Deal check 2025 Armada - help

,

Hello, I’m in the market for a new SUV and we’ve settled on the 2025 Armada for our needs. I’ve worked out the best deal I can for pricing, and am trying to decide if lease or finance is best for me.

  • MSRP $78,280
  • Discount 6,779
  • Sale price $71,501
  • Due up front $2,179
  • Residual $50,099
    12kmiles/36 mos $-1,157/month tax included

Can I get some recommendations if these are good lease terms, or better off financing? Thank you! 1

Not sure if thats a typo..but if its not, you’re getting a 4 digit monthly payment? Absolutely do not take this. Infiniti QX80 will beat this and its the same car. If you decide to go the Infiniti route, let me know.

Apologies yes, it is $1,157/month. How would I go about discussing the QX80 options with you?

Money factor is .00372 for reference.

Glad you posted here, and +1 to the rec by @IAC_Nick on the QX80.

This deal check aside, moving forward it’s always best to establish whether a vehicle is even hackable in the first place given some current, market aggressive discount + available incentives.

Evaluating lease versus buy, it’s always best to step back and think through what you’d be paying over the term. In this case, it makes zero sense to pay over half of the cars worth (e.g. 43-44k) over 3 years only to give back and repeat.

Thank you very much for the advice. Really saving me from making a mistake. If I proceed with this car, financing makes the most sense at 4.9% for 60 mos.
