Hyundai Kona EV lease offer for Dec; need calculator guidance

Newbie here. Hyundai just posted this lease offer on 2020 Kona EV. I’ve gotten the MF/RV from the Edmunds forum (yesterday, before this offer became available).

For 2020 Ultimate trim:
36 month/10K
.00109 MF and 44% residual
$7500 lease cash

I’m waiting to hear back from Edmunds on updated MF numbers, but in the meanwhile I’m trying to update the calculator to see if the MF has changed, but am stuck (due to inexperience). Any guidance would be appreciated!

Lease
$349 per month for 36 months with $3,899 due at lease signing

This is all you need to know to know it isn’t a great deal

True, I’m sure it’s not great. But if this is the car I want, I’m trying to figure out how the lease numbers look so I can make an informed decision about buying vs leasing.

Wouldn’t you be better off determining what a good deal was for that comparison rather than using an advertised special that generally will have lots of room for improvement?

Fair point…time for me to reach out to some brokers. Though I would still love some guidance as to how to work the calculator with this example. Learning to fish. :slight_smile: Thank you!

well, post up your calculator that you’re having trouble with and we can try to help steer you in the right direction.
