Sorry if this is a beginner question but I appreciate any input here. This will be my first time leasing so just feeling a bit uncertain.
My main priority is getting a smoking deal on a lease. From what I can tell the Subaru Solterra is one of the better deals out there right now but I am open to other suggestions if this is not that great of a deal. The biggest draw here is this one is not costing me anything down. I am located in AZ.
I have uploaded the sales sheet but essentially I am looking at $400/month for the Subaru Solterra premium
The Nissan Ariya Evolve+ is a similar price and is a better car.
Have you Test Driven the Solterra? I hated the non opening moonroof and the fact I couldn’t reach anything easily without bending over (and that’s a danger driving)
Ioniq5 is cheaper but doesn’t have a sunroof on the cheaper models.
Nope, too expensive for a solterra. If you insist on that car, you can get Lexus RZ for that payment. iD4, Ariya, EV6 & Ioniq5 is a better ev and cheaper monthly. If you don’t mind the range, look for Genesis GV70 electrified for $400-450 monthly.
Premium trim of Solterra is pretty underwhelming with options. This is “at invoice” but if you want the Solterra you can certainly shop around and get more discount. Have seen as much as 6k off up here.
I would cross shop Ioniqs and Ariyas which as mentioned are similar payment and better cars.
Bz4X XLE has more options and if you can find one on a lot should be a lower payments.
I will later today. I am not too concerned with trim though, performance and price is most important to me but I did have concerns on range of this vehicle
Yes exactly, payment to MSRP ratio. I would say my upper limit would be $650/month as long as the deal is still good but a dirt cheap lease is attractive as well
This is why you should construct your own deal and send them out instead of accepting what the dealer want you to pay or just pay a broker to get you one.
People will tell you how awful the Solterra/Bz4x is (they’re the same car by the way).
I’ve had quite a few entry level EVs and I’m pretty happy with my Bz4X XLE. Part of my enjoyment is the low payment, but as a third car with free charging for the year it’s great. It’s a step up from the Premium Solterra with features though. And it’s not worth $400 a month compared to what else you can get. Just helped a friend into a fully loaded leftover Kia GT Line for that much.
Agreed that the marketplace is probably your best bet to get a killer deal with little effort. Lots of options out there.
