Default Used car leasing questions

Hello Guys,

Due to my work outside the country, I have decided sell my LS and just lease the vehicle that I dream of. Maybe I drive around 4-5k per year.
My question is can I lease a used car?
Something like 2009 or 2010 with 5-7k miles on them. If so, how the financial work? When leasing a new car, companies have promotion rate but not sure about used cars.

Leasing a used car is pretty much non existent anymore. Though i have seen some dealerships promoting leasing a "Certified Pre-Owned" car so you may want to look into that. On the CPOs, the rates are gonna vary based on mileage, remaining value in the car, length of lease, etc.

Have you thought about taking over a lease? Sites like leasetrader let you take over a lease that someone can't afford anymore or just doesn't want. You just pickup where they left off, and a lot of them are offering "bonuses" for taking over their lease (give you some $$$ if you take it off their hands) Might be a good option for you if you don't want to lease a CPO.

Btw...what is this car you "dream of"?
