I have never leased a car previously, and my initial plan was to look at a purchase of a CLA in the December time frame. However from what I can tell by today's postings, the leasing intro special seems to be very good, so I would consider leasing in September to take advantage of it.
I have two goals - pay the least amount of money total over the three year period and protect myself in the event the car is damaged. My credit history should allow me to qualify for the most favorable rates, and it doesn't matter if I pay up front, over time, etc. In other words I'm not concerned about the monthly cost, but how to minimize the total overall cost.
Given that - how do I want to structure a lease?
Assuming my target price is $36K (before tax, fees, etc.) what should I expect my cash outlay to be for a 10K/year and 12K/year, 3 year lease?
Hopefully I've provided the right info for your help. Thanks in advance!
