The 2004 imports, like the Touareg, are appealing lease choices due
to their naturally higher residual values. The fact that these vehicles
tend to hold their value and that leasing offers attractive monthly
payments continues to drive leasing of these new models.
The vehicles on these lists are being leased by an increasingly
savvy public. "Alternative financing sources, like LeaseCompare.com,
have shown steady growth," notes Tarry Shebesta, president and owner of
ACS. "Even those consumers who choose to lease through traditional
means, like dealers or banks, are using online sources for information
and price comparisons."
LeaseCompare.com, as the name suggests, provides a tool to instantly
evaluate leasing options from a number of sources. Customers can lock in
the lease quote they like and apply for credit online. As an independent
leasing company, ACS facilitates the entire leasing process.
