I actually thought it was a pretty solid deal myself when comparing it to other deals on the forum. We don’t have any state incentives and tax on the vehicle sale price so this is one of the few cars that is actually “hackable” through the big dealer discounts.
It is also nice that I have 6 Chevy dealers within an hour drive to bounce off of each other. They also seem to have plenty of bolts in stock too.
Maryland state taxes are higher, at 6% of the sales price. @Dave_Golden or any other resident is going to have to put in a lot of effort to get a good deal in Maryland.
Doesn’t VA charge tax on the full sales price of the vehicle (instead of the lease payment)? Not sure about MD.

Thank you in advance for everyone’s expertise.
MF looks wrong or marked up, should be .00053
That’s your numbers, I left the tax at 9%. I assume they marked up the MF to make up for the discount. There’s some other crap they must have added unless you’re in a tax the price state.
tax the price state
Even with the marked up rate, they are at 12%+ discount, probably hard to push them much more, maybe squeeze another $500 out of them. The are making $1800 on the marked up rate.
Closed the deal this weekend! Thanks for all of your help, LeaseHackr Community!
