Auto leasing has exploded in popularity in the last few years, particularly as car buyers are being more challenged to find affordable automobile financing alternatives in a tough economy.

Yet, many automotive consumers don't know how car leasing really works, or how to determine if it's right for them. Many people now leasing are overpaying because they didn't know how to get a good deal — or how to recognize a bad deal. Others who could greatly benefit from leasing are shying away because they don't understand it or have misconceptions about it.
So if you're thinking about leasing a new car and want to understand how leasing works, or don't know if you should lease or buy — or simply need help with your current lease — . I am here to help.  Remember, knowledge is power — especially in car leasing.
As a professional auto consultant, I want to help educate car buyers on their options when purchasing/leasing a vehicle.  The more you know, the more likely you will receive a great deal.

Why Leasing?
As recently as twenty years ago, many automobile consumers had never heard of leasing, much less done it. Now, approximately 20% of all new cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans are leased. Approximately 75% of luxury cars are leased.
 
 
 
After a temporary slowdown a few years ago, car leasing is again growing in consumer popularity. Just look at the volume of lease ads in your local newspaper and on TV to get a notion of how popular automobile leasing has become, especially during times of economic troubles when consumers are looking for more affordable ways to meet their transportation needs.
Leasing provides an alternative method of financing an automobile that offers several benefits that are attractive and beneficial to many automotive consumers. In particular, leasing offers significantly lower monthly payments than a loan.  The ideal lease that benefits you the consumer is typically a 3 year term with 36k miles.  Going over 3 years is not really recommended unless it is a must for you to lower your payments.
