CHICAGO, Feb. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Cars.com, the
leading online resource for buying and selling new and used cars,
issued a selection of high-value lease specials offered by
manufacturers in February 2014. As
winter storms continue to grip most of the country, low interest
rates and above-average residual values facilitate deals on several
SUVs and top-selling cars. A growing purchase option for consumers,
vehicle leases now account for 25% of all new vehicle sales.
Cars.com's calculations factor advertised monthly payment, lease
term, allowed mileage and down payment to highlight vehicles that
offer the best value to shoppers.
"We're in a perfect storm of favorable leasing conditions," said
Jesse Toprak, Chief Analyst at
Cars.com. "Residual values continue to maintain at near-record
levels and interest rates are at historic lows, both of which make
lease payments more affordable for consumers. If you've never
leased before, this is the time to consider it, as leasing offers
the luxury of a brand new car, with a full warranty, without the
commitment of ownership."
