Don’t apologize! I wasn’t talking about your quote per say. I know they axed loyalty which is $1500 right there. I was also told that incentives are worse.

Hi Folks,

I have been in the market looking to lease an E350 or an M530. But wherever I go all I hear is “Low Inventory” or “Chips Shortage” or " Grab the deal that you are getting or the prices will increase"…etc.

Is it really this bad? what would be a good time to lease?

Yes, it’s really bad.

I read an article about the chip shortage and the person in the article said the soonest things could start to get better was the third quarter.

Hello, everybody,

I’m currently considering starting a lease but it looks like it’s not a good time. For example, I was looking into a 2021 Accord hybrid EX-L back in February and looking at the numbers now, it’s $90/month more 🙄

I called one of the brokers present on this forum and he told me it was the worst time he’s ever seen to start a lease…damn!

So I guess I got my answer but, what do you gifs think?

And how much longer do you think I should wait?

Thank you

Do you **need** a car or want a car?

I was just telling a friend the other day that this is worst (from shoppers perspective) car buying market since AT LEAST back before when 0% APR offers popularized in the post 9/11 era (‘keep America rolling’, etc).

I would only buy/lease a new car now if I absolutely had to or the massive equity in my existing car was burning such a hole in my pocket that I couldn’t even feel the pain of the new car overcharge.
