Leasing companies typically prefer good to excellent credit (usually 700+), but don't worry if yours isn't perfect. Various lease programs exist for different credit profiles, and our finance team works with multiple lenders to find options that work for you. Even if your credit score is lower, you may still qualify-it just might mean a larger down payment or different terms. **The best way to find out what you qualify for** is to call (779) 265-4427 or start an application online at https://www.castlecadillacmchenry.com. Our finance experts will review your situation and show you realistic lease options.
