Used car market will prob normalize by end of summer/early fall.

Sell those leases now while you can !

Sell existing leases and bike to the grocery store ? Most people don’t have a spare car sitting around .

Kinda misleading price, if you enroll everything it’s over $300 a month

[Falcon01]

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.

It would be great if requests to review deals posted in Ask… had a poll like this by default:

Is this deal shit or garbage?

• Shit
• Garbage

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?

@MALI

Yes, it’s really bad.
Nobody knows when it will get better.

You can read here, among other places:

Shortages Affecting Auto Production: Semiconductor, foam, etc

Also https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/chip-shortage-hits-global-automakers/ar-BB1cA1Du A semiconductor shortage is pinching some of the world’s biggest auto manufacturers, costing Daimler AG, Nissan Motor Co., Honda Motor Co., Ford Motor Co. and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV production for a range of cars. Mercedes-Benz maker Daimler joined its German peer Volkswagen AG in announcing it’s affected by the industrywide supply bottleneck, without quantifying the impact. Honda said it …

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.

SO what’s the play if you have to get a car right now? Used market crazy expensive as well…

See if you can find a decent lease transfer to take over or order a Wrangler 4xE

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?

[Juggleben78]

I can wait

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.
