At Gates Ford Lincoln, we've built our name on treating people the way we'd want to be treated, a tradition the Gates Auto Family has carried since 1915. We'll walk you through every number on a lease, answer questions in plain language, and never rush your decision.
Matching a Lincoln SUV to the Way You Live
Lincoln's lineup is made up entirely of SUVs, which makes it easier to narrow things down by size. The Corsair is the most compact of the group and a great fit for daily errands and tight parking spots. It's also offered as the Corsair Grand Touring plug-in hybrid for drivers who want electric miles around town. The Nautilus adds more room for two rows of passengers and is available with a hybrid powertrain.
Need a third row? The Aviator seats six or seven and pairs that space with a twin-turbo V6, while the full-size Navigator is the flagship for big families and long road trips. Whichever one catches your eye, we're happy to set up a test drive so you can feel the difference before you sign anything.
Lower Payments, More Breathing Room
With a lease, you pay for the portion of the vehicle's value you use during the term, plus a finance charge (often called the money factor) and fees, rather than the full price. That's why Lincoln lease deals often come with a smaller monthly payment than a loan on the same SUV. Many drivers use that difference to move into a higher trim or add the features they really want.
We'll help you choose an annual mileage allowance that matches your real driving, whether that's a short trip across town near Eastern Kentucky University or a regular run up I-75. Picking the right number up front helps you avoid excess-mileage charges at turn-in. When you're ready, get pre-approved online to see where you stand before you visit.
Leasing vs. Financing, Side by Side
Both paths can lead you home in a new Lincoln. The better choice depends on how many miles you drive, how long you like to keep a vehicle, and whether building equity matters to you. Here's how the two compare.
| Feature | Leasing | Financing |
|---|---|---|
| Ownership | You drive it for a set term; the lender owns it | You own it once the loan is paid off |
| Monthly Payment | Usually lower; covers depreciation, finance charge, and fees | Usually higher; pays down the full price plus interest |
| Due at Signing | Often first payment, fees, taxes, and any down payment | Often a down payment, taxes, and fees |
| Mileage | Annual limit set in the contract; extra miles cost more | No mileage limits |
| Wear and Use | Excess wear charges may apply at turn-in | Condition only affects resale or trade-in value |
| Customization | Modifications generally restricted | Customize it however you like |
| Warranty Fit | Shorter terms often end within factory coverage | Longer loans may outlast factory coverage |
| Equity | None built unless you buy the vehicle | Builds with every payment |
| End of Term | Return it, buy it, or lease a new one | Keep driving payment-free, sell, or trade |
| Best Fit | Drivers who want a new model every few years | Drivers who keep vehicles for the long haul |
Exact terms, fees, and mileage options vary by model and by current offers from Lincoln Automotive Financial Services, so our finance team will lay out the specifics for the SUV you choose.
Factory Coverage Built into the Term
One of the quieter perks of leasing is how neatly the term lines up with Lincoln's factory protection. Every new Lincoln comes with a 4-year/50,000-mile limited warranty and 6-year/70,000-mile powertrain coverage, so a typical three-year lease wraps up before the basic coverage does, if you stay under its 50,000-mile limit.
Lincoln drivers also earn Lincoln Access Rewards points, which can be redeemed for routine maintenance, such as oil changes and tire rotations. Our factory-trained technicians handle that service right here, so keeping your SUV in good shape for turn-in is simple.

A Century of Putting Drivers First
Our story started in 1915, when Bernard Gates bought a car from the Dodge brothers and sold it out of a livery stable. More than a hundred years later, Gates Ford Lincoln still runs on that same idea of earning trust one customer at a time. Our team gives back through community work like Secret Families Christmas Charities, and we treat every lease conversation as the start of a long relationship.
Leasing gives you a new Lincoln with lower payments, current tech, and a clear exit at the end of the term. Financing gives you ownership and freedom from mileage limits. We'll lay both options out honestly so you can choose the one that fits your budget and your plans, with no pressure to decide on the spot.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Gates Ford Lincoln offer Lincoln lease deals?
Yes. Gates Ford Lincoln in Richmond, KY, offers lease options on every new Lincoln SUV, including the Corsair, Nautilus, Aviator, and Navigator. Our team will compare current offers with you and help you find a payment that works.
Is it better to lease or finance a Lincoln?
It depends on how you drive. Leasing usually means lower monthly payments and a new model every few years, but it comes with mileage limits. Financing costs more each month, but you build equity and own the SUV once the loan is paid off.
What happens at the end of a Lincoln lease?
At the end of your lease, you can return the vehicle, buy it for the purchase option price listed in your contract, or lease a new Lincoln. Returning it involves an inspection for excess wear and a check of your mileage. We'll walk you through each option well before your term ends.
Can I trade in my current vehicle toward a Lincoln lease?
Yes. Your trade-in value can be applied toward the amount due at signing or used to lower your monthly payment. Gates Ford Lincoln offers an online Value Your Trade tool so you can get an estimate before you visit.
What happens if I go over my lease mileage?
Miles beyond your contract's allowance are billed at the per-mile rate set in your lease agreement when you turn the vehicle in. Choosing a realistic mileage allowance at signing is the easiest way to avoid that charge. If your driving changes, talk with our team about your options before the lease ends.
Is maintenance included in a Lincoln lease?
Routine maintenance isn't automatically part of the lease payment, but new Lincoln drivers earn Lincoln Access Rewards points that can go toward services like oil changes and tire rotations. Your Lincoln is also covered by the factory limited warranty for 4 years or 50,000 miles. At Gates Ford Lincoln, our factory-trained technicians handle all of your scheduled service.
