Leasing a new vehicle

[TomK]

There are upfront costs (fees, taxes etc). You can pay them up front or have them rolled into the lease payments, or at least that's what I did. If your current car is worth anything, you can use it as part exchange in the deal. I paid for maintenance on the second car but the first one had free maintenance as long as it was brought in for service within a 1,000 miles of the service schedule. It all depends on what deal you can negotiate.

I'm sure there are buying vs. lease calculators on the web, maybe try one of those? If I find a good one I'll let you know.
