Worst leases you've seen

No, you don’t

Damn. 20202020202020

What’s even worse is that most people in the thread are telling him it’s a “decent deal for a VW”

dam I didnt even know Pagani was a brand. guess I like to know the brands that are more grounded in reality of owning one day.

Bob Baker Alfa Romeo offered me $790/mo and first mo + fees DAS (~$1300, I forget exactly) for 24mo/15k on a $50k MSRP Giulia Ti. Clearly a “no thanks” at that price! Ended up paying just over half that elsewhere.

Wanna hear something funny?
My current Lexus GS350 sport is ending in June, so I got a letter from Lexus saying that I can get some incentives by leasing another car from Lexus.
The GS350 2018 looks no different than my 2015 one, I got a great deal on my current GS. Zero due at signing, 35 payments of $470(tax included) MSRP $56500.
I thought I would give Lexus another shot, but certainly not GS again. I liked the new LS, but it is probably too expensive, the advertising special is $5k down, $899 plus tax on 36/10k. Msrp $74,000, so it is obviously high. Then this sales guy said, we have a LS460 2017 demo (4K miles)in stock, great discount, 16k off msrp of $89000, do you want to hear a quote?
I would have went for it if the price is reasonable.
Guess what? The guy offers me $1534 per month with $2300 drive off… $1534 per month for a 2017 ls 460 with 4000 miles on it!!!
I asked the guy, for $1534 per month, I could’ve got a brand new LS500, or S class or 7 series, Why would I want to lease an old Lexus? I would pay $50k in 3 years, for a residual of 33%. He told me he thought the discount of 16k would attract me

The guys at this Lexus dealership certainly has a good sense of humor…

:joy: I called this one out ! I feel bad now!

Hello there. I was that poster on reddit and did not have enough info on leases to make an informed decision. I’ve researched my balls off in the past couple of weeks and now I know how royally bad they almost screwed me over!

I was guilty of that post above but now I am much more informed (and still working towards mastery). Currently working on a 2018 lexus gx lease as it is an outgoing model. I am proposing $533/mo. with no money down.

My wife and I love the Atlas but thanks to reddit and posts like yours, i learned how bad that deal was. But I am solely to blame as I did not know the ins and outs of leases. thanks to leasehackr and reddit, I am getting there.

So yeah. hi.

Surely he had a lien on it?

Otherwise $8k of equity as a cap cost reduction OMG :nauseated_face:

honestly I have no clue and hope that he did. But I would bet he had some positive equity on it

Here’s a whopper of a deal: http://www.swapalease.com/lease/details/2018-Volkswagen-Jetta.aspx?salid=1254284

Assuming it was a 48 month lease originally, it adds up to nearly $28,000 in lease payments…for a car with a $23,000 MSRP.

That’s gotta be a purchase that they are trying to make it look like a lease

You can’t buy lease end protection on a finance.

Great deal on this fully loaded Jetta!

I am not sure how they make these possible.

My sister in law is leasing a base Jetta for about $460 a month. She went in by herself when she just turn 18 and she is still leasing the car at 21…

Must have been negative equity, marked up mf, and a ton of fees and services charged.

84 month lease, I guess?
