to get me a great deal. He made the leasing process smooth and easy. I was so impressed there were no hidden fees and that the car was delivered right to my house! I will definitely use VIP Auto Lease again in the future! Thank you again!
