Because of the taxes I typically only do 36+ mo leases, but the this month the Kia incentive for the leftover 23’s is $11k for 24, and $7.5k for 36…so that made it an easy decision. My first EV, and it’s quick as hell.
The calculator lists the discount at 11% or ~$7k and then there are $11.5k in rebates. I think the post may just need to be edited, but the calc looks good.
I’m not seeing anything online about the additional $11,500 discount. Is this specific to Virginia? Direct rebate from Kia? Your calculator link shows you put $3337 down, is that the case? Did you negotiate that money factor?
It may be regional, I’m not sure, I first noticed it on edmunds and then confirmed with the sales manager that I was working with. It was $11k, the $500 is military.
OPs title says “Pre Tax” and VA requires you to pay tax on the full cap cost of the vehicle up front. For those not in VA or with a different tax situation OP made it clear to help compare the deals from other states.
For example, if you got OPs same effective, but in a state with no or little tax you probably dropped the ball somewhere.
Can you DM me the dealer? I’m in NOVA and looking for a good deal and don’t need the GT. Curious if the discount is just on that model or of they have deals on the Light Long Range or Wind.
My guidance would be shop for a ‘23 if you want to replicate OPs deal. Programs are going to be different and there are probably less incentives on current MY.
I had a Kia dealer tell me that once a vehicle has been used as a demo, they can’t lease that car and incentives aren’t available. Anyone know if this is true?
