Deal Check on Dodge Charger EV

Hello all, this is my first lease so trying to get this right. I’ve been a Dodge Charger owner for a long time and only considered getting the new EV one if I could get a smoking deal.

This is what the dealer was offering:


Here are the numbers I was sent for a 24 month lease instead of the 36 month lease that was offered as well as 10k miles instead of 7500:

$82175.00 MSRP
$72600 selling price minus $13500 in Rebate = $59,100
$1800 down, 24 months 10K a year miles = $416.59
$51770.25 residual
My $13,500 in rebates is $7500 EV credit & $6000 conquest

Here is my best attempt at the calculator: Leasehackr Calculator - Hack your next lease | Leasehackr

My questions are:

  • What they are offering seems like a worse deal than what they were advertising, right?
  • The were acting like they didn’t know about/didn’t have any BEV credits to use towards this deal, how do I handle that?
  • I have a $1,000 Bonus Cash Allowance offer that I have not shown them yet and not included in the above numbers - when should I introduce this?
  • Why is the calculator showing $400 payment and he’s quoting me $418?

Finally, what would be the best way to proceed to get the best lease deal here. For reference, I am trying to get as close as I can to this deal from @ElectricEliminator though my offers/incentives are different: 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack, 24/10k $175/mo $175 DAS - Signed Deals & Tips - Leasehackr Forum

@Lhr3339etron would love your advice - saw you got an amazing deal as well!!

SFS acquisition fee is $995 not $595 that the calculator defaults to. Changing that will bring you to the $418 the dealer quote you.

If you have the website TDM for $1k and have affiliate you would get another $2k. Calculator link showing that is below.

I could be wrong but I think only the 2024s have Affiliate at the moment, it looks like this might be a 2025.

Could be. If so then it looks like the 2024 RV was used. Rate finder for a random zip in NJ has it at 63% for 2024 and 61% for 2025 so I assumed it was a 2024.

This is for a 25. Dealer verbally told me 6k conquest plus the 7500 EV credit. I don’t see any reference to 6k conquest anywhere online so maybe he was just lumping a few incentives together?

That could be the issue. The figures they are using and what’s in your calculator is for a 2024. 2024 has $6k northeast conquest. 2025 has $2k northeast conquest per rate finder.
