CINCINNATI, Ohio – Wantalease.com, the nation’s first online car lease marketplace for new lease deals, reports the latest update on new lease offerings for the month of April. Many lease payments are holding steady from March to April. Compact cars, full-size cars and large pickup lease payments all held stead while many luxury car brands decreased their payments. Certain small pickup brands and small SUV brands, on the other hand, increased lease payments.  

It looks like we’re starting to see some payment increases for many vehicle segments that are in high demand and low supply at the dealerships.

This month marks a significant decrease in lease payments for many luxury car brands in recent months. The largest decreases for the month included the Infiniti Q50 with a -10.04% decrease, the BMW 530i with a -6.65% decrease, and the Mercedes-Benz E350 4MATIC with a -4.31% decrease.

Currently, both the Honda Civic and the Ford Focus are priced the lowest of all leases coming in at just $159 per month. The Nissan Sentra leasing rate continues to hold steady from last month and is listed at $169 per month.
