A simple Answer TO yOUr Question
Is a car with low depreciation always a good lease deal?
Not always. Low depreciation helps with the residual side of the lease equation, but the money factor (interest rate) and selling price also matter. A vehicle can have excellent residuals but still be a poor lease deal if the dealer refuses to negotiate on price or if the manufacturer sets a high money factor for that month. That said, strong residuals give you a structural advantage that is harder to overcome than a high sticker price. In general, low-depreciation vehicles offer better lease value on average, but you still need to verify the full deal before signing.

I had an amazing experience working with Mark Viegas! He helped me get a leased vehicle without ever having to step foot in a dealership. Mark handled all the negotiations, worked within my down payment and monthly budget, and made the entire process stress-free. The best part — he even had the car delivered right to my home! I couldn’t be happier with how smooth and easy everything was. Highly recommend Mark if you want a professional who truly takes care of everything from start to finish.
