Leasehackr score question

Different brands price differently. There are some that sell essentially at msrp as their marketing strategy. There are others that jack up the msrp and then offer big discount/incentives to give the consumer the perception of a good deal.

What is the difference between a $35k car sold for $35k and a $35k marked up to a $40k msrp and sold with a $5k “discount”? Nothing, yet the lh score between those two would be significantly different.

Now, imagine the $35k car marked up to a $40k msrp is sold for $38k. If you compared the lh score on it to a $35k car at msrp, you’d mistakingly think it was the better deal.
