Rate my deal. Hey guys this is my first lease so I would like to get some feedback on how I did. I’ve spotted many Honda Clarity deals out there and I’ve seen some amazing deals on the base trims. The closest I could get were the numbers listed below, maybe with some more experience I could feel confident enough to pull something better off. I would like to thank this forum and the fantastic lease hacking community. It has really saved me a lot of time and money. My next lease will definitely go a lot smoother. For anyone planning to lease a car and saving time I definitely would reply to posts that are willing to share dealer info and replicate deals (honestly I didn’t do any work on this it was @4sallypat who did it all) . Unfortunately, I can’t do that here because the dealer I went to said that was happening a lot at his place but definitely do it on the posts that are open to doing so. Unfortunately i didn’t qualify for loyalty, college (graduated in 2016), nor the employee incentives…
Note: CVRP and SCE rebates take a couple of months to get mailed to you so I include them in parenthesis. SCE requires that you mail in your permanent registration but CVRP does not.
