I am actively shopping for a good lease deal in this crazy market. Currently am leasing a Chevy Silverado which KBB has me at about +7-8k equity. The goal is to pocket that equity and get into another lease at $0 down. I just received this quote from a Genesis dealer in the area:
RV and MF verified on edmunds. LH calculator has it comparable. I’m going to ask the dealer if there are any other incentives. Trucar has the discount being more or less in line with what the dealer is offering.
I’m saying it isn’t worth much as reference point.
You can go to Credit Karma and get a credit score, but it isn’t a score anyone actually uses to process a credit application.
So people think they have 700 credit scores because the CK app on their phone said so, and then they go apply for a car loan and the finance company pulls an Auto-Enhanced FICO 9.
And it’s 625.
What good is knowing that Credit Karma thinks you’re a 700? They aren’t going to lend you any money.
You should instead focus on finding more useful data to baseline your price so you’re targeting the right number. Might mean a bigger discount, might not.
