Hi All,
Dealer is quoting me 621/month but when i try to run the numbers on chevrolet.com it shows this
Here’s the leasehackr calculator link. Only thing off is the money factor and i’ve asked dealer to update that. Its out of state dealer and i dont want to waste 2-3 hrs of drive each way if numbers are fudged or dont make sense. Can i ask for anything else from dealer as a sort of final quote

There’s no LH calc link in your post (unless I missed something).
If that’s their quote then that’s their quote. They don’t GAF what any other calculator says.
The ship for a good deal sails every time you ask for a quote so stop doing that.
my bad, adding the link now
Whole point of this forum is to get quote and see if its worth it. If everyone took dealer’s quote at face value, why would anyone even come to this site. If you nothing of value to add, just ignore.
Not even remotely.
You’re far better off using the information shared here to put together a well-researched target deal and then make an offer to the dealer. There is no good reason to ask a dealer how much they want you to pay.
When you ask for a quote and then bring it here for review, you’re doing a bunch of things that don’t work in your favor.
On an aggressive deal, your only value to the dealer is to be the fastest, easiest way for them to add volume and get a strong survey score. Approaching the deal this way erodes that value, lets them anchor the negotiations at their pricing point, lets them drive negotiations, and presents you as an uninformed customer. All of those things set you up for paying more.
The last thing you want to do is start a negotiation from an information imbalance. You should never talk numbers with a dealer without knowing exactly what they should be first and then you want to be the one driving the conversation, not the other way around.
Well thats your point of view. And you’re free to operate that way. I want to see what the dealer quote, try to optimize it so it makes sense to me and go from there.
By all means, offer up a compelling reason how going into negotiations without knowing where you’re trying to get to can be in anyway beneficial. The only one willful ignorance by the customer helps is the dealer.
New to the site and all the info etc. So using your theory/Advice how would one go about trying to get say a Mid $400’s or possibly lower lease on say a 67-75k EV GM truck?
Best MSRP discounts off top seem to be Demos which in turn are not EV credit eligible.
I would start by working out what an aggressive pre-incentive discount is, then calculate the lease based on that and the lease programs as they apply to your personal situation to determine what a target deal for your circumstances actually looks like.
From there, I would identify a specific vehicle to target, adjust the numbers as needed (for actual msrp, loaner mileage, etc) and reach out to a manager at the dealership to make them an unambiguous, immediately actionable offer based on my target deal. Something that they can say yes or no to without any need to spend a moment asking for clarification on, with the commitment that if they accept, I will be at the dealership immediately to take delivery.
The idea being to present them with an offer that they can commit to with the absolute least amount of effort and no question that if they agree, I’m not going to beat around the bush.
