I had originally received offer 1 and then I called them out for not including the correct rebate amount of $5.5k ($500 untaxed costco).
They took the difference of the correct 5.5k rebate from the original incorrect 4k rebate and added that to the initial cap to bring us to offer #2 (total 5k rebate bc $500 untaxed and got factored into the initial capcost2]
They said they could not do offer #1’s initial cap of $35,981 WITH the rebates of offer #2 or they “would be losing money on the deal”.
Is this legit ???
Offer 1:
Initial Cap Cost: $35,981
Rebates: 4,000
Offer 2:
Initial Cap Cost: $37,481
Rebates: $5,000
Breakdown of Rebates:
3k lease credit
1k new grad
1k loyalty
500 costco
I’m 99% sure the dealer came out to the initial 4k figure by only crediting 2k lease cash and pocketing the rest (read numerous stories about dealers trying to pull this).
