Lease Companion Review
Alright guys, strap in, this will be a long and detailed review. Head to the end for a TLDR.
Now that you have had your warning. Let’s jump right in.
Background
I started my preliminary lease search about 3 months ago and came across a variety of different resources from incredibly helpful Youtube videos to in-depth forums like LeaseHackr (LH). However, I never found a deal enticing or efficient enough to follow through.
All of that changed when I stumbled upon Sina’s (LeaseCompanion) Lexus forum. When I first read his posting about “INSANE deals for the IS350”, I was a bit hesitant to believe the language because many brokers on LH often use extreme exaggerations to attract clients. But boy did I learn the hard way that Sina is not one of these brokers. Because of my indecision and reluctancy to trust the posting, I lost out on a truly INCREDIBLE and INSANE deal on the IS350 with 11% off the MSRP price! I would live to regret that decision for the next few weeks where I would frequently contact Sina and bug him to see if he was getting more IS350 inventory. His responses were always timely, professional, and well thought out.
Due to my indecision, I ended up losing out on another IS350 when Sina finally managed to get one in stock. At this point I was distraught and a bit hateful of myself for not being quicker with my decision. I had gotten so close to even giving up the idea of leasing altogether. But I figured I would give it my last shot by contacting a few dealerships that had IS350s in stock to see what deals I could put together on my own.
Sina’s (LeaseCompanion) Value
Now is where Sina’s character and value really shines. Through a miraculous stroke of luck, I was able to find 1 dealership within 250 miles of me who was willing to negotiate on the price of the vehicle. Given my limited knowledge of how to negotiate, I messaged Sina who was more than willing to walk me through EVERY single step of the process. From negotiating off MSRP and finding the perfect incentives that I can use, Sina was there through it all. In the end, I was able to get an awesome deal with the help of Sina.
Unfortunately, the dealership sold the vehicle I had a deposit on last minute and backed out of our agreement. In a state of panic, I went to Sina, who was able to walk me through exactly what I should say to the dealer to get a replacement vehicle. After following Sina’s advice word for word, I was able to get the same great deal at the dealer for a brand new replacement vehicle coming directly from the Lexus factory in Japan.
I would not have been able to get the great deal or secure a replacement car without the help of Sina. Not only was I not charged a single DIME for his services, Sina made sure to take the time and review my lease deal sheet to check for any hidden charges and ensure that I was getting the best deal possible.
Summary (TLDR)
Because of my own indecisiveness, I missed out on Sina’s INSANE deal for the IS350. When I tried negotiating the lease myself at a different dealership, Sina was incredibly generous with his time and expertise to keep my own interests at heart without charging me a penny for his services. As a result, I was able to get an incredible deal on a fresh IS350 straight from the Japanese factory.
This man exemplifies all the values that you would want to see in a lease broker. He is patient, understanding, and incredibly generous with his time. If you are deciding between lease brokers on here, look no further than Sina (Lease Companion). He will take care of you and provide you with a pain-free/smooth process.
