Must be nice in OC.
We in LA are paying over $3.69 for regular and $4 for premium.
I just filled up at $3.999 / gallon for my BMW.
SELF SERVE & prices are outrageous compared to the rest of the nation.
Excellent deal you got. Iām in So Cal. Can you please PM your dealer please? I need to buy soon. Thanks!
Not if you have a Costco membershipā¦
Can you please send your ātransparent dealerā list? Thanks in advance!!
True. The lines are ridiculous. People complain about long charging times for evs but waiting in line to get gas for 30-50 min is fine is guess. The one by my house regularly has rows of 10+ cars waiting for each pumpā¦lol.
Hi guys,
Shopping for 2018 āleftoverā clarity touring here in so cal, but not getting anywhere close to the deals I see here. I have been using email and text communications only. This is the best deal so far:
Dealer email: āWith no money out of your pocket the monthly payments is $476 including tax for 3 years lease at 12K miles.(we only got 3 of this car left in stock.ā He says msrp for 2018 clarity touring is 37999 for my zip code her in OC
What do you guys think?
Also, for the most part, whenever I try to get to the specific numbers (msrp, incentives, etc), I get the silent treatment from most dealers. Is this normal? Makes me feel like I should call or go in person to negotiate?! Maybe email/text is not the best strategy?!
Canāt believe some dealers are still hanging onto their 2018 when the 2019 are already here.
Try another dealer- go out of your area. Try LA or Riverside county.
Incentives are very similar on a 2018 as my deal but you have to find a dealer that wants to move out their car.
PM me if you want some tips & dealer infoā¦
And this one is a winner. They have 20 units from 2018.
The only reason why I pulled trigger on 2018 was the discounts over the 2019.
I leased mine during the last days of JAN19 (28th). According to lease docs, MSRP was close to $39K and the final price was $26,8xx pretty substantial discounts (above the standard $7500 GOVT). Then take off the state rebate of $1500 and any city/county discounts and it drops the price even further (on the Clarity forum site people in other states claimed low $22K when the discount/rebates all settled.
After I got my Clarity Touring deal, my friend was interested and first week in FEB the price jumped $35 a month ($390 to over $425) . I did see some crazy deals on the Clarity base during NOV/DEC time frame but by FEB they dried up around SOCAL/SD county. I was surprised how the lease deals dropped faster than other cars during the same period.
Hi 4sallyPat! Thx for your feedback
Just got 2 offers 1 in oc and one in LA
-
Oc: 2018 touring, 414 monthly with taxes, 0das, 15 kmiles.
-
LA; 2018 base, 320 monthly with 0das, 15k miles
I like the leather option, but itās almost 100 bucks more per monthā¦
Ate these good deals?
Thx
The base is the best for the money.
I already have another car with the fancy leather and nice stuff but I got the base Clarity as a commuter car as I donāt need navigation between home and work and no one else drives the car to and from work (seat adjustment/memory).
And everything the base has everything I need: LED lights, 18" wheels, sport mode, and comfy cloth/vinyl seats.
The touring should be $80 more than the base so you if you are set on the touring, offer them $400 with tax included and see if you can get that.
Can I get some suggestions too?
This was what I was quoted.
Iāve told the dealer Iām interested in leasing but they never asked me how many miles.
Should I ask them what the monthly would look like? Or were they assuming I should calculate that myself?
I think I heard that there are no lease deals ($6K) for 2019 Clarity at this time - will probably get better near the end of the year.
If you are dead set on a 2019, you can do a finance to claim the $6K plus dealer discount as you have seen $8220 off MSRP. Donāt know if finance will give you a 0.9% APR - probably canāt combineā¦
To get the best lease deal look for a leftover 2018 which has a much better lease incentive.
Well, if you do, the Base has Carplay anywayā¦so you have navigation.
Or Android radioā¦
Yes, Apple Carplay and Android Auto is good for navigation using your smartphone but it requires it being plugged into it.
Wish it was available with wireless Bluetooth insteadā¦
Does 320 incl tax? Can you PM the dealer info?
Anyone know where thereās any 2018 in so cal?
A simple search on Autotrader will tell you where the closest ones are. There are about 30 within 25 miles from my zip.
