Almost 4 years ago when I was just learning the business and working the $290 $0 due S90s. Time really does fly. I stayed for $37 leaves.

I use to sell used cars but never really understood leasing. I had leased 3 cars previous to finding this website, and definitely got taken on one of them. I wanted to understand leasing better and stumbled upon here while searching google. There was a lot of good learning material and I could not believe the deals people were posting. Almost didnāt believe it and then it all clicked and started to make sense. With my new found knowledge, I went to my first dealership, and shaved off $225 a month and about $3500 off DAS. Insane. I hacked one deal, and then another, and another, and now Iāve kind of become addicted to it. I stay to see the next big deal, memes, funny dealer replies, and other peopleās deals.

Google search in 2016. Audi SQ5. Because I made poor decisions with my first leases and discovered I enjoyed the money saving/competitive/collaborative/shit talking spirit of LH.

Came here so I could get a car, stayed for the memes.
Honestly, this has been one of the places Iāve spent lots of time in 2020, lots of good memories. Iāve had the privilege of driving very nice cars for not so much money, and Iāll definitely cherish that.

Stumbled upon @loberant ās MINI deals in 2016.
Car talk, smack talk, and sharing lease wins with the community keep me entertained while I wait for him to make a triumphant return.

Stumbled upon here a couple of years ago, had no idea how to properly navigate the site so just forgot about it for a while, came back a year later when I started looking into leasing (which didnāt end up happening then). Never made a account until recently since I didnāt really need to post. I remember you guys talking about someoneās 3 series unicorn deal for $315 or something like it, had to stick around to see how in the world itās possible. And of course the speed some of you work on those memes, thatās just something else!

I found the website many years ago but canāt remember how. I thought the website only existed with the homepage, I realized there is a forum function too 2-3 years ago 
.
I stayed because it makes me feel normal. I thought I was the only person who constantly thinks about cars and car deals itās good to see others have the same problem.
I also stayed because I learned a lot about leasing which I had no clue before and make couple of good friends here. Letās not forget about the crazy Monday threads as well. They are always fun.
Thank you @michael @littleviolette and all the contributors for the fun and informative ride.

Google search trying to get out of $350 dispo fee after selling Honda Odyssey to Vroom (which replaced a CRV AFTER the third kid), found this thread: Honda Lease Turn-in Fees Fees and Fees and no common legal sense - #36 by thejuice2292
Stayed for the memes, deals posted (good and bad), negative equity threads, and other interesting discussions.

There are a few people who are reasonable and a pleasure to talk to. Aside for a select few mods that somehow need to get their power fix from this forum and keep turning the forum into the aforementioned ācircle jerkā, itās not that horrible, assuming one does not mention Tesla or Palluride ever under any circumstances other than praise.

You had 2 kids in a CRV?!? Thatās against rule one of leasehacker. 1 kid = 3 row SUV, 2 kids - suburban, 3 kids you need at least a full size passenger van possibly 2 suburbans if in-laws are somehow involved. Have you not been reading anything at all?!?

Really? Every post I have ever read about both has equal hate and love. Can you point to specific examples? I am truly curious. While mods can sometimes be a bit heavy handed for my liking I would rather they error on that side then this becoming a shit show.
As far as dissenting options being squashed I have never seen anything approaching that. Trying be open minded here but you are making some pretty vague claims without facts that frankly sound like you are salty form your feelings getting hurt.
I was on the lookout for a good Lease forum ever since RIDEwithG was shut down around 2014.

I post on an edmunds board called Chronic Car Buyers Anonymous. About 3 years ago, @28firefighter, @Qbrozen, & @pensfan83 tipped me off to LH which I stalked for about a year before I joined. A few months after I joined, I leased a 2019 Tacoma TRD Sport (DCLB) from @Bostoncarconcierge.

I have no feelings to get hurt so itās not that. Itās hard to show you examples when everything gets deleted left and right, but Iāll get you a few examples over private message as I donāt want to turn this thread into āseveral moderators on this forum are nutsā
