The best candidates for a lease are people who would normally get a new car every 2-3 years, and are not particularly concerned about the higher long-term costs of that practice. Luxury-car buyers are usually good candidates for leases because automakers frequently offer subsidized leases with reduced down payments and dramatically lower monthly payments.
If you’re tempted to get one of those new electric cars, be sure to lease it. Their batteries currently cost about $15,000 and you wouldn’t want to be stuck with that bill.
