31 Cars You Should Avoid Leasing
Long-time readers know that I'm all about finding the best deals, but it also helps to know which deals you should avoid.
This week, I went through every advertised lease deal to find the very worst ones. Taking the #1 spot is the 2017 Infiniti QX70, with a "bang for buck" of only 57 (which means you only get $57 worth of vehicle for each dollar spent on your monthly payment). Great lease deals should net you a bang for buck of 100 or more.
Check out the full list below and make a note of these models. It's unlikely you can get a good lease deal on any of these, so if you're a deal-shopper, you know which ones you shouldn't waste your time on.
As always, I recommend using TrueCar No Haggle and CarsDirect to see the lowest prices your local dealers are willing to offer.
