Cars.com analysis of subscription services

Not sure if anyone has read this yet, it just hit my inbox, but it gives an interesting breakdown on the current value in subscription services vs. leasing.

What did we find? Outside Volvo, subscription programs run anywhere from 28 percent to 102 percent more per month than the equivalent cost to lease, insure and maintain a typical car therein — and that doesn’t even account for the onetime fees to join such subscriptions, which range from $495 to $575.

I think the calculations are generally fair for the broad range of the leasing public. The question remains if Lease Hackrs can do better on individual models like the XC40, GLC etc but there you have it.
