Parent in law coming to state since we are having new born. Any good deals on 6/7 seaters?
I got spoiled with a 4500 one pay Chevy blazer EV. Lol
Anything that scores higher than 13 years currently on the calculator?
Looking for one as soon as possible.
Why is “Scoring higher than 13 years” a requirement? This isn’t always a good barometer of a deal.
Assuming you’re OK with electrified options, first vehicle that comes to mind is Mazda CX-90 PHEV, which has strong programs right now. Hyundai Ioniq 9 with a strong discount may net out decent as well, but will be more $ than the mazda.
In recent months, Infiniti QX60 leases were strong, but you’d have to check the marketplace / ratefindr for current incentives to see if that still holds true.
Ah I see, yeah I just thought the higher the score just means is good since I don’t know how those things are being calculated.
My blazer EV had 18 years, feels like I am robing the dealership. So I wanted to see if anything crazy like that is doable on the 6/7 seaters as well.
I’ll go checkout those that you have suggested! Thank you so much.
That calculation is based on MSRP, which is becoming a increasingly “fictitious” number with inflated retail prices. Some cars are worth closer to their MSRP versus others. For example, a 13 year LH score on a dodge hornet is not as appealing to me as say, a 13 year LH score on a BMW EV or KIA EV9/Hyundai Ioniq 9, because the latter set of vehicles pack a punch much closer to their MSRP versus the hornet, which isn’t worthy anything close to its sticker.
Related, you may take a deal bc its over some pre-determined “Good” LH threshold (e.g. 13 in your case), but you will stand to leave a lot of money on the table during those months where the programs are strong enough to net something over 20 years.
How long do you need a 6/7 seat vehicle for? The visit only?
If so, why not rent a larger SUV for the visit?
The extra hurdle is finding Texas sales tax credits on any of those.
Need it about 6 months just on weekend, rental be too much since I need it for so long.
The other concerns were the EV credit ending September 30th, trying to take advance of that lol.
Normally how do one figure out that for the sales tax credit? Reaching to dealership on a monthly basis?
And what happens with the vehicle after the 6 months?
Probably just be a weekend car to drive when grocery shopping lol. Other than that might be just sitting there… Hahahaha
This doesn’t seem like a wise financial decision if the only purpose is to address (some or all) weekends for a 6 month duration.
Have you done the math on rental?
Look in Marketplace
If it’s not there it probably doesn’t exist.
Hmmmm! Thank you!! Looked up Turo rental is about $3,000 for 5 months… I think I’ll go with this.
Have you considered a lease transfer?
