Personal Car Shopper Service For Expats Launched By Lion Leasing

Feb. 8, 2011 - PRLog -- To help foreigners moving to the U.S. with hassle free access to a new vehicle, Lion Leasing has launched a Personal Car Shopper Service that offers to locate, negotiate the price and check the condition of any new or used vehicle nationwide. The vehicle can then be financed and insured without the need for a U.S. credit score and in some cases a U.S. drivers license. In addition the customer can choose to have the car delivered anywhere in the U.S.

“When moving to a new country there are many things that require your attention and time, and we wanted to help minimize the time spent on searching, negotiating, checking, financing and insuring the newcomer’s new vehicle. We will be your Personal Car Shopper” Says General Manager Jesper Lovendahl, who himself is an expat in the U.S.

There are no limits to what makes or models the customers can choose to lease, both new and used vehicles. Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Porsche, Volvo, BMW, Nissan, Audi, Mercedes or even Aston Martin and all other vehicles sold in America.

Lion Leasing is the only company that offers this service. The service has been developed after research in the industry and the needs expressed by expats and their employer that seeks to get as smooth a transit to their new surroundings as possible.

Lion Leasing (www.lionleasing.com), a company with Scandinavian roots introduced their car leasing and financing program in 2008 that makes it possible for foreign professionals to get access to car financing without a U.S. credit score. Since then Lion Leasing has pioneered the expansion of possibilities for foreigners moving to the U.S.

Lion Leasing has customers from all over the world; England, Germany, Spain, France, Japan, Ireland, India, Brazil, Australia, Scandinavia, Canada, China, South Africa and many more countries. A true international autosource for vehicles in the U.S.

It is a good idea to lease or finance a car when arriving to the U.S. even if you have the money to pay it in cash, as you will need to start building your U.S. credit score as this has a great impact on all aspects of your new financial life in the U.S. A leased vehicle will help your build a strong credit score faster.

As an expat in the U.S. you start with a fresh credit score, meaning that you start with a credit score of “300”. In the United states, credit score range from 300-850, with 723 being the median credit score of Americans. In general a credit score above 750 will almost guarantee an approval. Anything between 700 and 749 will likely result in an approval but the best "deal" isn't guaranteed. Anything between 650 and 699 could get you approved but it's doubtful you'll get the best deal and a declination isn't out of the question. Anything below 650, which is the current dividing line between prime and subprime (as of 2011), will likely get you declined.

At Lion Leasing we do not work with credit scores as it is useless in determining an expats credit worthiness, instead we work with parameters like salary package, visa length, employment length and other assets. Our pricing reflects the same level that an American with a good credit score would be able to obtain.

Our customers salary package range from $60,000 to $850,000. Even if you can prove to a regular U.S. financial institution that you make $850,000 a year, you cannot expect to be approved for credit. This is why Lion Leasing’s service is so unique and has gained so much momentum amongst expats in the U.S. No other company can offer the same service to expats in the U.S.
