MIAMI – LeaseTrader.com, a car lease transfer company, announced its monthly Index for December, with the BMW 3 Series topping the list of America’s most preferred leased vehicle for the third straight month.

The BMW 3 Series offers luxury and space while delivering a quiet and comfortable driving experience. The car is among BMW’s best all-time selling models due to its combination of power, agility, luxury, and high performance. Starting with the 3 Series, BMW continues to set the standard for upscale high performance luxury vehicles catering to people who think driving should be an exciting experience.

“The BMW 3 Series continues to be the most popular car on our site because it’s a marriage of both luxury and affordability,” said Sergio Stiberman, CEO and founder of LeaseTrader.com. “Despite the slowing economy, people still want to enjoy a trendy car with great performance. The BMW 3 Series delivers at a price point that is very budget-friendly.”

LeaseTrader.com publishes a monthly Index of America’s most preferred vehicles for lease transfer. The Index is based off user activity on the Web site, which includes thousands of today’s vehicles in almost every brand, make and model.

Anti-Idling Programs: A Quick Way to Reduce Fuel Spend

By Mike Antich
Reducing unnecessary idling is the simplest and easiest way for a fleet to reduce fuel costs.

Credit Gridlock Will Impede Sales of Used Fleet Vehicles

By Mike Antich
The bread-and-butter customers of out-of-service fleet vehicles are buyers with C and D credit, namely subprime buyers. However, funders have tightened underwriting standards to manage these higher risk borrowers. Some lenders have caps on how low a FICO score they are willing to fund, which is often above the threshold of subprime borrowers. If this continues, it will have significant long-term implications for the sale of used fleet vehicles.
