TTAC Customer Service: Five Lease Deals Under $200
Some TTAC readers complained that they never had the chance to cash in on the great $199 Volt lease deals. We apologize.
To prevent this from recurring, TTAC will keep at least one eye on sub $200 leases.
In fact, Kelley Blue Book put for us together a list of great lease deals, some for as little as $159 a month.
Says said Alec Gutierrez, senior market analyst at Kelley Blue Book:
“Those who need new wheels, but are holding tight to their purse strings, will find some incredible lease options this month due to unusual but favorable new-car market conditions. New-car shoppers more interested in low monthly payments in the short term, rather than long-term vehicle ownership, should act quickly on these great deals, as we expect conditions to change and deals to expire in the next 30-60 days.”

I'm so happy I'm not divorced and paying child support and make enough money that I can avoid these "penalty cars". A friend is currently, um, er, uhh, "enjoying" his Focus lease. He hates the damn thing (No problems, he just doesn't like it), and can hardly wait until it's gone, 1 month after his child support payments are over (Ex makes BIG money, so the kids will have no college worries), and he can move back up to something he actually might like. I would bet F150, if I could bet on what he ends up with.
Over the summer here in NYC, there were some pretty good deals on leases for the popular midsize sedans. Altima for $139, Accord for $169, Sonata for $179, all with zero down. Plaza Auto Leasing, Wheels to Lease, Diamond Leasing...the list goes on. Even those without top tier credit could get those payments or within $10/month. Then there was the $249 special (zero down) on the fully loaded G37 - including navi. All of a sudden a lot of those started showing up in my neighborhood...
