When is the best time to lease a new vehicle….any info greatly appreciated.?
The best time to lease can be just about any time — any time that the car manufacturer is offering “subvented” deals. When you lease, a dealer can only do so much in terms of making a deal. Essentially, he can only change the vehicle price, on which the lease is based. However, with subvented deals, the manufacturer steps in with discounted prices, better residuals, and lower money factor (interest rate), which can result in a much better deal than the dealer could make alone. Watch for these deals advertised on TV, on the radio, or in the newspaper. It’s true that these kind of deals often come at end of model year when dealer may have excessive inventories of the old models, but choices are limited and you are leasing a one-year-old car.
