Trying to help my sister with leasing a small/midsize SUV in Louisiana, New Orleans area. Any hackrs?
Budget would help.
$399 Chevy Equinox
Apologies, she’s currently getting towards the end of a Sportage lease paying ~$360 and definitely put money down to get the payment there. I’d like to get her into something similar to a Sportage or a Sportage for under $400 all in if possible with minimal DAS. Tier 1 credit.
Pretty rough as Sportages are popular. @aronchi has them for $500 off, but you are still looking at around $2000 Down just to get it under $400…for a base LX.
Look at the Hyundai version the Tucson, that has some discounts.

Finance a Mazda CX30 or Hyundai Tucson at 0% APR.
Don’t put your sister on the path of spending $32k over the next 72 months and having nothing to show for it.
I’m looking to surprise my wife on her birthday (end of this month) and want to lease a 2024 Mazda CX-90 TURBO S PREMIUM PLUS ($63k msrp)
I have excellent credit, but I’m struggling to find any decent deals on this car. I’m looking to pay in the $600 range for the lease. Looking for 36/12. Located in NYC
What can I expect to pay for such a lease?
Any experts would be willing to help me out here?

Apart from the obvious “She’d have use of a car for 72 months”, I don’t think she wants the monthly cost associated with financing for now. Fair advice though. I’m on the fence about lease/buy for our next rolling lease.
If I wasn’t helping at all she’d be on the path of spending 40-45k so everything helps.
You don’t. You can be on 4- or 5-year replacement cycles instead. You can be very opportunistic about picking up the replacement so you get to choose the timing instead of scrambling for it with very little flexibility in comparison.
Looking at it through the monthly payments prism is the biggest mistake she can make.
How much equity is she willing to throw away? 15k? 10k? 5k? Are these throwaway amounts of money for her?
I’m really not sure what you’re arguing about at this point.
I understand all of what you’re saying and I also agree that purchasing is a smart move, especially right now.
She’s happy with her cost per year for leasing and would not be happy with the cost per year of financing. Arguing for the residual asset value at the end of a financing term is not something that’s going to sway her and I’m trying to help her minimize her costs within those parameters. Given that LH is built for this, I’m asking for help in that process.

Unless she is in love with this particular model I would avoid buying a car as a bday present.
There is a difference between the monthly payment and the total cost of ownership. Don’t lose sight of the forest through the trees.

Fair enough
Looking to try to figure out how to get a CX-90 PHEV in OR. I’m seeing brokers with 8%-8.5% off MSRP on the east coast. No one around here (I’ve tried OR, WA, CA dealers) will budge beyond $1k off and most are less than that. They claim the margins are very slim on Mazdas. Here’s a calculator example (without Gov/Dealer fees) Am I looking for something that doesn’t exist? How is there that big of a gulf between the brokers on here an about 15 dealers in the three west coast states.
It’s a brand new model, so it’s going to be tough to get 8% on the West Coast.
PS : Do you have Mazda A Plan?
Well, generally, I’m looking for more like 5-6% with these places, but yeah, I get it.
I do not have A-plan.
