Thanks for all the input! Ideally wanted to be around $232 my current 2023 Blazer lease payment, but not sure how I could get there and EV Blazer is the only way I’m getting near the price this time around.
Not sure what your taxes are, but it looks like they’re only offering something around $2500 as a dealer discount, if I had to guess. Did they provide that figure? It could also be a reasonable dealer discount but a marked up MF or other random “protection plans” or whatever, but most likely they just aren’t offering much of a discount on their end, imo.
Overall, it’s a high for me. I got a Blazer LT AWD for $176/month in IL with just first month’s due, and several have reported similar deals on Blazers or Equinoxes, so you might be able to do better.
Not claiming to be an expert, but this would be my gameplan: I would try to confirm that they are using the buyrate MF of .00207 and ask what dealer discount is being applied. If they are using buyrate MF, just ask for more dealer discount. Tell them you need to be in the 100s and you’ll drive over immediately and sign, or… whatever you want your target to be. I’ve seen courtesy vehicles with advertised dealer discounts of up to $6k this month, so… I think there’s meat on the bone. Play around with the LH calculator and see what is reasonable to attain with a $4k or $5k discount and take it from there.
