Based in Northern NJ and willing to drive within 300-500 miles depending on the deal. I am currently on my second lease of the same model, a 2021 Land Rover RR Evoque SE. My current lease ends in June and I’m kind of nervous about it. Mainly cause I don’t know what I’d want after this. I got this one for 3K down and $509 a month. 10K miles, 39 month. The generation prior to that $399 with the same down and terms. I am thinking I want bigger and really like the velar. My local dealer tried offering me $890 with 5k down. I let the advisor know that’s about $70 worse than the nationally advertised promo on the LR website. The main features I like that have been specific to this model which I really want to keep in my next car are the camera rear view mirror, and the hold function while in drive. Other than those two I’m looking for a luxury vehicle that rides good, quite cabin, and a smaller to medium suv or crossover. I’m fine with going up a bit, $650-700 ish, and fine with up to 3-5k down. I’ve mainly stuck to looking at Mercedes Benz, and Land Rover. Not a huge fan of the teslas but generally open to EVs. I’ve tried lease brokers in the past but they never were able to get me a better deal than I was able to find by calling a couple dealers. Everywhere I look I’m just disappointed whether it’s price or features. Any help would be appreciated. ---

Learn how to use the lease calc and come up with a target payment of your own using expected discount, incentives, MF, RV, etc for the term and model you are looking at. ---

I’m asking around for the MF, Residual, and Incentives but wanted to get a general idea of what others opinions were. Update edit: just saw I can post that if I support the site ---

Absolutely, if you have your ducks in a row on the calc you should be able to tell a dealer the payment (reasonable number, based on calc and real world discount/incentive data) you want along with the DAS you want and see if they will bite. > [@LH Calculator and how to use it](https://forum.leasehackr.com/t/lh-calculator-and-how-to-use-it/246415): > > One of the more common posts we see here are from people trying to utilize the [LH Calculator](https://leasehackr.com/calculator/) and struggling to get the correct numbers. More often than not, this is the result of user error, so let this be a guide on how to use the calculator and what values go where. With that said, a few starting notes.

PS, in general if not an EV you are going to find lease payments that are much much higher than they were a few years ago. ---

Doubt you will remotely even come near that number on any LH. Might have to look into other brands lol ---

I’m open to other brands which is why I mentioned those others and was looking for suggestions if there were any deals the community might have been aware of to point me into a better direction. Either way, do we think things will change in 6 months? I can do a one time extension. ---
