That would never lower broker fees. These guys are all independent businesses which have no affiliation with the site. Whether you pay 50 or 500 to join this site has no correlation to them or their bank accounts.

If you asked this question 130 years ago, the site would be called carriagehackr
Faster horses and fully loaded carriages, with birdsâ eye view cameras. Using actual birds.

Are you suggesting democracy is antiquated lol?
Iâm suggesting innovation isnât well-suited to popular vote. Back in the day lots of people hated cars and wanted to go back to horse-drawn carriages

Agreed. But each person promoting deals usually know what leases best this months.
We just need to agree what best means and define it.

LOL! I get your point but I donât know I would call this âinnovationâ haha
Good chat!
Dealers/brokers tend to think all their deals are unicorns.

Iâd say they present their deals as âunicornsâ, but know exactly what they really are

Yes, But real ones always know and openly admit what doesnât lease well this months and what leases best.

Iâd disagree here too. Many of the brokers on this forum arenât ârealâ in a legal or industry sense. Knowing what leases good and doesnât isnât a true measure of a ârealâ broker.

A âtrueâ broker will simply not post a deal that is not good enough for this forum
At least I think that would be the smart way to do it.

Maybe require a minimum leasehackr score to post a deal? And also require a calculator link and create a standardized text based posting based off of that maybe?
Thatâs an issue too. Certain cars will have a LH score of 15 where another will have a LH score of 8, and both could be considered good based on the programs on those cars.
Canât really do that.
Example would be the TRD Pros I just posted. Despite the score, the fact theyâre discounted is enough to make them meaningful to post due to the rarity of the discount .

Maybe have a baseline score thatâs different based on Make/Model? Might be hard to do.
What about being able to up vote or down vote a deal? Then the community can decide whatâs good or bad.
That would be a maintenance nightmare with programs changing monthly. I get where youâre coming from, but I think, from a logistical point of view, that would be a large undertaking to maintain.
Iâm still thinking two threads to separate the sheep from the goats.
Someone would still want a Camry eve if relatively it doesnât lease well why Tacoma/Tundra should be highlighted.
Thatâs essentially what Iâm trying to get to. Have an ability to highlight specific car/model but not overwhelm the forum with constant one offs.
Just like we had QX60 discussion in separate topics and it was helpful while BMW shitshow wasnât. I personally like how @Jrouleau426 post deals. Everything is right there in one post and occasionally highlights specific cars with better deal than spreadsheet numbers. It doesnât require tons of question on every model and especially trim.
But thatâs my own analytics preference.
In the other hand I also like how other brokers like @aronchi and @nyclife post deals with sample lease hacker calculator right there - I can change taxes and terms however I like right away and see how deal looks.
Both ways donât waste their time either.
But again - one off great deal everyone has every months. Those are the once get lost and would be helpful to somehow highlight them.

Iâm still not sure what youâre trying to get at.
Are you saying that we have 1 post where ALL brokers add their cars, and another post where ALL brokers add their unicorns?
Each broker/dealer gets two threads a months vs one combined per current rule.
They can use one for all cars they are selling and second to highlighter specific stock or model.
