Best Lease Scenario (Money wise)

So I've been throwing around the idea of leasing instead of buying this time around. I don't drive much, at most 10-12k a year so it seems to make sense.

So I wanted to ask you lease gurus if the following is the best way to lease from a financial perspective?

- European Delivery
- No Money Down
- Max out multiple security deposits

Thanks in advance

This is exactly the way I see it, and am doing it. I also only put 10K a year on a car. The 10K gains you a few percentage points on the residual. Just make sure your lease gives you enough miles. It's much cheaper to have the additional 2,000 miles in your lease than to pay the overage on 2,000 miles.

you can always buy miles during your lease if your driving situation changes, cheaper than paying an overage at lease end.

Do you know if this rate is typically the same during the lease as it would be at the lease signing, or is there an up-charge?

it's actually $.15 at lease signing and then $.16 up to 6 months before lease end and then $.20 at lease end.
