The Best Lease Deals Right Now
Leasing is coming back strong after two years of automotive meltdown - and the deals this month and next are some of the best we've seen in a long time.
Here are some of the best and cheapest car lease deals available now.
The Honda deals expire on May 2, 2011. The others are only good for March and end either on April 4th or March 31st depending on the manufacturer.
Nearly all require a down payment as well as first month's payment and acquisition fees (cash due at signing).
All are for 36 month terms and 12K miles per year except where noted.
Honda offers their special leases two ways - one with the normal up-front costs, and another with $0 up-front (no first payment, no security fee, and no down payment, but you still pay registration and tag fees). We recommend no down payment when leasing.
