So I went to Edmunds and found a lease offer on a sonata phev limited for $1806 ‘due at signing’ and $311/mo for a 36mo/10K lease. Photo:
The dealer for whom that offer posted said “yes, we will honor that offer. It calculates at $4142.06 total drive off $341.47 per month (includes tax) Residual is $17,459.20,” Which feels pretty different from the Edmunds offer.
Supposedly explanatory photo from the dealer:
I said, actually I was wondering if you are able to give me the Edmunds price? If not I should check w/ other dealers who are closer to my house.
Their reply, which I need help understanding: “We did do that, Edmunds says 311 per month not including taxes. We are showing you including taxes monthly payment. They also write that this price is plus government fees and taxes, any finance charges applicable to a financial purchase, any electronic filing fee.”
But I do not see that fine print anywhere in the Edmunds offer. But this is the first time I have used Edmunds for this kind of thing. Is the dealer legit or jerking me around?
