Anybody know how Chevy Blazer’s lease? Any tips. Wanted a jeep but need to move this month and Jeep leases are bad it sounds like for April.
It is practically impossible for us to tell you what a “good” monthly payment is for your specific lease as lease programs are highly dependent on region, personal qualifications, tax rates, etc.
We always recommend the following method before you ever contact a dealership. If you do all of the work up front, you’ll have a stress free dealer experience and set yourself for success.
- Read Leasing 101 (Blog | LEASEHACKR) to understand how to calculate a lease payment and the variables. Monthly payment is an output, not an input!!
- Pick a specific vehicle that you want to target
- Gather the current MF, RV and incentives from Edmunds forums for your zip code
- Research the LH marketplace and other deals that have been made recently on your vehicle - what was their pre-incentive discount? How did their lease terms differ?
- Plug your numbers into the LH calculator (CALCULATOR | LEASEHACKR), and use a pre-incentive discount similar to what you have seen
- Create a target deal, this is what you’re trying to negotiate to. You can try different terms, selling price discount, etc. and see how your monthly payment is affected. It is also possible that different trims of your vehicle may have different MF and RV (i.e. this is very common with GM), so make sure that you look into that. Come up with a set of inputs that give you the output that you want - your desired monthly payment.
With a target price determined, you now have a deal to pursue and compare dealer offers against. More importantly, you have a solid foundation to work from.

The factory has been shut down for a while now on these due to the semiconductor shortage. It isn’t going to be a pretty lease.

Most cars don’t lease well. You cannot pick a model first and find a way to make it lease well if the programs aren’t there.
Limit your choices to what’s in the Marketplace and Shared Deals subs if you value your money.

Here’s your starting point. Not sure what the lease incentives or RV/MF is. The MF may be near ZERO, since their purchase APR is 0% currently.
How many thousands of dollars are included in the ** that aren’t part of that number? And what ridiculous combination of incentives are needed for “all offers”?

Or not, as is currently the case with the Forester. But a quick check of Edmunds will tell you.
Hey, I was trying to be helpful and provide a starting point. It’s better than being unhelpful, abrasive, and sarcastic.
Try it sometime.
Except that it’s not helpful, it’s misleading/incorrect (unhelpful) at best. National offers are definitely not a great place to start from - they don’t give you any of the inputs/data that you need - you’re much better off following the steps in Post #2. Also, finance APR has nothing to do with rent charge/MF and there is no relationship between the two. MF is simply an input or way to subvent a lease, just like an incentive or a residual value. With GM the MF commonly even varies among the vehicle trims, so one needs to research the MF for each trim level. An LT 2WD could have an MF magnitudes of order higher than an LS AWD, or whatever.
And I do believe that you’re being abrasive and sarcastic yourself. I think that @jeisensc was actually trying to be helpful by telling where to check for the MF.
