Most leases ask for an upfront payment-often called a capitalized cost reduction-though zero-down leases are sometimes available depending on the vehicle and your creditworthiness.

Your down payment reduces your monthly bill. A larger down payment = lower monthly payments. You'll also cover taxes, registration, and documentation fees upfront.

Bareford GMC's Finance team can show you lease options with various down payment amounts and find one that fits your budget. Call **(804) 445-2810** to see what's available on the GMC model you love.
