How to hack a 2025 Kia carnival sx dark edition. I found one that’s been on the lot for 250 days!

Hey everyone! Thank you for your time. I’m so tired of negotiating. These dealerships won’t budge on anything :smiling_face_with_tear: I’ve been trying to get a lease deal on a 2025 Kia carnival sx dark edition. I’m in Indiana, I’ve found 3, and I’m trying to work with the dealerships on them. I got one guy getting back to me after I sent an offer. I have one dealer who won’t budge and their price would be $48,550, making my payment $774 for 36 months, 12k miles (feels wrong, wouldn’t break down numbers for me) and this other one I reached out to this morning I’m just starting to talk to. The thing that kept me from reaching out to them sooner is it’s a more expensive vehicle with the rear entertainment package that we don’t need($51k , $49k sale price). BUT it’s been sitting on their lot for over 200 days. What is a fair offer on this car? The salesman said their Kia sales have been very slow so his boss is very willing to do discounts. I just don’t know if it’s even possible to get this car from anywhere for what we want. Trying to stay around $600 a month with nothing down or up to 1k down. We have a 2022 Telluride EX and that lease is up in October and we only pay $555 for it. Half these salespeople I’m talking to via email can’t even give me the MF or residual. This is brutal :smiling_face_with_tear: anyways thank you for your time, and I’m sorry if I sound like I have no clue what I’m doing, it’s because I don’t but I’m trying to learn!

If you want to lease: get an Odyssey.

If you want a Carnival, buy it.

Your goal isnt realistic, choose a different vehicle

It’s 200 days on their lot for a reason. :wink:

Lease incentive seem almost non existent on these and MF seems astronomically high
A recipe for not being a great candidate for leasing unless they were HEAVILY discounted by the dealer which doesn’t seem to be the case.
