Sure. Send me a private email. I’ll need to see your lease contract.

I have suspicion that when someone comes in asking about a Challenger R/T Scatpack the dealerships main concern is whether Ally/any bank will finance the deal they get the customer to agree to.
The guys limited reddit history isn’t inconsistent with the demographic I perceive as likely to gets smoked buying a Hellcat.

Because the American auto industry for the most part (the part that exists outside of LH) view customers as prey to be exploited for profit. And they’ve had decades to hone their craft.
I remember seeing a McKinsey study where some dealerships provided responses that described customers as “idiots” and “uninformed”. But the most colorful was a GM that labeled naive customers as (IIRC) “piñatas to be smacked for money, but the harder you hit, the more money comes out.”
Think of the centuries of combined sales experience that permeate from the corporation that owns a dealership, the GM appointed to run it, the SM that weeds out under performers, to the sales rep working a deal. They don’t get to where they are by leaving a mark unsqueezed. Many customers don’t go into a showroom with enough knowledge to have a fair fight.
When aggressive dealers see a naive person ready to sign their soul for a Hemi, they will smack that mark for as much candy as possible. Sure, some dealerships don’t behave this way, but there are thousands who will.
Just look at all the garbage leases posted in this thread.

A sales guy reached out multiple times wanting to make a deal and gave this unicorn deal:
Audi RS GT ~$63k one pay!
MSRP: $153k
12/7.5
Apparently includes all rebates and discounts
Asked for this quote on a paper, got a reply that people shop around with their quotes so they do not give quotes unless you’re in the dealership.
@anon65069371 you looking for one?

2100 for a 150k car? That’s not that bad.
2100 for a 48k car? Now that’s bad

For real, maybe that 7 series has rear seat footrests. Steezy can get the details.

One advantage to getting Mopar/Jeep mods done at an authorized Jeep dealer would be that those mods should be covered under factory warranty in most cases. If you’re just installing random third party stuff then you’re probably out of luck no matter where you go.

yea at least its not an i7 lol
i think i might be one of those guys who got robbed on a Q5 to make up for this 
… can y’all take a look at my lease from last year and tell me if its true
some back story i had an x3 that was coming off lease that had 10k of equity in it but bmw plano was annoying me and i got the worst salesman at bmw dallas so i left…
i went by audi dallas and they were able to take my bmw and give me 8,000 of the equity i had in it so it out of convenience i just did it … anyway heres the lease…
I moved your post because it doesn’t belong on a deal-share of another car.
But yeah, if you’re curious, then yeah ripping some people off compensates them for going deep on a few loser deals.

Awful. I got quoted $31k on a base GT 12/7500 one pay. Brokers are sometimes worth their weight in gold.

IMO, it’s not worth ruining your day to look back at a signed deal and lament what could have been. I think the major issue is the Q5 Sportback doesn’t lease very well, so any lease on the vehicle could be considered comparatively expensive.
If you tried to lease a 2024 Q5 Sportback S Line right now… with interest rates being kind of high (MF is 0.00304) … you’d be paying about the same $720 monthly if you rolled in $8k for a cap cost reduction. Most of LH wouldn’t take that deal.

Unfortunately they do this because there are enough people out there that will pay this because they are told/believe thats the price of driving a premium brand.
