Save money on a cheap car lease and used car leasing

Most people are already aware of the benefits of leasing a new vehicle, but used car  leasing is also an attractive deal. If you are looking for a cheap car lease then a used car lease may be right for you if you are ready to do a little foot work to find a really good deal.

Just like the new car lease you will want to focus on the value of the vehicle first to plan what a reasonable leasing rate will be. With a new car lease the value is higher since the value has not depreciated yet, but with used car leasing the depreciation has already begun so the value of the vehicle is less than if it were new.

Sources such as your local dealership, Edmunds.com as well as the car manufacture website will help you to get an idea of the value of the used car you are considering.

The Portland area has a number of reputable dealerships that can help assess the value of a used car. Acura of Portland, Wentworth Chevrolet Subaru and Broadway Toyota are just a few of the many dealerships that Portland has to offer.

Another benefit of used car leasing is that because the car is less valuable, some companies do no credit check deals, so if you have bad credit history thats no problem!

Because the depreciation amounts vary from brand to brand you will often find a better deal with a high end lease; just because you are looking for a cheap car lease doesn’t mean you have to rule out the luxury vehicles.

A cheap car lease can be found in leasing a used Lexus, Jaguar or BMW as well as a Toyota, Volvo or Cadillac. Of course you can still find a decent cheap car lease in a used Mazda 6, Honda Civic or Buick LaCrosse as well as a Dodge Avenger or Chrysler Sebring.

Your next step in determining the value of the vehicle is by looking at the mileage and overall condition of the car. You will want to look for a car that has not had more than 12,000 miles per year put on it.

Additionally you will want to look for indicators of excessive use such worn seats and pedal pads as well as a dirty engine. If the vehicle is not already certified, you will want it to be fully inspected to be certain of its condition before signing any lease.

Finally when signing a used car lease you will want to be certain that it comes with gap insurance. This insurance is typically used on new car leases and will protect the consumer should the leased vehicle be lost, stolen or damaged.

Without the gap insurance the insurance company will generally only cover what the vehicle is worth at the time of loss and now what is left on the lease.

The difference in these two numbers could equal thousands of dollars and leave you hurting financially.

With a decent amount of research, footwork and homework you can find a great deal on a cheap car lease and drive away in a great used car. Be cautious and make sure you have the right and adequate insurance before signing any contracts.
