so if you have a dealer that wanted to discount one you think the lease percentage would still be there?
i have a 2020 tundra that is coming due that i was at 265 with zero down on a trd sport. owe around 38k on the payout but dont think there is really 5k equity left anymore.
If I’m being honest, if I never found LeaseHackr I would’ve never been able to get into an electric car, thinking it was leagues out of my budget for a teenager. Not that I have, got a taste of it, joined my EV community outreach group, I probably wouldn’t be here right now in the major that I’m in, and I would definitely wouldn’t have the career goals geared towards the electric automotive industry, like I do now
Most my tundra trades are in the 42-43k range currently. So there’s equity. Text and I can check
That’s some pretty nice deals there.
I have got two questions for you:
Thanks.
I don’t keep cars too long as I sell frequently and move to the next. But it helps having a couple of kids that are driving age so we always need several cars.
And all I did was copy and paste from my Google spreadsheet.
Maybe not the best ever, but thanks to this forum landed some awesome deals:
Ok, I’ll toss a few into play… not unicorns but deals I was very happy with:
turned it in a couple of months after Covid hit. Everyone was freaking out about finding dealers that will accept lease turn-ins, but I found one 10 miles away that accepted it, no questions.
Yes yes 100%
What about all those loaner 2019-2020 7 series guys were scoring down south 25%-30% off msrp with payments below $600 with $0DAS
Personal best hacks

The good ole days…
2018 C300 4Matic (demo). MSRP - $49,075
36/10. $318/month including 3-year PPM and 7.1% tax.
Not so much the best hack ever, but it was my first hack, and I ended up selling at the onset of the supply squeeze.
October 2019 - 36/12 a '19 Tacoma TRD Pro, $0 down, $0 Due at signing. Free delivery to Miami. $485/mo. (Tax included.)
End up selling March 2021 to Vroom leaving $4276.38 in equity (this was after being slightly underwater for all of 2020.)
Effective Monthly - $234.29.
My current daily, $69k MSRP 2020 BMW X5

If prices are the same as they are now in July 2023, I won’t be getting another x5 because the prices now are wacky!
Hell yeah! The great '16 Cruze Limited giveaway + flip to Beepi (and then watch them go bankrupt) escapades! That was something.
I still see Beepi license plate holders from time to time. A collectors item now.
Sold my wife’s Infiniti SUV to Beepi in 2016 for $3k more than any other dealers offered. We were both sad and happy when we heard Beepi went out of biz shortly after in 2017.
I sold my 2014 Accord EX 6spd to Beepi in 2016.
2yrs into the lease and walked away with a $500 check.
At that time, I was happy to end the lease early and get into my next lease. Used the $500 to pay my first and tags on my next lease lmaooo.
Leads me to believe how these 3rd party places like Vroom/Carvana/Shift will do in the next year or two .
IIRC, I leased a '16 Cruze for 24 months @$80/month (which included over $1,200 in sales tax because MD taxes the entire price of a car on a lease). But I received $300 in Visa gift cards along with a $700 Costco giftcard. So after accounting for the gift card money, my effective monthly cost would have been $38.
Except I flipped the Cruze to Beepi for nearly $4k profit. Lol
You can’t even fill the gas tank for $38 today LOL, crazy deal.
