Can a broker help negotiate leases on direct sales manufacturers

Seems like using a broker to find me a great lease deal when the pre-negotiated ones are not a match is a great idea.

What about direct to customer companies like Lucid, Tesla, or Rivian where there is not shopping among dealerships? Can a broker help me realistically over just going myself to a local showroom and giving them a monthly/DAS combination offer and sew what they can do?

AFAIK only Polestar is currently working with any brokers.

Not really aside from locating vehicles with damage disclosures or conditions that would open them up to an outsized discount (that the broker would have no control over)

No. And their offers suck right now.

Pricing on hackable cars in the Marketplace so much better than anything DTC rn

The upside of the pricing models when I was shopping last time was that it was reflexively easy to put the Lucid Air in the ‘No’ column in the month I needed a car.
