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?
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)
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.
