All New 2012 Volkswagen Passat Lease Deal
We don’t often talk about a single car make/model in these articles but the all-new 2012 Volkswagen Passat deserves some of our extra attention.

Subaru Has Most Lease Deal Choices
If you visit this web site often, you may see that most car companies offer special car lease deals each month.

Honda is Back in September With New Incentives
You can always count on Honda for new incentives every month. Such is the case for September — and October.

How to Lease a Car
We frequently talk about great car lease deals on this web site but we don’t spend much time talking about how to lease a car. If you have never leased before or only infrequently, leasing can be a bit intimidating, confusing, or even frightning. Leasing a car is not renting. It’s a form of financing [...]

Why Are Leases Better?
Why are special lease deals offered by car companies better than any other type of incentives? It’s true that lease payments are always less than loan payments for the same car, same term, and same down payment — even with a 0% APR loan. But that doesn’t necessarily make leasing a better deal. And it [...]

Toyota has announced a number of very good lease deals for August 2011. We’ll discuss the details of these new lease incentives in a moment but be aware that, depending on where you live in the U.S., the deals might vary in details. This is because if you live in the Southeast U.S. (Georgia, Alabama, [...]
Good Mercedes-Benz Leases Offered
You won’t catch Mercedes-Benz offering rebates, price discounts and other incentives that make them appear to be a “discount” car brand. The luxury image might be damaged. However, the Mercedes-Benz company does offer special lease deals from time-to-time that are genuinely good deals but hide the fact that the vehicles are being discounted. Such is the case [...]
How to Evaluate Car Lease Deals
As you may already know from visiting this web site, many automakers regularly offer special limited-time car lease deals. Are these good deals, or just some dealer trick to get you into the store? Lease deals are more difficult to evaluate than simple purchase deals. When you purchase a car, price is the only factor [...]

Best Car Deals for June 2011
We’ll say it right up front — June 2011 is not a month with lots of great car incentives, although there are exceptions and we’ll try to point those out here. Because of shortages of both vehicles and parts created by the recent Japanese earthquake, automakers are not offering nearly the number of great incentives in June that [...]
Outstanding Lease Deals From Nissan
Nissan doesn’t normally have any truly outstanding lease deals in its monthly incentive lineup, but this month (May 2011) is different.

Best Lease Vehicles
If you understand how car leasing works (if you don’t, go to LeaseGuide.com), you know that vehicles with projected high resale values make the best lease vehicles. That’s because future resale value — called residual value in leasing — is one of the primary factors in determining monthly lease payments. The higher the residual value, [...]
