Dealer Information

Advantages of SEADRA's Rent-to-Own system

  1. No up-front tax burden.
  2. No down payment. Instead, the customer is assessed a non-refundable security deposit, unlike a security deposit when renting an apartment or house, these monies are part of the price of the vehicle if paid out.
  3. Holding the money as security also delays taxes due until the money is assessed against the value of the car – the last payments of the contract.
  4. No repossession risks. If the customer defaults, the car can be reported as stolen. The dealers spell out the risk to the customer in the contract.
  5. Instead of being a civil matter, it is a criminal felony if the customer doesn’t return the car, which puts a lot of teeth in the deal.
  6. Repossessions will occur and if so, the dealer retains the entire non-refundable security deposit as liquidated damages. Therefore the dealer cannot be out any monies.
  7. If the car is returned to the dealer, he just cleans and services it, then re-rents it. He then receives another non-refundable security deposit up front and payments begin again.
  8. Customers are encouraged during the length of the contract to upgrade and enter into another contract and returning the original vehicle, which is then re-rented. Of course the dealer immediately is earning profit because car cost has already been received.
  9. When this occurs the dealer is making money just a few months into the first rental contract.
  10. SEADRA tracts the customers own insurance, notifying the dealer to have the customer keep insurance in force.
  11. The contract allows the renter to return the vehicle at any time and not owe further payments but they will not receive any return payments. The dealer then cleans the vehicle up and re-rents it.
  12. Vehicles on the SEADRA Rent-to-Own System cannot be lost to bankruptcy. It is not legal for a SEADRA Rent-to-Own System vehicle to be placed into a bankruptcy proceeding. The factors are the renter is not titled to the vehicle and there isn’t any financing that they are paying.

Rent-to-Own vs. Leasing:
Control, Protections & Profits

  • The #1 problem of leased vehicles is that they are LOST to bankruptcy proceedings. The dealers realize little or no monies from these vehicles once they enter bankruptcy.
  • The dealer cannot repossess leased vehicles without court intervention, therefore time is lost and experience has shown that the vehicles, when finally returned to dealer, are in poor condition.
  • All repossessions or lost vehicles are Civil in nature, not criminal, as in rent-to-own.
  • All lease contracts are closed in and therefore if lessee has financial problems or other factors kin which they want out of the contract, the only options are – pay it out or voluntary repossession.
  • Overall concepts – Lease vs. Rent-To-Own continually favor the Rent-To-Own concept. Why? The dealer has complete control, protection, profitability and cannot lose his property through legal means.
