Not only has the G35 dominated the #1 spot for the last two years on the new list, but for the first time it has broken through on the used list. The G35 debuted with the BMW 325 and the Audi A4 as popular used car leases for the first quarter of 2005. These three favorite vehicles also appear on both lists showing that they hold their appeal to customers over time.
"With interest rates on the rise and gasoline prices at record levels, leasing is gaining steam," says Tarry Shebesta, President of ACS and a certified lease consultant. "Leasing a new or used vehicle helps take the bite out of the high cost of fuel prices by lowering monthly expenses since lease payments are much lower than conventional financing."
LeaseCompare.com, as the name suggests, provides a tool to instantly evaluate leasing options from a number of sources. Customers can lock in the lease quote they like and apply for credit online. ACS facilitates leases that customers choose from LeaseCompare.com.
