It’s coming up to that time of year again when people all over the country have a little extra cash thanks to their tax refunds. Naturally, many people like to use that influx of capital to invest in things like upgrading their old, beat-up cars, trucks, or SUVs that have seen better days. After all, you deserve to have the vehicle you’ve always wanted, but you may think buying isn’t a great idea with the state of the car market right now.
That’s where the benefit of used car leasing comes in. You can get the car you’ve always wanted, whether or not you want to use a tax refund as a down payment. And on top of that, you can do it while paying lower monthly payments than buying a new vehicle. So, today, your friends at Drivrz Financial wanted to take a moment to share the top 12 car models that we’ve leased used so far in 2022.
