Leasing a $25,000 car typically costs about $300 to $430 per month before tax, or roughly $325 to $460 per month including taxes and common fees, assuming a 36-month lease, good credit, 10,000 to 12,000 miles per year, and little money down. For example, if a $25,000 vehicle has a negotiated price around $24,250, a 57% residual value, and a 0.00200 money factor (about 4.8% APR equivalent), the payment comes out to roughly $385 per month before tax. Your exact lease payment can be lower or higher depending on the selling price, residual value, money factor, mileage allowance, manufacturer incentives, local taxes, dealer fees, and how much you pay at signing.
