When it comes to driving a new car, there’s nothing quite like that fresh-off-the-lot feeling. But as any car owner knows, that feeling comes with a hidden cost: depreciation. At Apple Leasing, we believe there’s a smarter way to drive, and it starts with car leasing.

What Is the Depreciation Trap?

Depreciation is the gradual loss of a vehicle’s value over time. The moment you drive a new car off the lot, it can lose up to 20% of its value. Within five years, most vehicles lose 50–60% of their original value. That means if you buy a car for $40,000, it could be worth less than $20,000 in just a few years, even if it’s in great condition.

This rapid decline can leave owners upside down on loans, stuck with low trade-in values, or forced to sell at a loss. That’s the depreciation trap.

How Leasing Helps You Dodge It

Car leasing flips the script. Instead of owning a depreciating asset, you’re essentially renting a car for its most valuable years. Here’s how leasing with Apple Leasing helps you avoid the depreciation trap:

  • Drive New, Stay Ahead: Leasing a car lets you drive the latest models every few years. You enjoy the newest tech, safety features, and fuel efficiency without worrying about long-term value loss.
  • Better Monthly Payments: Because you’re only paying for the car’s expected depreciation during the lease term (not its full value), monthly payments are more attractive than financing a purchase. With Apple Leasing, you can even explore the best car lease deals with no money down, making it easier to upgrade without upfront costs.
  • Flexible Options: Want to buy the car after your lease? You can. Want to upgrade to something new? Easy. Leasing gives you options without locking you into a depreciating investment.
