Chrysler Finally Going To Start Leasing Again?
When you think about it – Chrysler is actually the only auto group that truly doesn’t lease cars or trucks. In July 2008, they announced that they were not going to lease anymore vehicles, now however – they might have to actually switch up that kind of thinking. The reason for the stopping of the leasing was because they were trying to force buyers into actually buying a car versus just leasing it.
However – the plan kind of back-fired on them, as after leasing was discontinued, Chrysler’s market share actually dropped by about 11.3% to 9.2%. The decline was in part by Chrysler’s very public bankruptcy proceedings and it very lackluster product line, however there is little doubt that this year – Chrysler will be back on track.
It seems that leasing is going to be coming back as well, on September 18th actually, it should be coming back for the general public!
