Honey, I Shrunk the Payments

No, you haven't accidentally turned the dog into the size of a hamster. And you haven't invented a machine that bends the laws of physics.

You've simply discovered something almost as impressive...

How to shrink your monthly lease payments.

Cue the self-satisfied grin. The dramatic reveal. The expectation that everyone in the house should be just as impressed as you are.

Spoiler alert: they probably won't be. But your bank account might.

It's not science. It's smarter leasing.

The genius dad from that famous '80s film spent his days tinkering in the garage, experimenting until something unexpectedly became tiny.

You don't need lasers, equations or questionable inventions.

Just a few sliding toggles.

At Summit Drive, every vehicle lets you play around with the numbers to build a deal that works for you. Think of it as your own little laboratory - except the only thing getting smaller is the monthly payment.

No head-gear required.

The easiest ways to shrink your payments:

1. Increase your initial payment

Want lower monthly costs?

A larger initial payment usually means you'll pay less each month afterwards.

It's the leasing equivalent of eating your vegetables. Slightly painful at first. Worth it in the long run.

2. Extend the contract

Spreading the cost over a longer agreement can reduce your monthly payment.

Perfect if keeping the monthly budget low is more important than finishing the agreement sooner.

3. Adjust your annual mileage

Be honest.

Do you really drive 20,000 miles a year…or do you just like having options?

Choosing a mileage allowance that's closer to how you actually drive can often make a noticeable difference to your monthly payment.

No point paying for miles you'll never use.

Become the household hero

Spend five minutes adjusting the lease parameters.

Watch the monthly payment come down.

Walk into the kitchen looking like you've just solved world hunger.

Go on. Have a tinker.
