Default RE: HAS ANYBODY LEASED??

Leases are an option for many that write their cars off (or a portion of it) on business.

Leases are generally not for those who are looking at long term ownership or high mileage.

If the residuals are unknown or estimated very low at lease end, you can expect a large lease payment or a potential baloon at end.

If the lease payments are expensive, you may consider a long term loan that you can always pay off early if you have enough cash flow which equates to you buying it and not just renting it (which is generally what a lease is)

Chryslers have not been cars to maintain good residuals (my experience is that Lexus, Infinity & BMW generally are better than most)
