How to Lease a Car in Fairfax, VA
You don’t have to spend a fortune to start driving a factory-fresh Jeep, Dodge, Ram, or Chrysler vehicle on your Fairfax commute. With a leasing contract, you’ll make affordable monthly payments for the duration of your contract without taking on the full responsibilities of ownership. If this sounds like a good fit, continue reading our overview before contacting our team at Farrish Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram for more information.
What Is a Lease, Exactly?
Think of leasing like a long-term rental. Instead of purchasing the vehicle outright, you're paying for the right to drive it for a set period, which is typically 24 to 48 months, and for a predetermined number of miles per year, usually between 10,000 and 15,000. At the end of the lease term, you simply return the vehicle, buy it out, or walk into our showroom and lease something brand new.
How Are Lease Payments Calculated?
Your monthly payment is based on the vehicle's value over the lease term. The capitalized cost is essentially the selling price of the vehicle, and negotiating this down matters just as much as it would in a traditional purchase. From there, the residual value plays a major role. A higher residual value means lower monthly payments because less depreciation is being spread across the term. The money factor, which functions like an interest rate, is also applied. Multiply it by 2,400 to get a rough APR equivalent. Taxes and fees vary by state and are folded into your total cost as well.
What Are the Benefits of Leasing?
Leasing offers a level of flexibility and value that buying simply can't match for many drivers. Monthly payments are typically lower than financing the same vehicle because you're only paying for the depreciation during your term, not the full price of the car. You'll also enjoy the experience of driving something new every few years on your commutes and trips to Van Dyck Park, complete with the latest safety technology, infotainment features, and fuel efficiency improvements. Because most leases align with the manufacturer's warranty period, costly repair bills are rarely a concern, though our Service Center is here for routine maintenance needs. When the term is up, you're free to move on without the hassle of trading in or selling a used vehicle.
What Should You Watch Out For?
Leasing isn't for everyone, and we believe in full transparency with every customer who walks through our doors. Drivers who exceed their annual mileage allowance will face per-mile fees at lease-end. If you frequently make trips into Washington, DC, or plan on taking summer road trips along the coast, you’ll need to account for this extra mileage. Excessive wear and tear on the vehicle can also result in additional charges upon return. And if your circumstances change and you need to exit the lease early, termination fees can be significant, so it's important to feel comfortable with the commitment upfront.
Is Leasing Right for You?
If you drive average miles, enjoy having a new Jeep Compass or Grand Cherokee every few years, and prefer keeping your monthly payment low, leasing is absolutely worth exploring. Our Finance Department is ready to walk you through current lease specials across the full Jeep, Dodge, Ram, and Chrysler lineup and find a deal that fits your lifestyle and budget. Stop by today, and we'll put you in the driver's seat.

Testimonials
“ Farrish is not my original dealership, but my 2023 Jeep Cherokee broke down and got serviced here. This is one of the best service teams I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with— my service advisor was Malcolm Coley. He kept me updated about my car and got it back to me in 2 days! The entire service team was excellent, kind, and even stayed a few minutes after closing so I could take my car home. I am genuinely beyond grateful. Good on Farrish for working with such amazing people! The individuals in the dealership were also lovely. They answered my questions and showed me where to go for service. This will definitely be my go-to place for service and car needs in the future. ”
“ They did a good job determining whether or not there was a coolant leak. None was found. They also repaired a leak in the oil pan. ”
“ Somar was my service manager for a recent visit. This was my best customer service experience from start to finish. ”
“ Everyone that I dealt with was GREAT! My vehicle issue was resolved quickly ”
“ Highly recommend the team at Farrish, especially Don, who has assisted me with my last two vehicle purchases. They made the transition simple and efficient. Sandy in Finance and Justin in Sales are also both standouts. Definitely worth checking out when you need a new car. ”
“ I moved from Koon's to Farrish and was surprised with the level of service, efficiency and commitment. ”
“ Samar was great & displayed very professional customer service throughout my many conversations. However, the 2 days a week water leak specialist not so much. If you do not want to work on a Jeep hardtop because it is not stock that’s one thing; but, at least you could have told me where you thought the water was coming in so I could have tried to seal the area for the short term until my Farrish ordered soft top came in to be installed. Best case for the soft top delivery is July 20. Rain forecast almost every afternoon, does that not guarantee wet Jeep interior & mildew for a Farrish customer ”
“ Samar was great! ”
“ Fairfax auto body did an excellent job fixing my Lexus. It was ready ahead of schedule. ”
“ First off I’d like to say I love and appreciate the swift business me and my girlfriend received from Mikaela Gamboa! She was flawless with everything she did and was very good at keeping the conversations light and still able to handle business. Furthermore, she made sure the vehicle my girlfriend purchased was fixed even after purchasing and made sure she was taken care of until she felt comfortable enough to leave the dealership. She also fought for us and you do not see that nowadays in a saleswoman. We will be back in the future and I wish her much success in anything she does! Thank you Mikaela for everything! ”
“ My salesperson was so helpful throughout the entire process! She worked with me and stayed after hours to make sure I was taken care of. She is professional and warm, and I will recommend her 10x again and again! I’m happy with her overall customer service and care she provided me during my visit and any additional questions/assistance I needed. ”

