Hello Everyone, I just recently test drove the dodge charger scat pack ev and liked it a lot (minus the fake exhaust sounds). I got some information about a lease and just seeing if it looks okay. I tried plugging the information into the calculate but came up hundreds of dollars short so I think I’m doing something wrong
I don’t drive a ton (currently vehicle is a lease and after 2 years only 11k miles), just need something for fun and local driving that I like and enjoy.
From dealer site
MSRP: $86,460
Dealer Discount: -$9,272

Asking Price: $77,431
2025 National Retail Consumer Cash: -$6,500
Final Price: $70,931
First off, please don’t sign this or anything close to it. I strongly recommend learning how leasing works. Start with the READ ME FIRST.
Secondly, discounts listed on a dealer’s website can be misleading since they often include rebates already baked into the dealer discount. It’s in your best interest to educate yourself, see what discounts others are getting, figure out which rebates you qualify for, and then build your own offer.
oh no, oh no, oh no no no no no no
-please don’t sign this.
-look at rebates available in your region (become a supporter here/look at edmunds)
-search the forum to see what others are signing it for. understand that your region may not have all the incentives their region has (NE seems to get all the juice)
-please don’t sign this.
There is a pre-negotiated deal out of CA at $472 a month with $16500 in rebates. Make sure you are getting all the rebates you are entitled to in your area. This seems way too high.
They’re asking you to pay for $2,000 worth of “Ziebart”, which I’m guessing is a Ceramic coating or something that’s certainly not worth 55 a month over 36 months. I’d just find another dealer.
That’s not going to necessarily be a commonplace payment depending on where people live and what incentives are available to them. Sticker price definitely will make things different from car to car. What’s important to do is construct a target deal that includes:
A true 9% to 10% dealer discount before any rebates, incentives or coupons
5 BEV Coupons totaling $5,000 off beyond that
All the rebates and incentives you qualify for
Reasonable incidentals like doc fees
Reasonable motor vehicle fees
Your sales tax rate and how the tax is charged
Buyrate Money Factor and correct residual for the term of your choosing
If you do all that, then you did the best that you could do in your particular region on that particular car.
Correct - I saw your thread, congrats on the deal. I was making an off hand joke sort of along the lines of “can be had at fraction of cost” earlier post (with enough work to do that). Obviously I don’t think everyone is signing these at exactly $100pm all day long.
Yeah, I see what you guys are saying. All of the posts I saw were specifically for a '24 model so that is probably why my estimate is so much higher (because it’s a '25). other factors include things such as loyalty incentives and stuff that I don’t qualify for. Ever since finding this forum I’ve learned that I actually don’t know anything ha so hoping I learn a thing or two on how to maximize deals going forward!
