From a Lender/Underwriter’s Perspective
- Risk & Resale: Age, mileage, condition, and spec drive terms and residuals.

Leasing vs Paying Cash — Pros & Cons
| Lease / EFA | Pay Cash | |
|---|---|---|
| Working Capital | Preserved for growth & shocks | Depleted on day one |
| Inflation Hedge | Fixed payments as prices rise | None — opportunity cost climbs |
| Upgrade Flexibility | FMV / $1 buyout options | Asset swap requires new cash |
| Total Cost Visibility | Known schedule; tax benefits possible | Hidden costs (maintenance, downtime) still hit cash |
| Credit Building | Positive tradeline history | None |
Bottom line: cash is for opportunity; financing is for fixed, depreciating assets.
Benefits & Trade-Offs
- Benefits: 100% financing, predictable payments, faster fleet growth, potential tax advantages.
