Leasehackr calculator score target?

Newbie here. I have a question on the score that gets calculated in your lease calculator. I get that the higher the number, the better off your lease is. And I can feed in different dealer quotes and compare the scores. But it seems to me that doesn’t necessarily tell me if its a good deal or not. Is there a particular target or range the score should be in to know if the lease is considered a good deal?

Thanks.

It’s hard to provide a range because how good a deal is is relative to the region and the type of cars. For example, SUVs generally have a lower Leasehackr Score because demands for SUVs are higher comparing to, say, compact sedans. Regions with a competitive auto market such as Southern California tend to provide a high Leasehackr Score that may be unattainable in other less competitive regions. Because of leases’ market sensitivity, we ask our readers to provide their regions when they submit their lease numbers to the Lease Log so that other readers can compare apples to apples. Give Lease Log a look. You are always welcome to post your lease quotes on the forum to get others’ opinion on your deal!

I agree with @littleviolette.

My rule of thumb is this - LH Score of 8 is OK. 10 is good. 12+ is excellent. Unfortunately, you won’t get a high demand car in the 12 range…

According to the leasehackr calc, my '17 Volt lease had a 17.9 score. I’m good with that. :stuck_out_tongue:

The EV numbers are always off because you need to factor in the rebates on the front side :slight_smile:

@mung35 is right, although we do take post-sale rebate into consideration when we compute the Leasehackr Score on our Lease Log. :slight_smile:

You guys need to promote lease log more so everyone can contribute
