Started off trying to replicate a Leaf deal like the one two posts up.
Ending up settling for a larger payment than I wanted l, since lasts months incentives were only good until 4-4, and unknown RV/MF’s were also around the corner.
$1622 drive off, $122 a month. “High” effective payment, but a heck of a lot better than this months numbers
Two days later decided to text the same salesperson to ask about SL Plus they had on the lot. He replied with $360pm to which I replied “it’s too much, thanks”. His reply was “what number were you thinking?” and I said “$200ish”. Got from him “$259 and it’s yours”. Picked it up the next day.

All three were leases. Jeep was $11,008 one pay for 60k MSRP (affiliate, acquisition waver, roughly 10 percent off and 7500 tax credit pass through). Mercedes GLB 4MATIC - 491/month including tax - first due at signing 36/12. Acura MDX SH-AWD was 441 including tax, zero at signing. Was 22% off of sticker when including lease cash and other incentives. Mercedes was 18 months ago, Acura was my first one 39 months ago so not comparable in this market. Bought the Acura because it had about 8k in equity at the end of the lease and oil change is 50$ compared to the 800$ service B on the Mercedes.
Damn it… wife won as usual. GLB went. We received 1k to return at 18 months. Had road rash on the hood, cracked windshield (2k at dealer), service B ($800) and needed tires all of which I was too lazy to deal with. First Mach E at sticker.
Swap complete! Out with the old and in with new! 2022 2LT is quite the upgrade over the 2020 LT, SOC so this 2022 will have a $20k residual in January plus I’m getting $2100 back from GM. Win win!
Wanted a black 6-seater XC90, so limited on options as most have 7 seats. Ended up at almost 11% off a demo from my originating dealer on the last Volvo. They also gave me $4k in rebates ($2500 xc90 loyalty and $1500 lease cash, regional to Midwest as every place is different.) They gave me 0 equity on my trade so I kept that too, not about to give them a free $4500 rather drive it, one dealer even offered me 6500 in equity but had only 7 seaters and didn’t give any rebate with their 8% off… With an extra car decided it was a good time to sell the 2021 Jeep 4XE HA Hydro $63k MSRP, Sold $58k same day to dealer across the street that was not affiliated.
