Black Friday was once known for getting up early Friday morning and camping out outside department stores to score a crazy deal on a big screen TV. Now with the growth and efficiency of e-commerce shopping, customers no longer need to camp out in the cold to get great deals.

Most companies nowadays start Black Friday saving a week before and continue the saving til Cyber Monday. So do these Black Friday savings include the car industry? Absolutely.

Over the last few years, resale value of used cars has skyrocketed. Dealerships are now able to sell used cars for more than traditionally in the past. With this in mind, dealerships have incentivized car buyers to look into leasing new cars in hopes to resale at higher price used when the lease wraps up.
