With the popularity of the newly redesigned BMW 325 and 330 Series, the G35 finally gave up its number 1 ranking.

"With interest rates on the rise and gasoline prices at record levels, people are looking for ways to save money and leasing is an excellent financing option," says Tarry Shebesta, President of ACS and a certified lease consultant. "Leasing a new or used vehicle helps take the bite out of the high cost of fuel prices. Lease payments are typically much lower than conventional finance payments."
