Need some help as a potential first-time lessee. Last week, I reached out to 5 dealers asking for best OTD pricing and the urgency to buy by Memorial Day. I initially intended to purchase the vehicle with $5k down. Despite the pandemic, only 1 dealer seems interested he’s offered 3 choices - lease, 0% financing and 3.9%. For the lease, he’s included the $5k down that I intended for financing only. My zip MF is .00029; 54% residual & $3,500 incentives. Is it crazy to put $5k down on a lease?
I’m in Seattle. 98112. I’d love to work with a broker as I really don’t love this process. Seems like there is a market for consulting help to weigh through the various offers.
If you have not already, see if Volvo Tacoma wants to deal. Volvo Seattle and Volvo Bellevue are now owned by the same company, so they have the market cornered up here.
He’s totally legit. He’s just really busy. I would pay his retainer if he can service your area and set up an appointment on his site. The $150 will lead you seeing the $500 in total will be money well spent.
