Lease vs Buying

Hello folks

I'm in the market for a new car.
I'm currently driving a 2010 Golf.

All the cars that i have owned in the past were purchase outright.
I'm interested in leasing a new car due to several reasons (new car every 2-3 years, i can invest the money that i have elsewhere, etc)

My question to the people here in the forum is, how do you haggle the price for a lease car.

Are you haggling the price for the monthly payments? or the final price? Or both (final price + monthly payment)?

I have never lease a car before so i'm not sure where to start in terms of haggling for a good deal.


Thanks

I would haggle the final price of the car which they should be able to take a couple thousand bucks off. You could start off like you are interested in buying then once you have a number talk to them about leasing.

As a rule of thumb for leasing negotiation, never work to a monthly target price. There are key parameters that dictate that monthly price like Interest rate and residual. These are the key one's that will drive the price. BMWs are usually good on residuals as they don't depreciate as fast as Audi for example.
