Where to find MF, residuals, lease cash, etc

Besides the Edmunds forums, is there anywhere to find the month lease specifics? I have not seen the Edmunds mods all day, and I’m looking for alternature sources for the details.

Bunch of brokers and dealers here to help. What brands models and terms are you looking for? Zip code will help for ccr tax implications etc.

Ps. Excuse punctuation. On the mobile

Any of these would be helpful…thanks

Zip 60005 IL - 24/10 and 36/10 (substitute 12k, when 10k not avail)
2017 Optima LX 1.6T w/ value pkg
2017 Honda Civic EX-T
2017 Honda Civic EX-L
2017 Chevy Cruze LT & Premier
2018 Elantra Sport DCT

I think those are the cars I down to at this point, but if I can find a crazy good <$200 lease on something else that does 0-60 in less than 8.5 seconds, I’d be open to it, since I barely drive anymore.

Autobytel has incentive information

Thanks. It appears they list lease cash and Int rate, but not residuals. Anyway, there are normally 2-3 lines wiht different int rates. I assume the lower rate is lease, and the higher rate is buy? Or is there some other way to tell?

If Illinois does monthly tax, 2018 lt equinox all day long. With comp lease or chevy loyalty of course.

Not sure I’d do a big SUV. A sedan, coupe, hatch, etc. would be ok. Plus not sure the Equinox was meet my 0-60 in less than 8.5 second rule. That is part of why I past on the Encore deal, just too slow for me.

In other news, the Edmund mods still no where to be found. I wish there was a site that just posted all the info without having to ask on a car by car basis. Autobytel seems to be close, but they do not list the residuals, and the table they provide is difficult to understand which info is for purchase vs lease.

It only lists the incentives. The APR is for purchase. And yes, it can be hard to tell what is for leases and what is for purchases, but it does seem to at least be accurate.

Another good way to check the residual is by checking manufacturer lease offers. They will usually list the MSRP and ending residual value, which you can use to calculate the residual for the term posted in that ad.

Good point about backing into residuals, but most of the manufacturer lease offers are only for one particular model. So for the Civic, the generic lease offer may be for the LX, rather than the EX-T, EX-L, etc…
