Lease Deals Under $250/month
May 31, 2018
For those of you wanting to drive a brand new car without spending a ton of money, I scoured all the current advertised lease deals offered by manufacturers and created a list of 64 deals currently available for under $250 per month - (monthly payment calculated with $0 down payment so you can compare apples to apples). Important to note -- these lease deals do not include taxes, registration, and other fees that vary from state to state and may only be available in certain regions. Also, most of these lease deals are on base models. Adding options or choosing higher trims will increase the cost - sometimes by quite a lot.
Also note that these are advertised lease prices. You may be able to negotiate an even better deal on some of these vehicles if you contact several dealers - I recommend using TrueCar No Haggle and CarsDirect to compare deals among local dealers.
