Last year, I got in on an amazing deal on a commuter Spark EV thanks to you guys by just lurking and reading your posts.
Lately I’ve been seeing posts about truly “incredible” deals for $98/mo CVRP-eligible cars like the i3. After reading those threads, it seems like those deals quickly become _UN_deals with $279/mo payments and high down payments etc.
Now I’m looking to lease a family range car and need either a Chevy Bolt, Volt, Leaf, or i3 REx. I haven’t seen anything close to $200/mo with $0 drive off. 10k/year for 36 months standard terms.
Should I keep waiting or am I looking for too good of a deal that simply can’t exist?
In terms of the i3, 200$ month Rex should be possible if you do MSD’s (1400) and 1100 down. If you qualify for fleet and 2500$ CVRP. This is based on 49,495 MSRP (Rex).
Once you receive the rebate it’s essentially 0 out of pocket.
Then 1400 msds you get back equate to -46/mo
I saw some deals like that too, but your drive off number isn’t $0. The most I’d be willing to do is a lease broker’s fee like I did for the last lease I signed.
If you qualify for CVRP, drive off is 0 out of pocket (if you can front the money and wait for the return) If not, that’s a different story. You listed it in your title so I expect you do.
