Luxury Car Lease Compare

Luxury Car Lease Comparisons

The selection on the Luxury Car Lease for 2009 and 2010 so far, was a little disappointing. Due to the new model years on Lexus, Acura and BMW models, the track record for low, established residual (or resale values) hurts the luxury car leasing market, somewhat.

There are a couple of things required for a cheap car lease:

• High Resale (residual) Values.
• Low Interest Rates

For a high residual value and established track record is necessary. This isn't possible on the newly released designs of luxury cars. However, Interest rates are certainly low and there are many luxury cars with very high residual values do exist. So, what's the problem? Well, there are a few other things which have probably kept luxury cars lease offers from being what they should or could be. For one thing; unlike other trends, luxury items react a little different to the economy. Car Makers likely can't increase sales to the general public in a down economy on luxury cars. The majority of Car Buyers are shopping for bargains. Those of us who are interested in New Car Leasing, are looking for a cheap car lease rather than trying to decide whether or not to get that luxury BMW 335i with or without the Navigator Option. The Best Cars to Lease are usually the ones that have some type of incentive tied to them. It could be that it's at the tail end of a design phase; excess inventory of a very popular model; or any other number of reasons a car manufacturer has to move inventory. New Car Leasing is an attractive way to get potential car buying prospects to drive a car that is greater than what they could afford on a typical 60-month, low-interest car loan. So, really a luxury car lease offer is a marketing tool. The economic conditions of the last 2 years have probably resulted in manufacturers focusing on more practical car lease alternatives. So, rather than enticing us to take that step up into a luxury model, the incentive is to get us into a the cheapest car lease possible. If this sounds a little bit negative, take heart. There is some good news. Read the rest of this entry

Luxury Car Lease Comparison

As I completed the spreadsheet for the Top-10 Car Leases for November, I thought it would be interesting to do a comparison feature on luxury cars. This particular car lease comparison feature is for cars $40,000 and above. Unfortunately, not all car makers are publicly listing lease offers these days. So, if you are wondering why Lexus and Mercedez Benz are being left out of my car lease ratings comparisons, I am wondering the very same thing. Unfortunately, neither Lexus nor Mercedes are advertising any lease specials this month. I have no doubt I could visit my Stevenson Lexus Dealer in nearby Lakewood, CO and get a lease quote, but for some reason Lexus is not advertising any specials online. Mercedes did have some lease offers recently, so I will assume they will be back online soon.
