That’s not how this works. Lease programs change all the time, so there is no guarantee that payments will get cheaper as you get further in the year.
Case in point, this deal from March or older has a lower MF, meaning less rent charge that one has to pay.
Previous deals and marketplace listings are great for looking at the pre-incentive discount amount, but beyond that, you need to work things out for your personal situation. Programs change all the time and vary significantly by person. You can’t reliably look at someone else’s monthly payment and go off of that.
Maybe? Check with the Edmunds forum for the particular Make/Model tomorrow or Thursday (typically 2-3 days into the month) to see what the current numbers are. Money factor and/or incentives can change, but don’t always.
just rough estimation for price ladder
Now I know my reference to broker form is not a correct consideration after I got real quote from one broker.
I just listed the quote above.
For future reference, pricing can vary wildly by model. Trying to determine a relationship between payment and MSRP by using data from a different model isn’t a useful comparison. Hell, often times you can’t even compare between different trims that way.
