System requirements

Car Lease requires Mac OS 10.1.5 or later.

Car Lease runs on Intel-based Macs thanks to Rosetta.

Freeware

Car Lease can be used for free, however, if you want to receive free email support, you need to be a registered user.

As of January 1st, 2006, we no longer accept new registrations for Car Lease.

Acknowledgments

In early 2003, Dave Trescott asked to add a vehicle lease calculation to FinKit which would be useful for Mac users who are considering to lease their next car.

We would like to thank Dave for all his suggestions and for his very clear explanations on how vehicle leasing works.

Many thanks go to Barbara Canino from MaBaSoft for beta-testing Car Lease, reviewing the Help and for her comments and suggestions.

MaBaSoft's Application Wizard has been a big time-saver while developing Car Lease.
