My Take: This is just for giggles. I clearly do not intend on making a recommendation on the S40. The car itself is so-so (this is personal opinion of course, I’m sure there are plenty of S40 fans out there) and the lease rates are clearly horrific. However, if you actually plan on leasing one of these, you might want to “help me, help you” by visiting LeaseCompare (big banner add above the site), it could save you hundreds. Of course, you can always opt to go into the dealership with your own bank financing you or ask them to provide you with rates of other banks they work with. I’m sure they would be more than willing to help in that regard.
