Crap, you’re right. We’ll have to come up with a better name.

And you also forgot Share Deals, but I think you’ve already figured out @mllcb42’s sarcasm

Educate to replicate is my take on this site.
With that said, a monthly hack thread is cool but think Of the monthly cycle, many people won’t realize what is good until end of the month and the thread would get confusing between an S60 residual and a Honda Accord rebate all in the last few days of the month.
I’ve noticed excellent replicated deals come from a perfect storm of things and don’t usually get repeated the next month or throughout the year. Unicorns are just that so take that out of the commentary. In conclusion it would be difficult but not impossible. I would however recommend it be done by manufacturer and lead by anyone with fast knowledge of the deals early on.
Example:
Bmw June thread - started by someone who has all or most numbers and can easily figure the 5 and 7 serious would be great this month for leasing.

I won’t deny that convenience is a factor, or that what you’re saying is absolutely correct. But just take a look at the FAQ section. 16 posts. Ever. That right there should tell you the dissimilarity between knowledge being readily available/ well organized, and having to dig to find all the answers.
Sorry guys! I’ve been lurking and not posting on LH for a while but this one I had to respond.
IMHO, the basics of leasing have been shared here in such great detail that if you just search, you have the resources to get a great deal. I can guarantee that.
To prove my point, if LH closed off to adding new posts right now, could anyone deny that this place would still be a huge resource to so many people studying leases? The core group of members are here for fellowship based on something we have in common. Besides the marketplace, LH is not as much about sharing deals you can get, but deals that others have gotten.
I would say, 90% of the posters here aren’t even actively looking for leases (out of necessity), yet they post almost daily and are here to share info and give insight.
On the other hand, 90% of the visitors here see a unicorn deal, screenshot it and email it to the dealer to replicate “their friend’s” deal.
People that are well versed in leases know creating a thread of deals every month is a logistical nightmare as there are too many variables, let alone a challenge to upkeep once a week. Hell, even reading and posting on threads here weekly would be a chore for 99% of us.
I could be wrong, but I think what some people want is a list of unicorn deals every month to see what they should go for. Once a visitor gets their lease, I bet it’s 20 or 32 months before we see them here again. If you’re saying creating a thread like this is a good idea, how often would you check the thread after you signed your contract?
Sorry to say this but put in some work, have real expectations, and do research. No one will have the same situation as you (budget, timeframe, region, car make, model, color, and trim level, credit score, and all that). See what’s out there and create a deal that fits your research.
If you don’t want to, then use a broker. Nothing wrong with stimulating our economy. You get a great deal and are helping their business!

I think the general consensus this month is everything is very “meh”, other than some European farts cars, inventory levels are too low to hack a smoking deal.

2019 Mercs are still being leased at solid discounts. I had one dealer share here in norcal all 2019s discounted 15-25% off, depending on model. Others have also shared deals with high discounts on going into 20% before incentives.

Negative. This is a good time to score a great deal on a leftover of a leftover.
Looking at you 
etron
Thats a negative ghostrider on the ETron. Base MF went up to 0.00173! , and dealers aren’t blowing out/bending over for a deal, more than happy to take one for sub 300.

It’s possible, but it might be pink with steel wheels.

Base mf going up is a trick BMW plays all the time. Tinker with mf, residual and trunk money and you see not much changes. Plus uncle Sam is ready with his 7.5k bonus.
Sub 300, dream on though.

Residual remains the same. Trunk money is abound though.
Pink with steel wheels at .4% of msrp is what keeps me awake at night.

Nice. Good idea.
I think everyone made their point, and in nearly 100 posts only a scant few deals were shared.
Another TH asked me to reopen this thread so a horse may be beaten in the town square. 
This thread isn’t so much about June lease deals as it is about making a thread about June (monthly) lease deals. I don’t think it’s that much work if you’re Michael but it would be for many others. That said, an aggregated repository of relatively amazing deals, while tough to maintain, might be fun. As max said above, @lvs23 did it. Why not invite other volunteers to do it? Worst that happens is no takers, and then you can close the thread.

The thread has been up for a week so far and there’s been a bunch of suggestions that someone else collate this list, but no one has yet said “I’ll do it”
