Thanks to everyone on leasehackr for the tips and tricks. We were able to track down a great deal on a 2024 Chevy Blazer EV about 3.5 hours from us (live in Houston) and purchased in San Antonio area. Got an incredible 24 month lease with 15,000 miles per year for $4870.32. With Tax, title and dealer add ons, minus rebates we were out the door for $6186 - an equivalent of $258 per month.
MSRP: $51,695
Sales Price: $45,215
Rebates: $3,000 (Costco, Lease Conquest, Educator Discount)
DMV: $547.20
Doc: $731.58
Dealer Ad ons (tint, protection, etc) $1315
Tax: 6.5%
We would have gotten a much better deal but TX requires tax to be collected on the full purchase price on leases AND has a $500 EV fee due at registration (so our DAS costs were heavy on taxes).
I sent off my requests after seeing a post here for a signed Blazer deal in San Antonio. After some snooping from the photos in that post, I contacted that dealership and they made a really good one pay offer for a remaining 2LT non-sunroof model. They didn’t confirm the numbers with me until after it was too late for us to drive down from Houston (3.5 hours). They were closed on Saturday, so in the meantime I reached out to a competitor of theirs in the area and they said, “sure we can beat their deal by $250 and ours has a sunroof.” We drove down the next morning and completed the deal. The prior dealer had already entered our military discount code and Costco codes so we did run into delays with the new dealer. Costco was kind enough (on a saturday) to provide a new code which worked, however we weren’t able to get a new code on military but were able to add an educator discount instead (both teachers here) and the discount was the same. I can’t believe we snagged it for $258 per month equivalent. Thank you Leasehackr!
