Zero reason to pay for this when you can get a palisade SEL / SEL prem for the same money.

Thanks – we prefer the Telluride look. What’s your take on the deal structure, given that there is a trade in involved as well.

I leased a better spec’d EV9 worth nearly double that, at a little over half that, so it looks like an impossibly bad deal from that POV.

Have you looked at what it would cost to buy? They hold their value pretty well, are you sure your total cost of owenership over 3 years wouldn’t be less going down that angle?

EV9 is an…EV

Telluride S is an…ICE

Not really a good comaprison

Same advice as this deal.

It helps to highlight what a terrible deal it is for a $36,000 vehicle…

Paying $21,000 to lease a $36,000 care for 3 years is terrible decision

My takeaway from that comment would be that hacked leases are great; unhacked leases are a great waste of money.
