These deals vary a lot by state. Colorado seems to have the best options for leases. Not sure about NY, but these cars aren’t flying off the lot, so you might have time to get a good deal.
Got a quote for about $480/month with no money down here in Oregon.
I paid about $8,700 upfront for a 2-year lease, which works out to roughly $360/month.
It would help to read up on how leases work before signing one. No offense, but some of your questions make me think leasing might not be the best choice for you.
After learning the basics, check out forums like leasehackr and see if a broker might save you time and hassle with a more straightforward price.
