Three days ago, I just got into an accident and had to sell my old Honda car.
Now I don’t know what I need to do here, I need a car and thinking to get a lease.
I have been driving that old Honda car for 7 years and now I want new technological car with infotainment.
I have been visitng a lot of dealership and even with $45,000 msrp car, they are offering $780 per month with no down payment, which I thought it is crazy.
Any Advice? and is it okay to just keep visitng the dealerships that are near me?
For one, don’t lease. Better to finance right now. If you need your payment to be in a particular ballpark, then consider looking at less expensive cars.
Agreed. I have a Sonata Limited and its a significantly better interior than an Audi I’ve had previously (although it was just an A3 so barely counts) and the tech is great but there’s fairly limited inventory and Hyundai dealers suck.
I think @Ursus suggestion of Subaru is pretty good too as Eyesight is great and they’ve finally fixed the weird issue with carplay appearing tiny on the infotainment screen.
I would also be checking out Mazda CX5 or better still CX50 if you can find one.
The Marketplace if they need something ASAP. If they can wait to order something (doesn’t sound like it) they can look at VIP pricing.
EyeSight works fine, it’s very fussy/noisy (it beeps and blinks constantly). And as someone who had CarPlay as a requirement since 2016 (last 4 cars), the 11” full screen view IMO is a nothingburger - yeah more maps real estate, but I have more glitches than I ever did in the standard double din view that Ford/VW/Volvo offered (alphabetical scrolling will just stop at some point). Definitely skip the wireless charging and stick with wired AA/CarPlay for less latency and actual charging speeds (vs a lot of waste heat).
Otherwise Camry/Accord/K5/Sonata are the obvious options.
Left field would be something that is or may be discontinued soon, like Stinger or Legacy. Those (counter intuitively) often do better in the resale value department.
still looks kind of high.
do you think this is a okay deal during this crazy market season? or should I ask for more discount if possible? lol
As from the other post, you guys mentioned about Stelvio and I was into it, but I see most of leasehackr dealers are not working with Alfa Romeo at this time and dealership near here are offering not much of discount. so if you guys know any other good deal or how to then would be great!
I’d check the brokers in your area in the marketplace. If you need something cheap to lease I think the best value is the Corolla SE like one of the brokers here had listed which would be under 300/ month lease if you just need something excluding broker fee.
