After making 3 lease offers to about 30 Kia dealers for their in-stock ‘24 EV6 GTs, 2 of them played reasonable ball and one came back with an offer that I accepted at $409/month with $409 DAS including taxes. Demo car with 2300 miles. Flew to Arkansas and drove it back to Florida a day before we got snow 
Full story Deal Check - 2024 Kia EV6 GT - #18 by hidanielfox
First time leasing a car ever and I may be hooked! It’s a damn Kia with 576hp and 0-60 in 3.2s which is nuts, and I love it 
Is this 0% dealer discount on an out-of-state loaner EV?
The MSRP is $63k but after all the discounts they got it down to $40k capitalized cost which made this payment possible, it seems.
Congrats! I have one too and they are crazy fast and fun to drive. Enjoy and good luck!
I’m new to this, and I’m curious if you could share your initial conversations with the dealers? Did you just submit to them what you want to pay?
Yep, that’s exactly correct. Here were my 3 offers I made to about 30 Kia stealerships to see who’ll play ball. And you just keep looking until someone gets close and then negotiate with them. Definitely look in the ‘non EV states’ (like AR, AL, OK, NE) if looking for an EV, where they have an in-stock car that’s been sitting there for a long time.
Also, when you look on autotrader, look for new AND some mileage - 1k or 2k miles ideally - which probably means a demo car that they can’t sell.
You can totally do this!! It’ll take some work but it’ll be totally worth it in the end!
Did you bother looking for new cars, or just the demos/loaners? I’m working on this now and trying to figure out who to contact.
One other question, sorry. Did you send the dealers that spreadsheet snippet you posted above? What did you send them exactly?
Hi @richardjpearl , I sent them just the DAS and per month columns from this snippet. And since most contacts were done initially via their web forms on their websites that don’t support html / images, i just wrote it out in text as offer 1, 2, 3.
I did try new ones at first but none of those dealers were willing to get anywhere close to my $400/month target. The two that did play ball had demo cars with a little bit of miles on them which didn’t bother me a bit since I’ll be returning the car back to Kia in 2 years
