Attempting Dodge Hornet Hack

Tdm is super easy to sign up for anyone. They can probably pull up your current lease account for loyalty too.

I’ll give them a call and see what he is upto. It’s in NorCal just incase some one is interested

Punched the numbers and it seems accurate

Around $375/month with taxes .

They dont seem even remotely accurate.

Buy rate on this is .00204. With $6500 in incentives (here is red flag #1, since this has way more than $6500 in incentives available), buy rate, and the proper fees added, this comes out to about $380/mo with $0 due at signing. That is thousands less than the quote you got that has a significant amount down.

You should have $12500 in incentives on this.

Here is what his offer works out to once you get past the shenanigans. CALCULATOR | LEASEHACKR

This isnt 19% off msrp. Its 1.4% off msrp.

The only useful thing to do with his phone number is to lose it.

Does this makes sense.
$6500 Chrysler Discount
$3000 California Loyalty Discount
$1000 TDM

What’s the other $2000?

$6500 ev
$3000 regional lease cash
$2000 loyalty
$1000 TDM

Youve removed a bunch of fees from the calculator. Have to put those back.

I guarantee you the “discount” he listed is not discount, but mainly incentives. He didn’t accidentally forget thousands in incentives but coincidentally give you a huge discount he just happens to not be able to apply incentives to.

You’re right. I’ll ask him next time he calls me. I thought $3000 + $2000 are the same. Loyalty also applies if I’ve chrysler financed but not lease

Anyways, certainly not buying it at these rates but sub $200 why not

Don’t waste your time. Ship has sailed with this dealer and this BS offer.

It does take time but a well crafted email that gets copied and pasted direct to the GM found on the about us link under meet the staff does wonders sometimes. GM obviously has a full picture view that a sales person may not have. If GM feels it’s an easy transaction to get a unit you never know.

Deal in Washington

That deal was already listed above 2 days ago.

Did OP contact that person? Likely not.

That’s usually my approach and I got my stupid cheap Ioniq in 2019 on the 2nd or 3rd try. I’ve reached out to over a dozen dealers on Hornets, though, and none want to discount more than a couple percent. It’s crazy because one has 42 total Hornets, 27 in that trim - 19 of which have identical options other than colors. The MSRP are different on identically equipped ones because some have been there since before they increased the price. I’m a Mopar guy, but these cars are not great and only make sense with massive discounts. My brother’s Sonata lease is ending and he wants something cheap for a few years while he saves for a house. Unless we can get 10%+ off the top before incentives, there are too many better options out there.

What do you mean by asking for the best discounts offered by brokers?

I’m not trying to pile on CDJR dealerships but out of the 4 different dealerships I worked with they were hands down the worse. The others (Nissan, Ford, & Chevy) were a lot better. Half of the CDJR dealerships wanted me to come in and wouldn’t negotiate on phone or email.

If you willing to really work for it make the same proposal up in a word document, estimate the fees (since each state is different) and submit a request online and respond to their email out to you. Those emails are always going to say “come on in for a test drive” but ignore it and submit an offer.

I think you’ll get one hit doing it this way.

I would email the GM or sales manager direct to try and get around the come in responses. Most of the sites have the doc fee readily listed if not I use $500 as a plug. No dealer add ons or addendums. If you have the canned email ready to copy and paste it doesn’t take that long to hit a lot of dealers but it’s still a time investment. Honestly, if you get a few to play the game it’s the back and forth that will take way longer.

That’s a good call too. I didn’t have any issue with Chevy dealerships when I sent them my proposals to the generic email that comes out, they would forward to their GM right away but they were all Chevy dealerships who were the easiest to work with.

I also have a section at bottom listing key items (credit rating, no add ons etc)

I also broke out with rebates and incentives I qualify for.

Who cares if they have dealer add ons? If they hit your offer price, but include an add on, more power to them. Sometimes they get extra bonuses based on how many add ons they can push, so theyll do a deeper deal to account for one. Same story with marked up money factor.

No need to remove some of the levers they can pull to get you to your target price.

You are correct - if they hit the monthly and total out of pocket they can get there however they want. I personally have not had that occur but in theory it could.

That deal was in WA, I’m in NJ. The dealership also said they were not willing to replicate the deal.

I didn’t post the link assuming you would go to Washington to get a car with you being in New Jersey, have it shipped or for you to call the WA dealer.

I posted it so that you could speak with the LHer that got that deal and see if there was anything they could offer you that could help.

Did you contact him/her?

As per OP in WA, they have sales tax exempt, which makes this deal much better with the same discount than in a any other state.
