Just to close out on this: the merits of leasing on a Visa (H1B, TN, and others) is discussed in those posts: you aren’t getting Tier 1 (the lowest possible financing) without credit history, except on a 1-pay lease. You might also check out
Lots also discussed on a 24 month leases, with rare exception you will pay more for 2 years vs 3, so plus plus excellent established credit history for 3 years.
This is going to be your best bet, with more flexibility on financing, with the only downside that right now used cars cost more. Your read time is currently 1h, I suspect before this is done you’ll have spend many times that researching.
Also could be a fun project for a broker.
Good luck.
