Recommendation for a leasing company?

I just purchased a 1999 355 and was interested in leasing options. The dealer I worked with had these as suggestions.

http://www.putnamleasing.com/

http://www.premierfinancialservices.com/

Both do a lot of exotic cars and have tailored programs that are pretty interesting. In the end I went with straight financing with http://www.jjbest.com/ (violating the rule of paying cash for my toys but keeping some "drypowder" if the economy begins a downward path)

 

Stay as far away as you can from leasing brokers!!!

These brokers use multiple banks to get you the best loan possible.

Each bank will run a hard inquiry on your TRW leaving you with multiple point dropping inquires on your report.

This can and will damage your credit for the next 2 years. Until the inquires are gone.

This happened to a friend of mine trying to buy a lambo merci, he merely wanted to weigh out his options on a lease or all out pay up front cash type of purchase.

He too traveled out of the country a fair amount of time. Long story short.

He had 8 inquires from 8 banks on his credit report. His credit score dropped and one of his credit card companies closed his account. I assume as fear he may be trying to gain multiple credit lines or may be a default risk.

I am not sure if any of the companies listed here are bank brokers but I recommend researching them thoroughly before committing especially if his credit is already in a vulnerable state.

 

Neither Premier or Putnam are brokers.

Juan Garcia at Premier Financial is an awesome guy to work with. I priced out a vehicle lease through him, but ultimately decided to execute a purchase instead of a lease. He was very responsive, friendly and upfront about their fees.

 

I just checked my credit report and no inquires on there so far.

 

Like the title says.
