Hi Hackrs -
Looking for a 3rd row SUV with a real third row, and seems like the VW Atlas, palisade and surprisingly the Santa Fe provide these.
Lease deals on then atlas all seem to be ~$580-600 with ~3500 DAS. Palisade and Santa Fe awaiting numbers.
Any thoughts on whether I should expect to find any decent deals on the Hyundais? Or are they still terrible lease cars. vW doesn’t seem great either. Are there any true spacious 3rd row cars that lease well currently?
Youre in NJ. Lease an EV9
I wish. Already have one EV, and looking to keep one ICE vehicle around. I would love to however flip out of my current EV to an EV9.
Atlas is obsolete and not as well equipped. IDK why it’s even in the running.
It’s very spacious, and drives nice enough for the lady, who seems to like it. The infotainment system is a little annoying for sure, however. It seemed nice inside mostly. But not as nice as the Santa Fe interior.
From who? The dealer? Make offers based on datapoints here.
There seem to be some okay deals in the Marketplace for Santa Fe and Palisades.
If the bar is so low, why are you overpaying by leasing in this segment?
Easily five figure sum left on the table by doing two successive 36m leases in this segment instead of 5-6yr ownership cycles.
So if you’re going to overpay by that much, it better be one ducking special car.
Where you seeing that?
Question is, will the new SF hold its value as the Palisade has?
If you are considering purchasing and are worried about resale value, isn’t the grand highlander the best choice?
Palisade has good lease programs, I would go with that
Santa fe is still too new so lease programs arent there yet
Probably but you have to want a Toyota
most people don’t really “wants a toyota” in the same way that most people don’t want a revolver. But guess what? The revolver always works
You are greatly underestimating the demand Toyota has, there are lots of people who LOVE Toyotas
There are lots of segments that Toyota has the highest leases in and customers still refuse to look at alternatives
I’m well aware of their huge following but there are still many that don’t like them for various reasons like the outdated interiors etc
It should hold its value better than the outgoing Santa Fe. How much are those worth?
Its also hideous lol
Seemingly decent deals avail on Pallisade. Saw a few for a SEL premium - $48k MSRP, $475-$495 pm with ~ 2-3k DAS. Not excellent, but not terrible I guess.
The most hideous design feature on a SUV is a deeply raked D-pillar that destroys all the “U” in SUV.
I’ve seen a few. Not beautiful, by any means, but it at least looks very functional (and will probably fool more than a few into thinking you got a Land Rover).
I love it.
