As lease prices climb, 16 models still below $199

Wantalease.com reported on Wednesday that prices on most of today’s popular leases are increasing slightly entering January.

However, analysts found there are 16 models still being offered for $199 monthly or less, and one unit still has a lease deal for less than $150 monthly. That’s for the Nissan Sentra SV at $139 per month.

Wantalease.com recollected that the Sentra SV was offered at $109 per month in November, but that vehicle, including several others, have seen their monthly price offers increase. What's more, the Volkswagen Jetta S ($199 monthly) is the only car offered for less than $200 with $0 down payment required.

Similar to what was offered in November, four small utilities are on the list for less than $200 monthly (Ford Escape FWD SE at $169; Chevrolet Equinox 2WD LT at $189; Nissan Rogue S FWD at $189; and the Honda CR-V LX 2WD at $199).

Two luxury models are offered currently at less than $300 monthly: The Acura ILX at $219 per month, and the Audi A3 2.0T FWD Premium offered at $299 monthly.

Analysts went on to mention the BMW 330i saw the largest price decline from November and December with its monthly lease offer dropping 13.1 percent. The model is currently offered at $349 per month.

The Honda Ridgeline RT 2WD also saw a noticeable price drop, with its offer falling 12.5 percent from November levels. It is currently offered at $491 per month.
