I keep searching for lease deals in the US market. And after a couple of months of searching, I found whatever brand, seems like the total cost (I mean the total money you paid to others, like government, dealer, and bank, etc) to use a car for 36 months. It all dropped a range of $14K - $16K. So it means the cost to have a moving tool can move you need around $5000 per year.
I calculated Nissan Ariya, VW ID4, Hyundai IO5, and KIA Niro Wind. I do see some mini compact car models like the Nissan Leaf, Chevy Bolt can drop to $4000 per year.
I am wondering if the cheapest cost to have a moving tool is $5k. Any discussion is welcome, itâs better to include car models.
Are you referring to leasing or the lowest TCO vehicle?
Lowest TCO vehicle is to buy an older, reliable, used vehicleâŚpay cash and run lower insurance on it. Make the right choices and youâre in the green in a very short amount of time.
A significantly more expensive vehicle may be cheaper in the long run, as it retains value much better (higher resale) vs the cheaper. So while the cash flow comparison is skewed, the guy who pays âmoreâ actually ends up paying lessâŚand drives a nicer vehicle.
Totally speculative but if Tacomas hold value like they have the last 10+ years you can have one 200ish/mo if thereâs $3500 or so equity at the end of the lease. Itâs very possible but again not guaranteed. Fuel inefficiency will add to that cost though
Yes, Tacoma is really good at keeping the value. The gas price canât be ignored. I am in California, it is already passed $6 / gallon. Even if a 30 mpg car, 15K miles per year can cost $3000 on gas.
This is so state dependent primarily because of state level incentive on EVs. For example in NJ, you can conceivably get a 1-pay on a Niro EV for effective $200/mo.
With interest rates on money market funds exceeding 5% now, there is a real cost to cash tied up in ownership as well - part of the reason i sold my car to carmax, got the chunky cash and put it to work in a MM fund. There are lease incentives on many cars that give you a lower APR than that if you look hard.
Itâs difficult to find âcheapest car to leaseâ in todayâs market, because a lot of promotions in $200-$300/mo range have $3000-$7000 upfront fees charged.
You will have to pick one car at a time, with lowest MSRP, and check the MF, RV and incentives on it and create your own excel sheet, so you can pick the cheapest ones with lowest MF and best RVâs you can pursue. Back in the days all lease deals were advertised with $0 down, sign and drive. It was a common understanding that leases were best when you didnât have to put any cash upfront, and if you wanted to then everyone would suggest you to buy/finance. Not anymore. I constantly see âpromotional lease offersâ with low monthly and $8000 down-payment/fees upfront.
Right, because people like you that lease a Jeep Compass also cross-shop the national ripoff offers for the âdime a dozenâ 840i coupes and âyou see them every other carâ S-Class sedans as well.
Not sure what this gibberish means, but I pulled $333 cash out of my pocket to lease $38K MSRP 2023 Compass, and I am happy with it. No âripoffâ here, as wishful your thinking might be.

How much is your soul/hopes/dreams worth? Absolutely nothing? Great news! You can work for Volvo where you get $400 per month towards a new vehicle lease. So a xc40 recharge at employee pricing is about $400 per month and you can charge at work for free too! Remember maintenance is included as well.
TCO just your insurance.
TLDL if you want to throw yourself off a cliff we have a deal for you.
It means what it says. The fact that you donât understand it is fully indicative of how genuinely clueless you are.
Despite subtle, straightforward and plain GTFO requests you still remain, spouting nonsense and misinformation - often talking to or yelling at yourself in thread after thread.
Too bad for everyone else, or the â7 billionâ as you said. SighâŚâŚ
