Why is there a wide range in signed deal pricing?

Ask the Hackrs

Looking at the signed section of this site, I see some cars with a mega wide range for leasehacker scores, for example IONIQ 6 has 5 years all the way to 17 years.

How is this possible? Is the market super inefficient?

Also, I would go to a dealer’s website, see some attractive deal, call them up about it and get a lot of cryptic, confusing answers. They can’t tell me the actual price, it depends, its complciated, theres a lot of factors but an estimate they can give me is around double the price I saw on their website. Why all this confusion and a misleading website price?

Deals vary, taxes vary, incentives vary, lease terms vary, etc.

The issue with most advertised prices is people neglect to read the part about all the taxes and fees being extra and not factored them in.

If you see an advertisement that says

“$299/mo with $2000 down plus tax, title, license, fees”

that doesn’t make an actual quote of $598/mo with $4000 due at signing twice the price.

Are you confused that different people pay different prices on a vehicle?

And even when they pay the same price, but live in different states, they often pay different prices for the same vehicle.

It’s by design.

Same way all the time-wasting is by design.
