We lease my wife's car and it works for us. She would want a new car every 3 or 4 years anyway so in the long run I think it works well for us, even if we pay a few extra bucks.
But we always lease with no money down, always take the lowest miles they will allow for 3 years (10,000 miles per year for us to get they payment down) and we always go flying over the allowance. We never have a problem turning the car back in with no fee's (even once turned it back in with a pretty big dent). If we are leasing again, they look the other way.
Even had a different dealership buy the car so we could lease one of theirs.
wow? really. never heard this... great info if true...
How do you find leases with no money down. I think I paid $2500 when I leased my car, and that's why I wouldn't do it again...
Never Ever put money down on a Lease !!
They like to give you that Bull shit about this and that... tell them to put it into the Lease Price
i have never leased but it always sounded like such a great option to me.
however everyone i know that has leased a car never leased a car a second time.....that tells me something
Funny to see this. I am doing the comparison on my own right now. The wife wants a new car. Heres what I got so far:
-Never put money down. The biggest it COULD effect you is a couple bucks a month
-The mileage option is pretty easy to guess so shouldn't be an issue
-Is currently cheaper than buying a used car right now.
-oil changes and regularly schedule maintenance is included
-If you are going to finance a car the insurance costs you the same as leasing
-During the lease time, your payments go towards what would be the principle with 0% juice. If you love the car and decide to buy it at the end of your lease, you just finance (or for the big dogs) just pay off the "balance.
My BIGGEST concern:
-the wife isn't the best driver. Any damages must be repaired before turning it in.
Examples: small dings, scratches, burn holes, dog scratches
