Drive and Thrive Powered by Frank Myers Auto
For decades, car buyers have been told they have two choices when it comes to getting a vehicle: pay cash or finance it with a traditional auto loan.

At Frank Myers Auto Maxx, we've never been big fans of limiting people's options.

That's why we're excited to introduce the all-new Drive & Thrive Program, a smarter way to drive that's designed to give qualifying customers more flexibility, more choices, and more control over their transportation.

Whether you're tired of being stuck in the same vehicle for years, concerned about long-term commitments, or simply looking for a different way to drive, the Drive & Thrive Program may be exactly what you've been looking for.

 

What Is Drive & Thrive?

Drive & Thrive is a vehicle lease program powered by Frank Myers Auto Maxx.

Unlike traditional auto financing, Drive & Thrive allows qualifying customers to enjoy many of the benefits associated with leasing while also providing options that fit real-life situations.

The goal is simple:

Give drivers more flexibility while helping them enjoy a newer vehicle with less stress and fewer long-term obligations.

In a world where people's lives, jobs, families, and transportation needs change quickly, Drive & Thrive was created to adapt right along with them.

 

Why Drivers Love Drive & Thrive

Let's face it.

Most people don't drive the same vehicle forever.

In fact, many drivers get bored with their vehicle after just a few years. Others experience changes in their family size, commute, budget, or lifestyle.

That's where Drive & Thrive shines.

Many leases in the program typically range between 24 and 30 months, allowing qualifying drivers to upgrade more often and avoid being locked into a lengthy traditional auto loan.

That means you can spend less time worrying about being stuck and more time enjoying the ride.

 

Lower Monthly Payments May Be Possible

One of the biggest reasons customers ask about leasing is simple:

Monthly payments.

In many cases, lease payments can be lower than loan payments on the same vehicle.

Why?

Because with a traditional loan, you're financing the entire vehicle.

With a lease, you're primarily paying for the portion of the vehicle you use during the lease term, along with applicable rent charges and fees.

The result may be a lower monthly payment and the opportunity to drive a nicer, newer vehicle while staying within your budget.

 

Drive a Nicer, Newer Vehicle More Often

Technology changes.

Safety features improve.

Fuel economy gets better.

And let's be honest...sometimes we just want something different.

Because Drive & Thrive generally features shorter lease terms, qualifying drivers may have the opportunity to upgrade more frequently than they would with a traditional loan.

That means access to newer vehicles with updated technology, improved safety systems, and modern conveniences that make driving more enjoyable.

 

Reduced Depreciation Concerns

One of the biggest hidden costs of vehicle ownership is depreciation.

Many vehicle owners discover this when it's time to trade their vehicle and they find out it's worth less than they expected.

With Drive & Thrive, you're not responsible for the vehicle's future resale value if you simply choose to return it at the end of your lease.

That means less worrying about market values and more focus on enjoying your vehicle.

 

Flexible End-of-Term Options

Life changes.

Your transportation needs can change too.

At the end of your lease, Drive & Thrive gives you options.

You may choose to:

  • Return the vehicle
  • Lease another vehicle
  • Upgrade to something different
  • Purchase the vehicle if you decide you love it

In fact, one of the unique features of Drive & Thrive is that the vehicle's residual value is established up front, giving you a clear understanding of what your purchase option may look like at the end of the lease.

Simply put:

You have choices.

 

The Love It Or Leave It Guarantee

This may be one of the most unique features of the entire program.

Let's say your situation changes.

Maybe your budget changes.

Maybe your family grows.

Maybe the vehicle simply isn't the right fit anymore.

The Drive & Thrive Program includes a Love It Or Leave It Guarantee that allows qualifying customers to terminate their lease early by paying a $499 lease termination fee, provided their account is current and program requirements are met.

No lengthy process.

No unnecessary drama.

Just another example of how the program was designed with flexibility in mind.

Protection Beyond the Vehicle

Drive & Thrive isn't just about driving.

It's about peace of mind.

Depending on the vehicle, customers may enjoy benefits such as:

  • Lifetime Engine Warranty
  • 24 Month / 36,000 Mile Limited Transmission Warranty
  • Vehicle History Report
  • Pre-Sale Mechanical and Safety Inspection
  • Annual North Carolina State Inspections
  • Available Service Contract Protection
  • Reduced Maintenance Pricing at Frank Myers Auto Repair

These benefits are designed to help customers enjoy their vehicles with greater confidence.

 

Not Everyone Will Qualify (And That's Okay)

Let's keep it real.

Not everyone will qualify for every vehicle or every program.

Down payments and monthly payments vary based on the vehicle selected and your individual situation.

The good news is we've created opportunities for a LOT of different folks with a LOT of different credit situations.

The only way to know what options may be available to you is to talk with one of our non-commissioned Solutions Providers.

 

Is Drive & Thrive Right For You?

If you're looking for:

  • More flexibility
  • A newer vehicle
  • Potentially lower monthly payments
  • Flexible end-of-term options
  • Less concern about future vehicle values
  • A smarter alternative to traditional financing

Then Drive & Thrive may be worth exploring.
