Hey everyone. I’m working on leasing a car for the first time and could use some feedback. The decision to go EV and lease instead of buying a gas car was a little last-minute so I’ve been trying to quickly educate myself. I’ve read through LeaseHackr articles and forum posts and feel like I’m starting to understand the key concepts and numbers now but definitely still learning.
I’m trying to finalize a deal tomorrow so short on time and not very confident in what’s been negotiated. I’m hoping to get some feedback on this potential lease structure. I’ve outlined the numbers below and included the lease worksheet. Any thoughts, red flags, suggestions would be really appreciated. Let me know if I’m missing anything or if more information would help.
I reviewed the SIGNED section and recent transactions but didn’t see anything related to Honda or other deals that informed if this particular discount was good or bad or otherwise. But again, I’m definitely a leasing newbie and could easily be missing something.. I postponed making this deal for maybe a day or two because I’m still not fully confident in the numbers so I’ll keep reviewing for insights..
Mind me asking if the deal for your Prologue reference above was recent?
Got it. And thanks for the SIGNED examples as well…
At this point I’m not sure what to do. The deal looks like it might be average – not a particularly bad deal but also nothing great? Maybe next step is to negotiate a little further for a steeper discount, ask for itemization and address some of the fees to lower the cost, 24 versus 36 months, other? Or maybe this is close enough to the likely best deal and it’s time to just pull the trigger.
Any thoughts from anyone out there with more experience would be much appreciated..
And special thanks to Nom_De_Pume for the quick and insightful help.
