Thanks. That’s some really good information to know going into this.
The dealer cash is given to dealers to sell the vehicle and it shouldn’t be tax, explain and try to convince the dealer to use it on the selling price on the vehicle.
2025 is a better deal this month. 2024 seems worse
Some dealers are offering $595 acq fee, but most charge $995, just factor it in your selling price

Thank you. Great information.
Haven’t found anything this remotely cheap. Lowest I’ve found in the midwest is 5s. Definitely need to look around better, clearly.

I’m reaching out to dealers within 500 miles right now. I’ve gotten one to 330/month +Tax sign and drive for a 24/10k (should have been 12k) on an $82k Scat Pack, but I’m still working.

Sheesh. I wish I had that. Not even close around here.

What are you seeing for discounts on a 2024 Scat Pack? I just had a dealer offer me 6.1% off on a vehicle that is currently bricked and awaiting a new drive battery. It feels like it should be much higher.

I’ve gotten 18% so far at one dealer and 14.3% from another. I’m going back to the 18% dealer tomorrow because I found another $2000 in incentives I can apply for $17,500 total. That should bring the lease payment even with their $1800 in “fees” to the mid to high $200’s per month for an $85k model.
Is that for conquest? I’m in the same boat as you shopping around, but landing at $16.5k in incentives w/ affiliate
Not bad at all. Is that on a 24 or 25? It sounds like you have yourself a deal. I qualify for $20,500 in incentives in my region but the dealer will only do $5,070 off a $82,970 MSRP.
Conquest plus the $1000 offer code from the website that is emailed to you.

That’s a 2024. I had to go out of region for the deal I’m working. The midwest is a joke for most brands. I’ve gotten my last 5 cars either from the east coast or the south regions.
This. Midwest is a black hole for any deals. Tons of dealers with DOZENS of units (of whatever car) just sitting there. It’s insane.

I got a yes on my first offer on a Blazer EV in Ohio last summer.
otoh I had a terrible time putting together a BMW deal locally in 2019 and ended up sourcing one in Virginia and driving it back. That was my first lease.
The main difference between the first experience and the last might appear to be geography, but I attribute more than half of the difference to the development of a more refined approach to shopping (mainly how to make an offer that’s clear, immediately actionable, and aggressive but not absurd).
Please do share
Hard to encapsulate in one post, since there’s a whole forum here where I picked up knowledge over time, but generally…
Understand in detail how the calculations work and where to find MF, RV and incentives for which you qualify. Use the available data on offers and closed deals to determine what represents an aggressive dealer discount. Know exactly what you’re willing to pay, and be able to explain to a disinterested stranger why. Then make an immediately actionable, unambiguous offer, and if you get a no, move on. If the thrill of the hunt excites you, you can make even more aggressive offers hoping to find unicorn deals, but you’ll get a lot more nos. Depends on whether your time or your money is more important to you.

First step is identifying the most hackable car(s) for your needs.
Probably better to start a new thread.
