I’ve leased many vehicles over the years, but I’ve only really educated myself on the opportunities in the past few months on this forum. I’m very proud of this one, but I don’t think it was skillfully executed - it was mostly luck.
2024 Chevy Silverado RST EV Loaner (1790 miles)
Base MSRP: $94,500
MSRP with dealer add-ons: $101,096
Monthly: $461.70
DAS: $0 (literally: no first month payment, no fees and dealer covered $1,588 for AZ registration)
Story: on 9/22 I was exchanging texts with this dealer on this car. Their best offer was $885/mo with $1000 down. I told them that was far apart from what I would do. I shared a leasehackr deal and they politely said they couldn’t do it. On Tuesday 9/30 I get a text at 5:30 asking if I had found a truck yet. I said no. He knew my OTD number was $500/mo on a 36/10. He asked if I could come down that night for that number. I said yes and would come down right away once I saw the deal in writing. Which I did.
I figured I would owe them the first month payment + TTL and $500 + tax monthly. Instead I didn’t need to pay anything and the $500/month was after tax.
having several lines in the water was probably what worked. But in the end, I think they wanted the car off the lot at just about any cost and I was in the right place at the right time. Better to be lucky than good.
