Cars With the Lowest Lease Payments
September 13, 2012
This week, I took a look at most of the lease deals currently available in the market to see which vehicles offer the cheapest monthly payments.
Most of the lease deals are advertised with some sort of down payment (which makes the monthly payment seem smaller). However, it's difficult to compare lease deals when each one has a different down payment, so I calculated each one with $0 down, making it an apples to apples comparison.
Please note that "cheapest" lease payment doesn't mean it's the best bang-for-your-buck deal. I just wanted to see which ones were most affordable, and the reality is that most car buyers have a monthly payment in mind when buying or leasing.
In order to get the best lease deal, I recommend you first try the free .
