“We anticipated a wave of new lease-deal incentives over the Memorial Day shopping weekend as we’ve traditionally seen in years past, but lease data from May shows most popular lease deals held strong into June,” said Scot Hall, executive vice president of Wantalease.com. “It will be interesting to see whether or not dealers will introduce any new promotions leading into the July 4th holiday.”
