Four of the Top 10 leased cars are BMWs. BMW pioneered both leasing and certified used cars in the early 1990s, to make new BMWs more affordable, and to support the value of used BMWs. But even BMW is getting more active in offering loans, such as 0.9% APR deals on the 2008 7 Series through Sept. 2, to make room for an all-new 7 Series due in early 2009. According to PIN data, 7.8% of 7 Series customers this year financed with a loan, and 6.9% paid cash, among the lowest in the industry in both categories.
