Hi all, Looking for some assistance in finding a lease and/or getting suggestions. Here are the important details: Husband receives a company allowance to lease. Limit is $3000 upfront, $750/month. He can choose whatever he wants. He currently has a 2023 Honda CR-V Sport Touring that will be comi…

Hello and welcome to LH. Who is covering the gas expenses, insurance and maintenance?

I’ve actually been hunting hybrid deals myself and its been a bit of a mixed bag. You can absolutely get the RX and NX for under $750 a month. Problem is finding inventory. The cupboard’s are so bare at the moment, ESPECIALLY for the higher level trims, that finding the particular model you want …

I can get you quite a decent bit under $750 with just $3k out of pocket incl all taxes, fees, etc on an RX350h Prem. I’m guessing that particular was steering you away from that because it is a very desirable car that some dealers don’t discount much at all. Prem+ would be out of budget if it is tr…

That $750/m is for monthly payment only? You have to cover the gas, maintenance and insurance? Everyone here is neglecting those costs for some reason LOL

[image] Zenek: Everyone here is neglecting those costs for some reason I assume b/c gas and insurance are (hopefully) relatively minor costs compared to the lease payment itself? We (the regulars here) don’t normally ask about gas, maintenance, and insurance when someone gives a budgeted amo…

The company covers insurance and gas too!
