I’m pursuing a lease here in FL on a 2025 Hyundai Pallisade Calligraphy. Never leased, always tended to buy CPO and sell after 2-3 years and be upside in the vehicle.
12k miles a year, 3 years, $0 down outside of fees and taxes (about $1700 here).
Who in their right mind would steal that deal on LH?
Almost 25k to rent a $50k car, return it and lease again and spend another $25k on the next lease? imagine spending $50k over six years & have no equity… and rinse and repeat
Some lease the consumer wins; some leases the bank does. If you knowingly choose the latter it’s on you.
Thanks. I’m not going after that exact one, and we are starting negotiations by email on this. It’s a first lease I’m trying to navigate. I just don’t want to pay $900/mo for a vehicle that halves in value so quickly. Investing in a depreciating asset is silly enough but all of us that have done it know it’s hit or miss depending on the value after a few years.
I suspect this is a much better purchase option. Use the calculator to determine if any amount of reasonable discount will make this lease close to attractive.
It’s either EV or a few PHEV at the moment (Volvo XC90, Mazda CX90, Hyundai Santa Fe etc) for leases.
On the Palisade the RV/MF situation doesn’t allow a good lease regardless of what you do, and the bank wins regardless. The more you negotiate off the price, the more attractive it becomes to purchase
