Worst leases you've seen

What do you guys think of this:
2018 Buick Encore Preferred AWD LOANER Vehicle (doesn’t even tell how much miles it has)
MSRP $31,360
Monthly payment $349/mo (including taxes and everything) for 39 months, 10,000 miles/year

L.O.L.
I told him this is really bad and I already got Jeep.
Then he goes:
"Jeep is well known for having lower quality vehicles for less money per month that’s not new news, comparatively to Buick which is mid level luxury. Also keep in mind that the quote you wanted was a sign and drive deal with everything included on a MSRP of $31,360. So $349 is actually very stellar.

However we did appreciate the opportunity! We also offer free service visits for our customer’s who lease and finance with us, which is something Jeep can’t do which is why their leasing is that low as well, because their customer’s pay more in servicing over their leases."

LOLOLOLOLOL I would love to fight him back but I don’t think it’s worth it.
I won’t even look into Buick for my next lease car. LOL SO FUNNY.

Depending on where it is it might be what the numbers are. What are tax, fees, rebates, mf, residual, etc. Just on what you saying does not look like trying to rob you blind. This is sort of an ok deal for average masses.

It’s NJ dealership.
I have no idea what tax, fees, rebates, MF, residuals are because he just gave me monthly payment.
But I signed for Jeep much cheaper.
Also my local dealers here quoted me brand new 2019 Buick Encore at $320/mo, so I think that is ridiculous.
Loaner Buick Encore for $349/mo. lol.

Did not see loaner part. But again, thats why you dont hear too many buick hacks. Still not sure it fits the category of worst leases.

It’s a little high for an Encore, but not “Worst lease you’ve seen” high.

$25k down and $535/mo, MSRP $79k and this deal was after negotiating it down, ouch!

I have a terrible feeling that this Range Rover thread is going to end up being another epic Accord Hybrid type of thread.

But Range Rover dude didn’t sign, he’s asking decent questions, and he’s not acting like we are against him and the dealer is 100% truthful and on his side.

Didn’t sign YET… He was throwing some hints out there about the color combination, etc that make me worry a little bit.

I’m with you on this. Some people get married to the idea of having certain options and then they find something that matches their desires and that one example becomes the ONLY one in existence for them, simply by virtue of it being available. They get tunnel vision on what’s best for their wallet and end up making a poor decision. I think that’s what happened to Accord Hybrid guy. Though… weird car to get tunnel vision on.

Married to the idea: check.
Tunnel vision: check.

Especially since I’ve been subjecting the family to torture living with 1 car for 2 months.

He only wants $12k of his down payment back…

I’m NOT sure Tesla cars can ever be good leases… Just because of their business model where there are NO dealerships involved (and obviously NO incentives rolling in), it is almost impossible to hack a Tesla lease.

So having a Tesla in this thread is probably a wrong example… (?)

That being said, I don’t know why anyone would lease a Tesla…

That’s a crazy amount of money for a Model S 75…

I guess he has a case of buyer’s remorse and is trying to get his money back. I feel no sympathy for that.

Almost $1500/month effective

You could easily buy a slightly higher mile p75 for a little more…

My mother-in-law leased a 2018 Hyundai Sonata back in February (I think it’s the base SE, she’s coming to visit tomorrow so I’ll take a closer look). I have no idea how much she’s paying a month (she said it was much higher than the advertised offer, which is $209/mo with $2199 plus TTL due), but I just found out she put over $4k down to get the monthly payments in a range she could manage.

I’m trying to find a way to ask her exactly what she pays, but my wife won’t let me.

Lmao ! Stay away ! Hahahahah

Cruze deals in SE Detroit are around $80/month…

I agree Erhard is pretty bad, they quoted a friend of mine a few years back $2k/month for a 530xi BMW lease. He did tell the salesperson that his dad was a multimillionaire however…

Here is one for a X5 loaner 20202020
