So, I’ve been trying to replicate the $20,800 deal here in TX with very little success.
I’ve emailed over a dozen dealerships within several hundred miles and some of them don’t even have EX Hatchbacks in stock.
I’ve been trying to leverage a one-pay to lower the MF and get the overall price down, but even with that the best deal I’ve received is $8,750 OTD for 33 months, which doesn’t even make the 1% rule.
Maybe I’m just bad at writing these emails, but it also feels like the Hatchback is in decent demand around TX, so they seem less willing to negotiate on it than a Sedan.
I’m getting the point where I may just take the deal to be done with it.
I’ve learned a ton about leasing in the past two months (mostly thanks to this forum 
), but I’m at the point where I’m just tired of dealing with dealerships and want to have my new car and be done with it.
The hassles of trying to get that last $500 or $1000 off is more stressful than just spending the money.
Thoughts?
