A significant factor in the wisdom of leasing company vehicles is the leasing company’s ability to purchase at extremely competitive prices. Toward this end, Leasing Associates purchase the majority of its cars and trucks from a select group of professional fleet dealers. This dealer group specializes in servicing nationwide fleets and is uniquely and distictly structured to do so. Vehicles are, as nearly possible, delivered through a dealer local to the driver. The most cost-effective way to acquire a vehicle is through Factory Ordering. Our Fleet Account Managers will assist you and your company in saving money by asking the right questions. Whenever time permits, we encourage our clients to Factory Order. You get the exact vehicle you want at the best possible cost and the lease structured to fit your unique needs. This Factory Ordering process normally takes 60 days.

Leasing Associates as made the vehicle ordering procedure as smooth as possible. All orders are to be approved by you, the client, before an order can be placed. Once we have your authority to proceed, we enter your order into our on-line system for processing by our Purchasing Department. Allowing for the dealer handling, your order will generally take sixty days. During this period you will be provided with regular status reports on your order(s) as often as needed. Unlike many leasing companies, Leasing Associates encourages drivers to select their own geographical area (should they wish to do so), provided, of course, that the dealer is agreeable to reasonable delivery cost parameters. (Drivers have no involvement whatsoever in price negotiations and are encouraged to avoid any involvement in the sale process.)

Upon arrival of your vehicle(s) at the delivering dealer, your driver will be contacted and a convenient time set up for delivery. Generally, if a used vehicle is being replaced, the used unit can be left at the delivering dealer. If for some reason you are unable to wait for a factory ordered vehicle, Leasing Associates locates the vehicle specific to your needs from a local dealer’s inventory. Once a vehicle has been located and approved by you, the purchase will be completed and a convenient delivery time set up with your driver. As with factory ordered vehicles, the delivering dealer will handle the initial license and registration paperwork. In those states that use temporary tags, the vehicle can generally be delivered within a day or so. Some states require metal places be on the vehicle before delivery until the dealer completes the registration. Usually, this can be completed within three or four days.
