It's a rare place that offers leases on used cars, unless you're
thinking of driving Mercedes, Lexus, Jaguar, or various Italian
exotics.

Also, most new car leases are two years minimum. Your best bet is
to get a cheap used car (Go see Cal!) and figure in all costs,
including maintenance and insurance.

If she picks the right place to live, then she can probably live
without a car. A big *if* in LA, but one person here has done it!
