In the second quarter, the average monthly payment on a lease was $431, up from $419 a year ago, according to Edmunds.com.

That also marked the highest Q2 average since 2011, when payments averaged $434 a month.

“Leasing has been a major force in elevating new-car sales for the past three years,” Edmunds said in its Q2 Used Vehicle Market Report. “But as we begin to see a higher number of lease returns enter the used-car market, residual values are beginning to dip, which will likely mean higher prices for lessees.”

For the time being, it does appear there are still some “aggressive” deals to be found, according to an analysis from Wantalease.com, an online new-car lease marketplace.

The sister site to Swapalease.com said that several car models are currently being offered with leases under $150 per month, including the $109/month Nissan Sentra SV.

The others include the Volkswagen Jetta S ($129), Toyota Corolla LE ($139), Ford Fusion SE FWD ($139) and the Volkswagen Passat 1.8T Limited Edition ($149).

On the truck side of the market, Wantalease spotted four models under $200/month: Nissan Rogue S FWD ($179), Toyota RAV4 LE FWD ($179) Chevrolet Equinox 2WD LT ($189) and Honda CR-V LX 2WD ($199).

The analysis also uncovered two luxury models with sub-$300 monthly payments: Audi A3 1.8T Premium ($279) and the Infiniti Q50 3.7 Premium ($299).

"We expect lease deals to continue with an aggressive push as we get deeper into the year since manufacturers and dealers will try to find every opportunity to improve sales figures from the previous year, which broke many records," Scot Hall, executive vice president at Wantalease, said in the analysis.

The site also pointed out that the largest month-over-month discount was found on the Chrysler 300 RWD, whose payment offer fell 24.3 percent to $280. Conversely, the biggest increase was for the Ram 1500 Express Crew Cab 4X4 5'7'', whose payments were up 54 percent at $453.
