Question on Vinfast VF8 Rebates

Looking at a lease on a 2024 Vinfast VF8. They are advertising $249/month with only first month and $695 acquisition fee DAS, however after getting a price from them something seems off with the rebates. Working off the terms on the Vinfast website as a reference: VF8 Lease Terms

Dealer is saying that the residual is 45% of MSRP, however the only way I have been able to get to this number is if they take the $7500 EV rebate (not tax credit since it isn’t a US made car) off of the residual value, which doesn’t seem right.

Taxes also seem off and a bit inflated for PA based on the cost of the lease (would be buying in NC as my parents have a house nearby). Any help on better understanding this would be appreciated!

From the lease terms

Tax, title, license, registration, and dealer fees are additional fees due at signing

So that’s all excluded from the $249+$695

You can ask them to itemize the fees- but I’d probably start with getting them to pull that “millennium package”. $800 of bullshit

Do i see this correct?
Selling price equals msrp? LOL

Why dont you lease something from a manufacturer that at least wont go bankrupt within the next year or 2 lol

I do not think this is going to happen. I’m not sure if you know who is one of the main shareholders with “oil money” .
Also check how big the Vinfast conglomerate is.

This is a quote from September after sending one email with my offer. My sister choose chevy equinox EV for $150/m with $1k due at signing at that time.
Vinfast people couldn’t believe that Chevy lease could be less expensive :sweat_smile:.
Now the price should be lower IMO.

So many good EV deals this month, why even waste time on a vin fast

For sure, I know it’s not going to be a flat 249 and I know that it’s actually around $1K out the door, but the fees and taxes all seem way inflated for sure.

It is right, the US made law only applies to purchases and not leases. A lease however doesn’t have to give you 7500, the bank can keep it

spend a little extra and get a xc90 or lyriq

11

I’m not sure, but based on what research, you think VF8 is similar to Lyriq or xc90?

12

There’s no reason to even spend extra. There are superior cars that are cheaper than this. Ioniq, EV6, Kona/Niro, Equinox, Ariya, Prologue etc etc

13

far superior vehicles. as far as price checked signed or marketplace
