What is the difference between a closed-end lease and an open-end lease??
In a closed-end lease you are responsible for making a specified number of lease payments over a period of time based on a fixed end of lease value (residual value) regardless of market conditions at the time of lease termination. If there is a loss of value from depreciation, other then from excess wear and tear or mileage, it is absorbed by the leasing company. In an open-end lease, you take the risk and are responsible for any difference from the estimated residual value once the vehicle is returned and resold. leasebynet.com only provides closed-end leases to it’s customers.
