Hi - i received the below deal and very interested in any input someone can provide. I would really appreciate it. I live in the New York area. The link to the deal is below. This is for a 2025 Aviator Reserve AWD 200A, Pristine White, hot chocolate interior, jet package, 22 inch wheels.
It’s a straight MSRP deal i would keep moving. Try to find a 2024. MF is better on 2024’s plus you should be able to swing a discount off MSRP. Also there are some other rebates out for these. Check the Rate finder and see if you qualify for any of them

I appreciate the candid feedback. I am still negotiating with the dealer. Will revert back with updated numbers.
You know the dealer can’t change RV and buyrate, right? So negotiating in the context of bad RV/MF is just asking for less shit in a shit sandwich.
Look at the Marketplace you can pay half this for a CX90, XC90, QX60, etc.

Apologies, I noticed that the calculator I originally posted did not have the correct numbers (still getting used to this), but the updated link below shows the true MSRP for the vehicle, including any dealer incentives and discounts.
Appreciate any continued input.
unless you got a targeted mailer, your rebates are wrong. the 25 aviator reserve gets 2 grand RCL cash. There’s no trade in assist, etc.
The 2024 meanwhile, DOES get $4k in RCL cash, as well as another 2 grand in trade in assist.
Pretty clear from your post history on this thread that you don’t really know what you’re doing with your “negotiation”. this lincoln dealer is going to eat your lunch. Like I said, I’m happy to sell you an aviator, at a price significantly less than 4% off msrp. on your own, you’re wasting your time.

Not sure why you expect any input to change. You went from a $1,2xx payment to a $1,1xx payment on an Aviator. Still the hardest of hard passes.
Any payment above a similarly equipped Volvo or Infiniti remains too high
$2,000 lease cash and $2,000 luxury conquest private offer for existing Lincoln customers. Attached is the numbers written down by the dealer. I will also attach the window sticker.

do you have something against working with brokers that you’re willing to continue to waste your time “negotiating” with a dealer?

Is this a vehicle / deal where the heart wants what the heart wants and your just trying to make it as least painful as possible?
The heart also wants to negotiate its own deal even if it is worse than what is being offered in the LH marketplace?
Are you really going to look at in the driveway for $1100+ month and see value there?
This is a brand whose captive has never been known for turning the dials in favor of leasing, however it is your money.

You know. Some people just want to dig their own grave.

These are the relationship based dealers lol
Here’s the situation, we visited various dealerships, test drove the cars, reviewed the options, and after doing our research, we ruled out the XC90, Infiniti QX60, and others which was not our style at all and/ or didn’t suit my family needs. That led us to the Lincoln Aviator. We leased the Aviator for three years, liked it, and wanted to upgrade to the 2025 model, which has been updated with a redesign we really like. We reached out to the dealer we originally leased from to inquire about incentives and how much they could reduce the MSRP for the best deal. They provided their numbers, saying it was the best offer.
Afterward, we did additional research to find other dealerships with the same options and specifications we wanted for a Lincoln Aviator lease. For us, certain features are non-negotiable: we want a white exterior with a brown interior, not white with black or blue with tan. We want the jet black package, etc. We realize this limits our options, but we’re not willing to spend money on something we’re not fully satisfied with. It seems that some people go for whatever deal they can get, and I’m not even sure if they’re completely happy with what they’re getting—but if getting a good deal is all that matters to them, that’s fine. That’s just not how we operate. We have specific standards and preferences, and we believe we’ve done our due diligence. Further, leasing this Aviator at the price given is under our means, but want to ensure we are getting the best offer considering the circumstances. The $1,100 a month is not breaking bank for our family. I cannot look at a car in my driveway knowing I did not get what I want regardless of what I’m paying, and that maybe just my way of thinking.
We feel we’ve secured the best price for the 2025 redesigned Lincoln, based on comparisons with three other local Lincoln dealerships that couldn’t match the offer. Yes, you can probably get a Volvo or an infiniti for cheaper, but we feel the Lincoln Aviator is a bit more luxury than those cars in our opinion.
There are brokers responding to my post with a lot of talk but no substance. I’ve provided the window sticker—let’s see if they can find the same options listed there at a better deal, including their broker fee, to back up their claims.

Based on those numbers you’re better off buying the Aviator
My friend your post is going to get ripped to shreds. You came in here asking if it’s a good deal to a site where the vast majority will drive a pink car with beige seats if it’s the cheapest payment. You picked a car that doesn’t lease well with a brand new redesign, others have told you this and you justify it by saying you like black accents.
If you like it sign and drive, but no one on here will justify this deal for you.
