Leasing can be good for some people but not everyone. You can negotiate the price on a lease the same as if you were buying. Make sure you know the mileage limits that they are allowing you going in. Example 12,000 miles yr equals 36,000 total for a 36 month term any thing over 36,000 miles you will be charged as much as 0.15 to 0.20 cents a mile, this could add up if you drive a lot. If you are using the car for business you can buy miles up front and roll it into the payment which you might be able to deduct, ask your accountant Make sure you find vehicles with high residuals this will also help keep the payment down. Make sure you look at a Ford Red Carpet Option or GMAC Smart Buy with these two you have options at the end of your term. Just work your best deal like if you were going to buy the tell the dealer you want to look at a lease and make sure they don't raise the price on you.

I sold cars for Nissan for sometime. Do your homework on why you want to lease vs. own? Leasing for business use and low mile driving is OK. High mile driving better off buying and trading in in 12-24 months. Negotiating tips - make sure the car you want is the one right for you, color, size, terms, price, use... I would turn down first two or three offers. Unless the price is correct all along. Remember some cars ie. Saturn are not negotiable. The price is the price.

Lots of research beforehand. The lease cost is purchase price minus the residual (return) price divided by the number of months of the lease (plus tax and stuff). Remember the purchase price is always negotiable, even in a lease.

I personally wouldn't ever lease a car because you still have to make a down payment and monthly payments and at the end of the lease you give the car back! Why not buy a car instead and make your payments apply towards something so that you actually get to keep what you're paying for every month!?!

I agree with Answer Girl. For the price that many people pay to lease a car you could buy a used (or new small) car and you get to keep it!

Check with all the rental agencies - you would be surprised at the difference in rates for cars at the same locations. They even run special upgrades on the web pages or some credit cards get you a better deal. Otherwise, just be adorable when you arrive at the counter.

Never lease a car. You will be throwing your money away. If you can't afford loan payments, then go used.
If you can't afford to buy a car outright, then you have been mismanaging your money. If you took $385.00/mo. (Ave car payment) and put it into a mutual Fund, in 20 years, you'd have 4.3 Million dollars. or you can impress your friends and neighbors and lease a new car every four years, and eat dog food when you retire...
