  • Lower Monthly Payments from a cash flow standpoint. You only pay for depreciation during the term, monthly payments are 30%-60% lower than equivalent car loans.
  • Lower Up-Front Cash Outlay. Supposedly. Car leases should require little or no down payment, but some dealers require $2000-$7000 down. You can walk out if you don't like it
That is what I am saying, our payments would be identical according to his lease amount they are requesting. I put nothing down on the car either, and my payments are the same. I would agree if his payments would be 30%-60% lower, but they are the same.
