My 65 year old Mom needs a new car and she is looking for something that has a $200/mo payment or less. Main thing she is looking for is a reliable and safe car and that’s it.
Based in Los Angeles.
I’m thinking a Toyota Corolla/Camry or an Accord? Thoughts/suggestions?
A Nissan leaf or a Nissan leaf
$200/mo or less is essentially a non existent price category in today’s market.
Chevy bolt from @elopez ?
I can’t disagree.
You won’t be able to lease any of these cars for that budget in this current market.
How many miles per year would your mom be driving? Does she have a Costco membership? Some manufacturers offer additional incentives for members.
Would she care if the car was an EV?
Toyota Corolla/Camry or an Accord’s are closer to $400 then $200 
Market sucks right now. $200 sign and drive might get you a nice Yaris or Chevy Spark but don’t expect much.
A friend got a quote for a Camry in OC couple days ago. It’s even above $500 now for an SE.
Yaris stopped leasing over a year ago.
Not that many miles
No Costco membership
Lol damn.
So what would you recommend for $300-400/month?
Damn. What about $300-400/month? What could I get for that?
You should check out this site called LeaseHackr.com.
People post deals there all the time so you can search through the shared deals, dealer offers, or broker offers. Good luck.
So less than 10k miles per year?
Care to answer?
I would suggest signing up for a 1-year basic membership.
- Lots if info on this site.
Probably for the best
My dear dear dear dear dear dear Nana would like the same. Thank you in advance.
Here ya go, less than $200 or close to it with all the qualifications removed
This is what I can do on a Toyota Corolla SE:
$1000 due at signing
36/10k - $275 plus tax
On approved credit
Like others have said, the Camry and Accord are WAY more
Is the Encore the 3 cylinder crossover ??
Those are a big amount of discounts, hehe. $500 Sup/ $500 Militiary/ $1750 for Conquest
That’s $2750 to me and that would add almost $100 to that ‘$200’ payment.
