Have you considered other similar suvs from other brands?
Highlander comes to mind should be significantly cheaper based on recent deals.

to an extent, yes. I worked on dealers for the last two weeks on Tellurides and Palisades and theyâre just not budging. We looked at a VW Atlas, Nissan Pathfinder & Mazda CX-9 but it actually seemed like the Kia & Hyundais were better values in terms of what they came with at the price point
It happens. Iâve had cars that brokers couldnât go anywhere near touching the deal and Iâve had cars that brokers were way better than I could get.
I think thereâs more room here, but probably not a ton, unless there are other hidden fees at play. Unfortunately with the current market and this being a new, fairly popular model (and kia dealers still being high on the telluride craze), discounts havenât been amazing. Weâve had a few sorento deals go through here recently and theyâve all been not too far off msrp but I donât think any of them really pushed all that hard either.
Did Hyundai, but no Kia. Check with turner Kia.

Was worth a shot
Good to know - I appreciate it. I spent all day Friday driving to every Kia & Hyundai dealership within 50 miles to see if one would let a Palisade or Telluride go (even the ones with lower MSRPs than this Sorento) and couldnât get their prices anywhere near the Sorentoâs. I know its apples and oranges but it helped realize that although a little smaller, the Sorento wasnât a terrible deal.

At the price point of a monthly lease payment? Or the price point of MSRP?
Stop doing that.
Going to dealers is for test drives and taking delivery of the deal youâve already agreed on. Cast a wide net, but save yourself the hassle and do it remotely.

Both - many dealers around me have base Palisades around $34k and the monthly number they were coming back with was still around $500 with the money down and trade in above and every Telluride around was going for a markup
got it. It was the last day of the month and I was throwing up my hail mary. I had been talking to dealers the 10 days or so before and had an idea of where they wereâŚwas giving them somebody in the dealership they could close but they all let me walk out
Have you ran the lease numbers on higher trims? Sometimes the rv/mf/incentives make the higher trims make more sense.
No but I will, thank you. I really do appreciate all of the helpâŚI used LeaseHackr for a deal on my Grand Cherokee two years ago and it saved so much money
Thereâs no guarantee itâll help, but I thought I recalled the other sorentos that had been posted on here being around $600/mo, but they were sx prestiges, so significantly higher MSRPs.

Not sure how much this helps the deal but theyâre going to eat the last payment on our current Hyundai lease and they assured me there wonât be a disposition fee. Combined value, $772. Sorry!
If youâre looking to lease there is no point of tracking what the mrsp is if you were to buy it outright. All that really matters is the comparison of the lease cost.
Telluride and palisade are both leasing terribly right now.

Letâs digest this one for a minute.
Youâre showing $2k of trade equity, meaning theyâre buying out your current lease. There is no last payment or disposition fee for them to eat.
Have you got quotes from carvana/shift/vroom/etc on the trade to see what the actual equity there is?
Do not continue your search any further until you do this.

Sorentos are being sold close to sticker, or at sticker (sometimes over on the higher trims). Thereâs not a ton of room in them for the most part.

Got ya. Vroom is $17,200 and Carvana is $16,600. This moves their estimate at the very least, $600
Is the dealer offering $600 more or $600 less?

So it seems.
Still heâs comparing three vehicles that are leasing poorly at the moment. Nothing great to be learned from the fact that thereâs no significant differences in those three.
