Lease Deals Under $400 Per Month
October 18, 2012
One of the main reasons car shoppers tend to lease is due to the lower monthly payments. Given that fact, I looked at all the lease deals this week and calculated the ones that had the lowest monthly payments.
Note that these are not necessarily the "best bang for your buck" lease deals, but rather, ones that will cost you the least amount. Many lease deals advertise low monthly payments, but they trick you with large down payments.
In order to compare apples-to-apples, I calculated each lease deal with a $0 down payment. When you know which vehicle you want to lease, I recommend using the CarWoo Deal Finder to get the best deal.

My Recommendation for Car Shoppers
TrueCar, Edmunds, and 1-800 Car Show are the quickest way to see the lowest car prices in your area. These sites show you no-haggle prices from dealers closest to you - and the deals are usually really good. This should be the first step you take when negotiating your car price. Follow this up with my checklist to make sure you squeeze out every last bit of savings.California Residents - Important:
There is a new online car buying service called Roadster, available only to California residents, which I highly recommend you try - especially if you hate the stress of haggling with a car salesman. They provide an expert concierge who negotiates the price of the car and delivers it to your home with zero hassle - you never have to interact with a dealership. Here is my in-depth review of Roadster and why I recommend it.- Gregg Fidan
