Any recommendations on a broker who could help me get the best possible lease deal on a 2023 Kia Sportage SX Prestige AWD Hybrid? Located in NYC metro area.
I’d love to be proven wrong but I don’t think it’ll ever make financial sense to lease this right now.
It’s a brand new model (which looks absolutely fantastic imo!) which is also an in-demand hybrid, with decent reviews, limited inventory and sold by Kia dealers who are notoriously terrible to work with. It has a lot going against a lease - If you’ve decided on this vehicle, I’d use the cash from the equity in your current lease for the downpayment and find the best possible terms to finance it.
Hey guys, you did give me some really really good advice, but I am still set on leasing. I know it’s not a great market AT ALL, but I am ok with that. Anyways I have a few quick questions for all of you. I just received the following offer from a dealership on a car and wanted to get your thoughts…all they sent me was this deal sheet and they are telling me they can’t send me further details until I come in to the dealership to meet with finance and finalize the deal. The dealer told me that this includes everything (all taxes and fees) and there will be NO surprises. I just find it strange he can’t send me a further breakdown of everything? Is this legit? The dealer is also 45 minutes away from me so I do not want to travel just to be disappointed. I also have a 2019 Kia Sorento EX V6 AWD lease that I am trading in. They are valuing the car at $27,000 and the payoff is $21,206 so all of that equity is being included in the deal. Any advice on whether this is legit and is the dealer being honest? I mean it is signed by the manager! The MSRP on the car is just over $38,500. I think there is a markup as well.
They’re asking you to pay $30,000 to lease a $38k vehicle for 4 years.
You would be insane to consider such a ridiculous notion.
The fact that they won’t give you the details means they’re hiding all the mark ups. The only takeaway you should have from this was that they were kind enough to tell you indirectly to take your business elsewhere.
I understand. So they don’t want to do business with me? LOL! I mean all that equity I have in the lease wouldn’t be there if this market didn’t going to S***!
I do NOT want to buy my current car and have already extended the lease 6 months
I want a new car and need to be with a car (to get to work, etc…)
I do not want to own ANY car (technological changes in cars, etc…)
So given these parameters…what would you do? Like should I wait a few months or a year? Are the lease numbers going to get better with time?
Everyone is telling you to ditch the lease and finance, because you’re literally throwing money away. No one here is going to justify leasing this car in this market. You’re asking people who specialize in leases and everyone is telling you to run, that should be a huge red flag.
This is just a stubborn stance. You can buy a car, drive it for 3 years and sell it for another. Leasing right now is a money pit. As everyone on the board has been telling you over and over, just buy.
If you absolutely have to lease, get a Tacoma SR 4WD V6 from James Rouleau as mentioned above. Can be had for ~$300/month, if he still has any of course.
Everyone has already said that your self-imposed parameters will simply result in you wasting money unnecessarily.
If you are dead set on leasing, look at the forums to try to find another car that isn’t leasing absolutely horribly. But you will not find a good lease deal on a Sportage right now period.
Nobody would’ve predicted 3 yrs ago that the market would look like this right now. No one can predict what the market will look like in the future.
Get over it and purchase instead of lease if you want this vehicle. Purchasing it doesn’t mean you’re stuck with it. It’s just a different application of your money.
this. I can count on one hand the number of vehicles worth leasing rather than purchasing today. And this definitely ain’t one of 'em.
