First time poster…
Writing from Brooklyn NY…stopped into Plaza Kia with hopes of leasing. BOOM…$6k markup immediately with an $899 a month lease as their “best deal”. Ran across the street & came back with their “next best deal”…$699.
As someone attempting to lease for the first time I ask…is this even normal?
If this is not the right place to post please let me know.
Welcome to Leasehackr. It seems you’ve found your way here by watching one of a couple youtube videos that have done a poor job of communicating where to find the information you’re looking for, however, having current, accurate information for residual value, money factor, and incentives is important in understanding your deal. As such, going directly to a source that has access to that data from the captive banks is your best option. The forums at Edmunds are where we go to get that information, as they have direct access to it from the captive banks. You’ll want to post in the model specific thread for the vehicle you’re interested in and request the most current numbers for your zip code. It is often easiest to find that thread by searching Google for “Edmunds lease” followed by the model of vehicle you’re interested in.
Alternately, you can try the Lease Program Query tool on the Leasehackr Calculator, available to Super Supporters.

What you’re dealing with isnt really unique to leasing. Its simply a dealer charging a big mark up.
With that said, the telluride has never been a good lease candidate. Your best bet is going to be to look on the kia forums to find what dealer nearest you is selling with no mark ups and then purchase, rather than lease.
Thanks for the heads up!!!
