2014 v 2015 Honda CR-V EX-L AWD no nav Lease Decision

I am so confused about how to calculate a good lease deal. Have always bought (financed) but have never owned outright, as I always trade while still owing some on my loan. I fit the profile of someone for whom leasing makes sense, but no matter how much I read about leasing I just cannot figure out how to come up with the best deal. And now added to the basic confusion about how lease calculations work is the impact of getting to the end of one model year and the start of another - do I wait for the 2015s to come out and have better luck negotiating a 2014? Should I go for a 2015? Help please!

    You REALLY need to read up on how leases work before you jump in. I'm sure you can find what you need to know right here in one of these forums.

    Leasing a 2015 may be the better deal since the residuals will be higher thus negating any "savings" you may get on a 2014.

    That was MY thought about the 2015s too .... From what I've been able to ascertain from online articles and forums about leasing vs buying, the older model year may sell at a better deal because dealers want to be rid of them, but the new model year may lease at a better deal because the residual value will be higher. I'll keep reading .. .maybe it will all make sense to me eventually! Thanks.

    That would indicate high inventory levels and a desire to thin the herd.

    A 3 year lease - all other things being equal, go for the lowest monthly price - you won't own it all that long. I think kyfdx makes a good point on the mileage option you pick. Going over can be expensive and put you in a "can't use it much" situation toward the end.
