In the ever-changing world of automotive leasing, the past few years have been a whirlwind. For many, the vehicle inventory shortage of 2022 and 2023 brought higher prices, steep interest rates, and limited options. Those who leased during this period often faced record-high payments as they navigated a constrained market.
But today’s landscape looks very different. The dust has settled, and leasing customers are exploring new opportunities in a more competitive environment. Enter CarCostCanada® (CCC) and LeaseBusters (LB)—two trusted names in the automotive world—now working together to help Canadian drivers transition seamlessly from one lease to the next.
CarCostCanada: The New Lease on Leasing
CarCostCanada has revolutionized new car leasing with its Market Value Report (MVR), a comprehensive tool designed to give lessees and buyers an edge. This feature-rich resource provides everything you need to make smart leasing decisions, from updated leasing rates for 95% of vehicles sold in Canada to details about subsidized interest rates and residual value optimization.
Among its standout features is the Mathbox, an interactive calculator that helps members compare lease terms—whether it’s 24, 36, or 48 months—so they can choose what’s best for their budget and lifestyle. For those who locked into high-cost leases during the challenging years, the MVR serves as a guide to finding better deals today.
LeaseBusters: Your Exit Plan Made Easy
While CCC’s tools are perfect for those planning their next lease, LeaseBusters specializes in helping customers part ways with their current contracts. Established in 1990, LB connects sellers eager to exit their leases with buyers who value the flexibility of short-term lease takeovers.
For buyers, LB offers a chance to skip down payments and startup fees, often sweetened by cash incentives from the original lessee. Sellers, in turn, benefit from LB’s expertise, receiving personalized advice on pricing and incentives to attract serious buyers.
The Power of Partnership
By joining forces, CCC and LB are reshaping the leasing journey for Canadians. Here’s how this partnership works to your advantage:
- Premium LeaseBusters Upgrades
CCC members gain free access to top-tier LB services like the Concierge Package, Featured Listing Package, and Weekly Specials. These upgrades maximize visibility for lease listings, ensuring sellers connect with qualified buyers quickly. - Streamlined Access
CCC members need only provide their membership number to access these premium LB features. From there, LB’s seasoned Leasing Specialists take care of the rest, offering a hassle-free experience tailored to individual needs. - A Trusted Process
With over three decades of expertise, LB’s reliable and secure platform is trusted by thousands of Canadians. This partnership amplifies that trust, combining the strength of CCC’s data-driven tools with LB’s proven track record.
Why It Matters
Together, CCC and LB deliver a one-two punch for leasing customers. CCC helps members uncover savings and make informed decisions for their next lease, while LB ensures they can exit their current lease without stress. It’s a perfect synergy that bridges the gap between where you are now and where you want to be.
Not only does this collaboration benefit individual customers, but it also strengthens ties with dealerships nationwide. By fostering relationships between customers, dealerships, and both companies, CCC and LB create a seamless ecosystem that’s as professional as it is efficient.
