Nothing too crazy but way better than anything today and didn’t have to “settle” on a car I didnt want to get a deal (ahem Frontier…)

Then it got [totaled](https://forum.leasehackr.com/t/my-hacked-car-is-no-more-mb-e300-declared-a-loss-by-insurance-but-positive-equity/150553) so had only a day to get another one

I mean the lease I got wasn’t as good as the ones out there, but if you include the money I made when I flipped it I guess it could get on the chart.

I definitely miss the good old days…

I must say, I’m impressed with you guys’ hacks 🙌🏽 . My hacks don’t come close to many of you guys’ hacks:

2016 Toyota Prius III - Blizzard Pearl | MSRP $30k | $0 DAS | 36mo - $255/month |  
Flipped to Carvana after 30 months and pocketed $2,100

2019 Honda Civic EX - Rally Red | MSRP $25k | $0 DAS | 36mo - $235/month | Flipped to Carvana after 13 months and pocketed $1,800

2021 Toyota Highlander LE - Moon Dust | MSRP $40k | $0 DAS | 36mo - $276/month | Current lease

I couldn’t have gotten the deals I’ve gotten without the hacker community. Thanks to everyone for your contributions!

2008 MB C63 - $68k for a 24mo one pay of $19k including tax. Traded at the end for equity into next car.  
2018 MB E350 - $68k msrp for about $500/mo. all in. Boring car…  
2019 BMW 640i demo $81k MSRP, 26% discount to $59.8k, with MSDs, $550 + tax. Signed for 36 months and had someone take over at 24 to get the eTron.  
2021 eTron - $70k MSRP, discounted and rebates to just under $50k. Did a 36 month one pay for $490/month including audicare. Dealer called last weekend wanted to buy the car for $8k more than I paid and it’s almost a year old. If I could go to just one car & sell it the lease would have been free.

Just had someone that got a limited crewmax off me for 385/mo over 2 years. Cashed out $10k in equity a couple months ago!

Most people were under $350/mo $50k msrp and are currently getting around $5-7k equity.

If I could get those same percentage discounts a 2022 tundra 58k msrp would be around $400/mo. So the bank terms are still there, just no discounts