I rarely write reviews, especially for car dealerships.
“ I rarely write reviews, especially for car dealerships. In fact, after purchasing both new and used vehicles from a variety of dealerships over the years, I have never felt compelled to leave a positive review—until now. My experience with Farrish Jeep Chrysler Used Cars was outstanding from start to finish. What immediately stood out was the dedication and professionalism of the sales team, particularly Bryan and Mikaela. During a massive blizzard, when many people would have understandably stayed home, Bryan made the effort to come into the dealership and personally show me several trucks. That level of customer commitment is exceptionally rare and demonstrated that he genuinely cared about helping me find the right vehicle rather than simply making a sale. I was also extremely impressed with Uday, the Sales Manager. The quality of the inventory at Farrish is noticeably different from many other used car dealerships in the DMV area. While many dealers seem to rely heavily on auction vehicles or former fleet inventory, Uday appears to focus on sourcing owner-maintained vehicles that have been better cared for throughout their lives. That attention to vehicle selection makes a tremendous difference when shopping for a gently used vehicle and gave me a much greater level of confidence in my purchase. The financing process was equally pleasant thanks to Angel, the Finance Manager. He was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with throughout the transaction. I particularly appreciated the dealership's flexibility in allowing customers to use credit cards toward some or all of the purchase price, making it possible to earn valuable rewards points—a perk that many dealerships refuse to offer. Angel also thoroughly explained Farrish's comprehensive in-house warranty program. Fortunately, I have not needed to use the warranty, but it is reassuring to know that such coverage is available should the need arise. The entire buying process was a welcome relief compared to some of Farrish's competitors throughout the DMV region. There was no excessive pressure, no games, and no feeling that anyone was trying to maximize profit at the expense of the customer experience. What truly set this dealership apart, however, was how they handled a miscommunication during the purchasing process. Rather than ignoring the issue or making excuses, Dan, the Operations Director, personally reached out to me by both phone and email. He quickly addressed and resolved the situation, demonstrating that his priority was building a long-term relationship rather than maximizing a one-time transaction. He made it clear that Farrish values its customers and wants them to return in the future, rather than viewing each buyer as a single opportunity to extract as much profit as possible. That level of accountability and customer care is increasingly rare and deserves recognition. Overall, this was one of the best vehicle-buying experiences I have ever had. The professionalism of Bryan, the carefully curated inventory selected by Uday, the excellent financing support from Angel, and Bryan’s commitment to customer satisfaction combined to create an experience that far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Farrish Jeep Chrysler Used Cars and will absolutely look to Farrish for any future vehicle purchases. Five stars without hesitation. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ”

“ Mo is a nice guy and great at what he does. ”
“ We had an outstanding experience working with Fefe! Buying a car with a 5-month-old baby could have easily been stressful, but Fefe made the entire process smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable. He was incredibly attentive, patient, and kind from start to finish, taking the time to answer all of our questions and making sure we felt confident every step of the way. What stood out most was how considerate he was of our situation as new parents. He helped everything move along efficiently while still making us feel valued and never rushed. His professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care made a huge difference. We are so grateful for his help and would highly recommend Fefe to anyone looking for a positive car-buying experience! ”
“ (Translated by Google) Excellent service and I highly recommend Ms. Sara, she was very kind and patient with everything 😊😊 (Original) Exelente atencion y les recomiendo a la señorita Sara muy amable y muy paciente en todo 😊😊 ”
“ Fantastic customer service. Kept me informed throughout. Fully recommended ”
“ Leandro was great. Excellent customer service. Very thorough ”
“ Great Service!! ”
“ The repair was done in a reasonable amount of time. The only issue was wait time to speak with a service consultant to check in. Samar Yousif at Farrish Jeep said she would be right with me, but continued speaking with another customer for an inordinate amount of time without referring me to another consultant. I felt like I was being ignored. I did go to another consultant on the other end of the garage and was helped satisfactorily. ”

“ I visited Farrish Fairfax to test-drive a vehicle and ended up driving home in a truck that perfectly fits all of my needs. Mikaela and her team were incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and made the entire process smooth from start to finish. They worked quickly to get me approved and made the buying experience stress-free. I highly recommend Farrish Fairfax and especially Mikaela if you’re looking for excellent customer service and a team that truly works for you! ”
