It’s unfortunate you were unable to secure a deal from the Brokers you spoke to on LeaseHackr.
And it’s okay to share your experience.However, I believe it is unfair to make a blanket statement to “not trust brokers from here… They won’t be fair to you…” simply because they couldn’t help you.
There are many variables that go into any kind of deal, be it to lease/buy a new car or sell your leased vehicle rather than turning it in. And the last few years with COVID have added even more variables to to the equation.
I was able to sell my leased Honda to a Broker here on LeaseHackr a little over a year ago and at time Honda said I couldn’t. And that deal allowed me to walk away with the equity I needed to lease my Hyundai. I tried, but could not work out a lease deal on my new Hyundai with any Brokers on LeaseHackr.
I didn’t blame the Brokers here or LeaseHackr because they were unable to help me at that time.
I joined LeaseHackr because I wanted to educate myself on the process, and I like the idea of having access to the Deal Info shared here, as well as the Broker Community. LeaseHackr is an excellent resource for consumers, and offer members another option - one that provides us the tools to save money on leasing/buying or selling our automobile. There’s no perfect, one size fits all guarantee that it will work every time, no matter the circumstances.
My first experience using a Broker here helped me secure a Honda Lease for less than I could on my own. I knew the GSM at the Dealership personally for years, and he gave me his word the deal he offered was the best he could do. I didn’t believe him so I reached out to a Broker on LeaseHackr and ended up getting a better deal. The kicker was it turned out being from his Dealership. The look on his face when I came to pick up the car was the icing on the cake!
My experience trying to lease my next vehicle, a Hyundai, was NOT the fault of the Brokers or this site. There were many variables involved that did not allow me to get a deal using a Broker. But I did secure a deal on my own and the information I have learned from being a member of this site was helpful.
When it comes time for my next lease I fully intend on coming here to LeaseHackr and reaching out to the Broker Community to sell my Hyundai and lease another. Maybe they’ll be able to help me get the equity out of my current Hyundai lease, maybe they won’t. Maybe they can help me get a better deal leasing my next Hyundai, maybe they won’t be able to.
Circumstances at that time will dictate what help I receive. Regardless of the outcome, as long as there is mutual respect it’s not personal. It’s business.
Just as circumstances dictated how things went for you. The Brokers here couldn’t help you, but in the end you got the deal you wanted, just not here.
Sure, I was disappointed I could’t find a Broker to help with my current Hyundai Lease. But it wasn’t’ a matter of them being unfair, and it certainly wasn’t about trust. It was about my circumstances and theirs. They’re not a Charity. I do not expect them to make a deal for free. I only hope next time there is a deal that makes sense for them and for me. I’ll be happy to pay them knowing they helped me save money.
That’s business.
