I’m often asked, ‘when is the best time to lease a car?’ Leaseloco shows the daily historical price of every model and we show this on a graph just like a stock market. Before founding Leaseloco I sample tested the market. The inner geek in me had me constantly reviewing deals on a wide range of cars so it was obvious to me that the cost of each lease fluctuated.

I’m often asked, ‘when is the best time to lease a car?’ Leaseloco shows the daily historical price of every model and we show this on a graph just like a stock market. Before founding Leaseloco I sample tested the market. The inner geek in me had me constantly reviewing deals on a wide range of cars so it was obvious to me that the cost of each lease fluctuated.

My own lease was coming up for renewal and I had an Audi S3 in mind. I had seen it for £265 a month on 9 + 23, 10k p.a. It was sitting around £330 for the same car as I was approaching my renewal order time. That’s over £2k extra on the lease term! It was still a good deal but I couldn’t bring myself to order the car knowing that I was overpaying and would likely see the price drop again later in the year.

But it also works both ways, I ended up going for an Audi S5 on a deal that I knew was the cheapest it’s ever been. That market knowledge helped me to pull the trigger with more confidence.

It got me thinking — how do YOU know a deal is really a good deal when you’re not looking at the market all the time. £330 for the S3 was still pretty good, sure. But it’s not as good as you could get.
