Anyone had any luck with hacking an IQ? Still plenty of them sitting on lots.
Sub $1k would be nice but I’m not even looking for that, I’d be happy at $1,200-$1,300 for a sport 1 or $1,500-$1,600 for a sport 2. That’s the right number in my opinion of this car.
I think 1500 range for a 130k sticker is obtainable on a 25. Got 1 for a friend last month.
Yes, $1,500 is attainable
I’m looking for $1,200-$1,300
Any improvement on leases for 2026?
Hmm
IMO If i would afford $1300/m payment, paying $200 more per month shouldn’t be a big deal for me.
Well, it’s not about affording it…
it’s what something is worth to you. Surely I can afford the $200 more per month, it’s less than a weekly dinner for a family of 4. It’s principle for me, I’m also not in a rush for the car as I have a few others. So if I find a deal, I’ll take it, once I return one of my other cars to the leasing company I will have no choice but to pay whatever it is
In fairness that’s still a 15% increase, and I don’t know one hacker that is cool with $500 turning into $575!
I agree that it becomes about value and principle, less about what can be afforded. Most of us can afford much more than we want pay, that’s why we’re here 
.
Agreed!!
So that said…has anyone scored a good lease deal in January on a remaining 25 Escalade??
I almost closed one of the best deals yet but I took too long to commit. I got it down to $1,275 tax in with $5k DAS - brand new 2025 Sport 1 - (Including GM Employee Discount). Trying to replicate this deal and I’ll sign it today! MSRP was $134k MSRP, discounted by $30k down to $104k.
@schyulerw - this LH user’s handle is “slammed”. I wonder if he knows about the “low rider” mode and how slammed it makes the Escalade IQ 
Tell me more….
Put it in park
Press suspension down button and release. Then push down button and hold for 15 seconds.
He will switch his name soon to slammedIQ
Probably b/c that would shift the earth’s axis due to the mass movement.
Wait… I don’t think it came out as intended. 
10 char
Low rider mode is awesome. Basically makes the car a station wagon height during kid drop off.
Lol damn… got some weird error message while trying to enter low rider mode… now the car is stuck on the low (not low rider) setting and won’t lift up.
The General strikes again.
