This is what I got offered in NJ on a 2018 BMW X1 loaner this week Lol! Sorry 4000 due 369 a month includes loyalty tax and fees

Checked out 2 Kia dealers here in NJ: Raceway Kia and Gateway Kia. Both were for 2019 EX-P.

Raceway Kia offered me $399 with $1,399 out of pocket and 12k miles.
Gateway Kia offered me $489 with $2,000 out of pocket and 10k miles. MSRP was just above 31k, but was selling it for over 35k because according to the salesman “that’s what we’re legally allowed to sell it for”. Red flag!

Raceway salesman thought I was nuts for not taking the deal. Gateway couldnt seem to figure out how the other dealer was so much cheaper than them and told
me I shouldve taken the deal. LOL

Hi, welcome to Math, and welcome to logic.

Incentives seem strong, they must’ve been keeping it for themselves and not offering or including them.

My wife likes the 4Runner so we went and test drove one yesterday. She liked it minus the fact that the infotainment system feels ancient, no blind spot monitors (on the model we priced) and key start, it just felt like an old vehicle to me.

Anyway I never get quotes in person but I figured why not let’s see what he says. MSRP was a hair over 40k and he came back with 2k down, $687 a month for 36/10 or $629 a month for 48/10 and then proceeded to tell me if I put 10 or 15k down I would definitely make my money back when I resell it after the lease because of how well it holds it’s value. Laughed my way right outta that dealer.

If you’d make your money back then why not just put 0 down and sell it at that point to break even? I don’t understand his logic. Toyota dealers are notoriously bad for discounting cars. Same thing happened to my brother when he quoted a Highlander XLE. Similar MSRP and we got a similar quote.

That’s SQ5 money.

Toyota dealers are big fans of flipping the uniformed from a finance to a 48mo lease and crushing people, lots of down payment and selling it at msrp. Helps us get our unicorns!

No Matter what I do, I can’t seem to get numbers this high. Not the worse sale price in the world but man, I don’t know they are getting $200/m more than what it should be, even with inflated MF.

I’m dying to know if someone would actually fall for that one lol

Sales Tax is obviously wrong.

I told them that this discussion isn’t even worth having, and they felt insulted that im not taking up this awesome deal. But an hour later the GM called and said they can knock off $100/m off that price…

Just want to share this quote I got for a 330i xDrive loaner. Somehow the payment increased with 24 month/10k mile.

I didn’t even know they could mark up the MF that high (or what I presume is marked up).

Me either. He had the audacity to ask what he could do to earn my business. I said nothing

I don’t understand you. It says right there. 12,1281.00 of Total Savings + Rebate. How can you reject such offer? Do you even know how much some people need to work to earn that much? And you just rejected it. Shame, shame on you!

He’s looking at well over 20% discount with rebates and still he has a payment over 550 a month. Only dealers can make numbers like that happen.

Doesn’t make sense, does it?

I guess it wasn’t too clear so I’ll spell it out: I was sarcastic :wink:

I knew you were being sarcastic. My comment was one in agreement with yours.

This really doesn’t qualify for “worst leases.” It’s not great, but hardly the worst out there.

Yeah it’s just a tiny bit over one percent rule. Dealer playing games with numbers but this is a way better deal than most of the lease offers on this thread which are close to 2% leases.
