Know What Car You Want
Before you start looking to compare leasing options, you should know what car you want. If you don't have a specific model in mind, at least know what kind of car you need. Are you looking for something to transport your family around in? Do you just need a small commuter car? Are you looking for a luxury car that will turn heads? This will help you when you prepare to start looking for a lease rather than going at it blindly.
Know Your Price Range
You need to have an idea of how much you can afford every month before you start looking. If you can only afford $400, then you need to look for cars that you can get for $350 or under. Don't push right up against your budget. You also need to know that even with a lease a sticker price isn't etched in stone. All sticker prices, regardless of the financing situation, are negotiable.
Use Online Tools
If you've found a car you want, and you have found what you think is a good deal, then go online and find a Lease Deal Evaluation Calculator (available at many automotive sites) to determine if the deal really is that good. These tools will show you quickly if the deal is worth it.
Find Deals through the Media
When you are looking for good lease companies, don't discount ads that can be found in newspapers and on radio and television. Use the newspapers to find information on short term deals being offered directly through the manufacturer. You can go online to find a lot of these incentives as well. Visiting a few internet message boards or forums can give you an idea of actual customer experiences as well. The great companies are out there, you just have to know where to look.
