The Cheapest Lease Deal in America
If you're just looking for the cheapest monthly payment on a lease, you don't mind driving an electric vehicle, AND you live in California, then I've got good news.
The leftover 2016 Ford Focus Electric is America's cheapest lease deal, coming in at only $119 per month with only a $699 down payment. This is after taking advantage of California's $2,500 rebate on electric vehicles.
Ford added close to $2,000 in incentives compared to last month on this vehicle, dropping the monthly payment by $50.
Other electric vehicles such as the 2016 Nissan Leaf and 2016 Kia Soul are also leasing for sub-$200 payments, but none come close to the Focus deal.
As always, I recommend using TrueCar No Haggle and CarsDirect to see the lowest prices your local dealers are willing to offer.
