Leasing a new car can be a big set of headaches unless you know what you're doing.
If you're leasing a car to enjoy the latest models or getting better purchasing flexibility, you need a good deal. Trust me, it'll give you a lift!

Here's some tactics to use when leasing your new car:

Incentives

Check for factory-subsidized lease deals. Manufacturers are fully aware of consumers that are leasing from them are more often than not repeat customers.
Manufacturers are known to offer low finance charge by adjusting the residual value.
They also give customers incentives on leasing-leasing subventions. These are offered to put slow-selling models on the street, saving you even more
money.

Bidding

In order to get the best price, set up a competitive bidding environment. Come in with the make, model and trim level of the car you want in mind. You'll then be able to better calculate the kind of lease payment you want without overpaying. Go online and check the comparison tools to check your lease payment based on purchase price. You may also use a lease calculator. Doing this, you'll get greater negotiation leverage when you solicit quotes from all of the various leasing companies.

Fees

It is key that you know all of the fees involved when you begin your car leasing deal. These fees include:
-licenses
-registration
-title
-acquisition
-freight
-local and/or state taxes
At the end of the lease, be aware that you may have to pay a disposition fee and be charged for extra mileage and excess wear. Some fees, like acquisition and disposition fees, are negotiable.

Mileage

If you know your mileage needs, then you should know that most if not all leases have a limit on the number of miles per year. They usually impose 10 - 20 cents per excess mile over 15,000 miles a year. For example, if you're a commuter who typically drives over 40,000 miles a year, you may run thousands of dollars in penalties at lease-end. Be wise: negotiate a higher mileage limit or pad your excess miles at the beginning of your lease. This will help you to avoid super-high tax rates for excess miles. Remember:negotiate!

GAP Coverage

Make sure your leasing agreement includes GAP insurance.GAP insurance is protection for the loan in the event that the vehicle is lost as the result of an accident or theft. It covers you in case the car becomes wrecked, stolen or totalled. You may pay thousands of dollars in leased obligations if you don't have it. Make sure that GAP insurance is included in your lease initially so you don't have to double-pay.
