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 RydeShopper to get the best deal.
