When you’re looking for a new vehicle, deciding whether to buy it with a loan or to lease it is a tough choice. Leasing a car is not for everyone. But, once you have decided to lease, how do you get the best deal? Here are some tips to help you. 

Work Out Your Budget

When you’re leasing a car, you will be tied into the deal for the next few years. It’s important to know that you can make the monthly payments without stretching your budget. Work out how much you can afford each month and make sure you allow for the unexpected expenses that catch us all now and then.

Find a Fair Price for Your Car

While it’s tempting to opt for a fancy car with all the extras, you need to be realistic. When you decide on the car you want, use pricing websites to determine a fair sale price. Check manufacturer and dealership websites to find any special offers in your area.

Choose a Car That Holds Its Value

As part of a car leasing deal, you will be paying for how much the car’s value depreciates over the period of the lease. The residual value is the difference between the price of the car when new and its resale value. Many motoring websites publish lists of cars with the best and worst residual values, and you can save money by studying them.

For example, according to CarProUSA, after five years, a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited has a residual value of 70%. Surprisingly, the Nissan Leaf only retains 29% of its value. The average depreciation rate is 49.1%. Read the rest of this entry »
