Helping out a friend that is coming out of a Hyundai lease. I have been using the following template and have sent it to about 10-12 dealers so far:
I am helping a friend who is currently coming out of her lease of a 2017 santa fe sport in November. She has been looking at a 2020 Kona SEL AWD and one of your stock numbers, xxxxx, with a MSRP of $xx,xxx was a vehicle that was spec’ed out to her needs.
I know that these are the lease numbers for this month:
36 month, 10k/year term
RV – 59%
Base MF - .00164
Lease Cash - $1,750 + $500 loyalty
I also see there is a $1,000 cash back offer on this stock number
Would you be able to verify that this stock number is still available and if it is, can you please provide a lease worksheet quote for lease terms of 36 months @ 10k/year, including all taxes/fees/etc. rolled in to the monthly payment. She has Tier 1 credit and if the numbers line up, she would be interested in moving forward before the end of the month.
Thanks again for your time and hope to hear from you soon.
I had one dealer reply back with a halfway decent monthly payment with just 1st, reg and DMV so I requested a breakdown of the quote.
Other dealers, seemingly all in NJ (others are in NY), are writing back saying that they do not provide quotes via email .One dealer even wrote me back saying that they have been burned in the past from people shopping their best priced quotes to other dealers and thats why they do not negotiate via email.
I know ultimately I should just move on from the dealer, but what happens if I just get stonewalled across the board?
