10 Brand NEW Cars You Should NEVER Lease

There are ten kinds of brand new car on lots right now that cost thousands more to lease than the car parked next to them. Same dealer, same month, same payment structure — the difference is one number the finance office already knows and won't volunteer. That number is the residual value. On a $50,000 car, the gap between a 55% and a 65% residual is $5,000 in depreciation — about $139 a month over 36 months, on the identical car at the identical price. And you can't negotiate it. In this video: the ten patterns that wreck a lease, how to spot each one on the lot in about thirty seconds, and the three numbers to demand in writing before anyone mentions a monthly payment. The worst one is #1, and people walk into it willingly. If you pay over sticker, that money isn't in the residual calculation at all — you finance every dollar of it, then hand the car back owning nothing. Which of these did you find out about the hard way? #newcars #lease #caradvice
