what is the best lease deal out there?
small awd suv or medium sized sedan.

anyone work at a dealership?
i got great credit and cash to spend.

the lower the payment the better.

all ideas welcome.

My dad just traded in his Audi A6 (i know, but he liked it and he got a deal) for a chevy volt about 2 months ago. It virtually costs nothing to drive... $30 more on the electric bill lol.. but after the charge it still gets really good MPGs

He was spending $200 a average a month in repairs and $200 in gas a month. His lease is around those added together and insurance is cheaper.

I will say it is different, but it's fun as hell to drive and shockingly (lol) fast. It's a real head turner and people always make comments. On the downside, it is really easy

My only concern would be winter driving, but its an excuse to get another 4x4 for the really bad days ;)

Ford seems to have decent lease offers most of the time. Check out the Fusion, it's a pretty great car and with a new one coming up in '13, I bet you get a decent deal for sure.

That is because electric motors do not have to rev up. They can have 100% power almost instantly! A lot of electric cars are pretty quick

If you want to look at Ford I can hook you up. Also I can get you hooked up with just about all makes and models. I work for the Suburban Collection and we have one of just about every brand.
Fusions are a great lease deal right now. By far the best bang for the buck however we are just about sold out of remaining 2012 inventory. Ford is doing a complete body style change for 2013.

If I can help you out let me know

Why lease? Just Curious what the benefit would be rather then just buying one. I never got why people lease.

CSFJ · September 4th, 2012, 08:15 PM

I know that we're getting the 2013 Accords in sometime soon, so all the 2012s that are left will be discounted.

mostly cause my wife should drive a new vehicle every 2 or 3 years.
its one thing if im stuck on the side of the road. very different if she is.
im away alot, and work odd hours, often 14 hrs a day. i cant go save her.
she needs a vehicle i can trust.

i might not be leasing anyway. i was looking into leases. i saw/heard of 189 per month for a traverse, and 209 a month for a grand cherokee. i knew that was employee pricing, and i would pay more. i was told more like 350 per month, and im not gonna pay that. 250 to 275 i would do.

looking used again, or possibly econobox sedan new.

You get a new car every 2-3 years, the only maintenance involved is oil changes, tire rotations, and air filters. Never have to worry about major repairs because it is under warranty.

I've always wondered this too. I sat down once and did the math and realized it seems to be worth the money only if you are leasing a high-end or luxury vehicle and you plan on getting a new one every 24 months or so. Oh well... to each their own.

Are you a salesman? My wife and I are looking at a new Flex (or possibly a Town & Country but I am trying to steer her towards the Flex). We were out there in Troy wandering around the lots this past weekend.

If you go econobox sedan look at the new Focus they get great mileage and we have great buy and lease deals on them.

X2. Dana is awesome to deal with.

WSU JK · September 5th, 2012, 08:31 AM

Ahhh... so that's the infamous "Dana" I see mentioned on here. I think he even handled the lease for the girl in the cube next to me earlier this summer. Small world.
