Used-car leasing has become more popular as the economy worsens. It seems to offer a less expensive way to drive a vehicle than new-car buying or leasing, or even used-car buying. But is it all it seems?

The apparent advantages of used-car leasing are:

* You avoid a brand new car’s rapid first-year depreciation

* Used car prices are lower than new-car prices, for the same make/model

* Late model used cars might have remaining manufacturer’s warranty

When compared with new-car leasing, used-car leasing is more complex. Let’s look at some of the reasons:

* New cars have an established MSRP sticker price, on which future depreciation (lease residual value) is based; used cars do not

* New cars have industry-established residual values; used cars don’t

* New cars often have manufacturer-sponsored lease deals and rebates; used cars don’t

* New cars come with a full manufacturer’s warranty; used cars do not

However, for used cars, setting residuals isn’t so simple. There aren’t any standard prices on which to base residuals. Condition and mileage can vary widely, even for vehicles of the same year, make, and model. Prices could be different in different parts of the country.

New-car leases have full manufacturers’ warranties, which means a leasing consumer is protected for the life of his lease as long as he chooses a lease term (months) that is no longer than the length of the warranty. A late-model used car may come with some remaining warranty but usually not enough to pay a normal 3-year lease.

Does this show that leasing a used car is not a good idea?

Not necessarily. It’s very possible to have a great deal on a used car lease, although a bit difficult to evaluate.

The best way to evaluate a used car lease is usually to do a couple of comparisons. First, compare your lease payments to loan payments for the same vehicle, same terms (months), and same down payment, if any. Also compare your used-car lease payments to lease payments for a new car from the same make and model with comparable equipment. In the two cases, if you are used-car lease payments are not significantly less than either of the two comparisons, it might not be good deal.

Finding the best auto car insurance is a matter of shopping around, asking friends and ensuring to qualify for every discount available. It is also important to make sure to find the right kind of auto insurance.

Individuals who have just purchased a new vehicle or have a vehicle that is not paid for need to opt for an insurance policy rider which covers the replacement costs of the vehicle or pays the automobile off in full in the event that the automobile is totaled, this is called GAP insurance.

Almost all auto insurance policies pay the amount the vehicle is worth on the day that it is damaged, the car’s Actual Cash Value or ACV, not necessarily the amount that is still owed on it.

Several vehicle bankers will offer this kind of rider included in the financing option, but auto owners also needs to determine before placing your signature to the financing offer if they can get the same service from their standard insurance company. Generally speaking, going through your regular insurance agency will mean that it costs less.

Persons purchasing auto insurance for the first time will also need to determine which kind of insurance they need. For vehicle that is financed, full coverage insurance will be needed. This type of auto insurance will pay the amount the auto is worth, minus the deductible, after the car had been damaged, it doesn’t matter who is at fault for the damage.

Once you have determined what your auto insurance needs will be, it is very important ask around to find the right company and agent for you. Price needs to be a consideration, but you should also look at their reputation for handling claims promptly.

Several insurance providers also offer reductions for multi-policies held by the same person, so think about having your home or life insurance through the same company as your car insurance.
