I've leased 13 vehicles so far and there are some tricks to it.
Never ever go in thinking you'll put down a down payment.
The best month to pick up a cheap lease is December. So if you
can be happy with a 2006 on the lot you can get that pretty cheap.
The only leases that are worth it are 24 or 36 month leases.
If you go for the 36 month lease make sure you get 15,000 miles per year.
Short term interest rates determine the payments and right now
you can get a good 24 month lease because the car makers are
giving zero interest leases but they do limit the milage to 12,000
miles per year.
Don't buy any of the shit they try to add on like insurance or extended
drive train coverage or any of that shit. My last lease they tried to sell me $300 carpet cleaning !
Finally, go to one place and get the best lease price you can get with zero down on the car you want then go to all the other dealers and get them to beat the price with all taxes included etc..
I've found that the payment will go down $100-$200 per month after you blow them off for a week or so and in December they will go pretty low !
