There are online dating services, websites dedicated to marrying capital and business projects, and just about everything else that might need an introduction from one party to another on the internet these days. So why not a website dedicated to helping consumers get out of their unwanted lease vehicles while simultaneously satisfying the needs of others?

That's exactly what Leasebusters.com can do. But it gets better. Not only does the Mississauga, ON based Lease Busters Inc put consumers together with each other, but Ed Tibljas, sales manager, recently announced that his Toronto area leasing company can save new car buyers close to $10,000 off the retail price of many new vehicles by buying ex-rental vehicles instead of buying brand new.

"We normally don't see deals this good, even in October or November, when the rental companies typically replace their fleets with new models. Some of these deals are amazing!" said Tibljas.

Some of the examples include a 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport mini-van, which is virtually fully loaded and carried an original new car window sticker price of over $32,000. Mr. Tibljas now has one available with 18,500 km for only $23,500 and one with 28,300 km for only $22,500.

A Ford Escape XLT SUV, loaded with a V6, automatic transmission, 4-wheel drive, power seats, AM/FM 6-disc CD changer and only 18,400 km on the odometer is now available for only $25,900. Tibljas said that the original window sticker was over $31,000!
