Worst Cars to Lease Right Now
March 23, 2023
On this web site, I usually highlight the best deals available, but it's also important to know which models to avoid. That's why this week I compiled advertised lease deals from around the country to find out which vehicles and locations offer
the worst "bang for your buck" lease deals.
The 2023 Jaguar F-Pace now stands out as the worst advertised bang for your buck deal in the country this month - $1,256 per month with zero down on a vehicle with MSRP of $62,000. That's equivalent to getting only $49 worth of
MSRP for each dollar you pay per month. The best lease deals will give you more than twice the bang for the buck.
Each lease deal below is calculated with zero down payment, 36 month 12K annual miles (10K for luxury vehicles) so you can compare apples to apples. Note that payments don't include tax, title, and other fees and the deals may only be available in
that particular region.
If you want good lease deals, I recommend you use TrueCar No Haggle and CarsDirect to quickly get an idea of what you should be paying.
