CINCINNATI -

Used-vehicle leasing may be having a moment.

According to a recent survey by Swapalease.com, 78.7 percent of drivers would consider leasing a used car or truck, and 74 percent of dealers indicated that used lease offers may help or definitely would help move the influx of leases coming back onto their lots.

A majority of drivers (75 percent) said they would want a monthly payment that is 20 percent to 30 percent lower than the original payment on the same car as a new vehicle. For example, most people said they would expect a BMW 3 Series originally priced at $400 a month to then be priced at $250 or $275 monthly as a 3-year-old lease. Likewise, 44 percent of dealers polled said they would offer a 3-year-old lease at 25 percent to 35 percent off the original monthly payment as new.

Other findings:

—While only 21.2 percent of dealers said they felt warranty issues are important to shoppers considering a used car or truck lease, 95.3 percent of drivers said they would expect a warranty to be offered on such a lease.

— Drivers said their top three choices for domestic cars and trucks as a used lease would be Cadillac Escalade, Cadillac CTS and Jeep Cherokee. Conversely, most dealers said they would want to offer used lease deals on a Buick Regal, Cadillac CTS and Chevrolet Cruze.

— The majority of drivers think more flexibility is needed overall in lease options. 54 percent said they would be interested in extending their lease between six and 12 months at lease end of the original term. Another 72 percent said they would be interested in transferring into a lease that was older than three years. Finally, 37 percent said they would like to work with a dealer who could help them get out of their lease without penalty if it meant they could purchase or lease a new or different vehicle.

—Nearly half (47 percent) of dealers said they would like to make car shopping more like shopping for an iPhone, where consumers get a new smartphone every two years.

Surveys were administered online to more than 2,500 drivers and 250 auto executives at dealerships throughout the U.S.
