I don't doubt that there might be information about leasing CPO cars and how they are a great deal, etc. But in my experience, I've never witnessed a good deal on a lease on a CPO car.

1) The money factor (interest rate) is so high that it usually offsets any low residual.
2) Because so many new car manufacturers have good lease incentives, it usually costs the same or less to lease a new car.

So why pay the same amount for a used car as you could for a new one.

Also, I would never get a lease from swapalease either. You don't know how well or how poorly the original owner negotiated the deal. So you might get stuck with their bad deal even if they put money down..

I'm sure there are exceptions to the rule.. but again, none that I have witnessed.
