Domestic Vehicle Searches Up on Swapalease.com in month of March
(CINCINNATI, April 13, 2009): Swapalease.com, the world’s largest lease marketplace, released a list of the top 10 most searched vehicles during March 2009. The Cincinnati-based company reports that overall vehicle searches were up from the previous month, and searches for two GMC models nearly tripled since February.
Although BMW dominates the list for the third consecutive month this year -- maintaining half of the top searches for the month of March -- the bigger story is the increase in buyer searches for larger, domestic vehicles.
The GMC Acadia moved ahead of the BMW 5 Series and the GMC Sierra jumped up ahead of the BMW X5 and 7 Series models, respectively, perhaps reflecting a newfound confidence in GM vehicles with last month's news of a possible government bailout.
- BMW 3 Series
- Mercedes-Benz E Class
- GMC Acadia
- BMW 5 Series
- GMC Sierra C/K 1500 Pickup
- BMW X5 Series
- BMW 7 Series
- Cadillac Escalade
- BMW 6 Series
- Mercedes-Benz S Class
Many consumers are hesitant to make big-ticket purchases, so leasing remains a popular alternative for people who still need to get into a new car whether it is for financial reasons or lifestyle changes such as starting a family. Lease transfers, in which car shoppers can take over a lease midstream is a particularly attractive option as there is no down payment and a short-term commitment attached to it.
Swapalease.com pioneered lease transfers online 10 years ago and uses a patented process to assist those who want to exit their lease early as well as those looking to take over someone else's lease.
"Lease transfers have long been popular, but the recession has created even more of a reason to use our site to find someone to take over your lease or to find a great deal on an in-process lease," says Scot Hall, EVP of Operations. "Our process is a win-win-win situation for the lease sellers, buyers and banks because everyone walks away saving money and protecting their bottom line."
