A good leasing deal is a combination of four elements (don’t just look at the advertised monthly payments): [a] Low OTR price. [b] Low lease factor (interest rate). [c] Low administration fee [d] High residual value. A win-win situation. Buying would probably require me dipping into my <a>savings account</a> and in this present climate is not ideal.

A win-win situation. Buying would probably require me dipping into my savings account and in this present climate is not ideal.

I usually sell them at about that time and I get quite a decent price too. usually the new dealer has paid me a price that beats the Kelly Blue book value for selling to a private owner. I couldn't imagine obtaining a new car every three years in my situation. I drive just under 2000 miles a year, so my cars look great after 10 years.
