Hi all, new to leasehackrs and new to leasing in general. Thinking about trading my Alfa Giulia in to take advantage of high used car values, but that likely means I need to scoop up something new. Leasing makes great sense as I don’t want to be worrying about maintenance on an older car with a couple of kids and I like switching cars up every couple of years.
I found this 2020 Ford Edge ST with a large discount over sticker, but it’s more than I was hoping to spend and I don’t know if I love the car. If I’m only owning it for a couple of years, then perfect! The link to the car is here:
The description for the lease deal is here:

So, it’s $379 a month but $8k down. I can’t tell if that’s a good deal or not. Looks to be a ton off MSRP, but I can’t read the lease the way you guys can!
