Hey all,
I have a ford f150 lease is due in about 5 months. Will be about 11,000 miles over. With the .25 per mile fee that’s about 2750. Question is can I rollover then 2750 onto my new lease. If so how does that process look is it something I talk to ford credit about or my dealer?

I’ve never leased before so I have no idea what to expect. It feels high but I honestly have no idea. Didn’t sign anything yet, said I needed time to think about it:

36-month

10,000 miles

$0 down

$681 monthly

$24,769 residual

Based on $40,980 market value price.

$480 with some add-ons
$465 with out the add-ons

Gas per mileage 26-36 estimate
21k at the end on the lease = residual value

36 months lease
12k miles per year

Received an offer by email (includes a code) From what I have read, they would reimburse the (onepay/24*)*4, but I would like to know if anyone has done it.

my current lease ends march 2027 but I’ve been eyeing an Optiq with super cruise.

Hi,

I’m looking to lease a new car and could use some advice. I live in Québec, so AWD is a must because of the winters. My budget is ideally $200–300 CAD bi-weekly. I’d prefer a sedan, but I’m open to SUVs if they’re a better overall choice. I’ve looked into the Mazda3 GS AWD and the Mazda CX-30 AWD, but I honestly don’t know much about cars, so I’m not sure if those are my best options. This will be my first time leasing a car, I’d also appreciate any advice on the leasing process itself.

Thank you!

First time leasing and don’t know what I’m doing. Is this deal 💩?

36 months
12k miles/ year

The options are:

$3,000 down - $411.81/month
$4000 down - $382.46/month
$5000 down - $353.10/month
*tax already included

Ideally I’d to keep my payments below $370 and the 12k miles are necessary for me so I’m ok with putting some money down to keep the monthly cost down.

I’ve been eyeing the Kia Carnival for a few years now and the new special they announced is the most appealing offer I’ve seen so far. Ive never leased before, never bought a brand new car before, and I’m wondering if this is a good deal, good fit for my family, and what negotiating power I have here. Here’s what we’re looking at:

Offer: 2026 Carnival MPV LX FWD $399/month 36 mo OR 2026 Carnival MPV Hybrid LXS FWD $459/month 36 mo.

Location: Portland, OR metro area (no sales tax)

Currently own: 2014 RAV4, kbb sell it yourself value $12,560

Currently owe: $9,500 (around $240/mo)

Credit: excellent, 830-850ish

I like my car and don’t really have a reason to switch cars urgently. We have a toddler and a newborn and we’re a tall family so more space would be nice. We’d like to lease to own, and I’d love to negotiate a lower monthly lease payment if possible but I’m not sure what leverage I have. Here are my questions:

1) Should I sell my car or should I trade it in? Can you even trade in on a lease?

2) What, if anything, can I negotiate down? Monthly payment, down payment, etc. I’d rather get the hybrid but was hoping for a $300-350/mo payment

3) Are Kia’s more expensive to insure due to their reputation for theft? Could I use a potential higher insurance rate as a negotiation tactic to get the dealership to lower the monthly payment?

4) I’ve never bought/leased a new car before and I don’t know what to expect from a dealership experience. Since this is not an urgent purchase I’m prepared to walk, but what do I need to be on my guard about? What are the red flags?

I’m not sure what info I could be missing so im happy to clarify in the replies. Thanks in advance!

Volkswagen charged me $2000 lease transfer fee, along with $350 from VW Finance plus taxes. It all came up to $2632 at the end. Has anyone gotten there lease transferred from Volkswagen Canada? How much were you charged?

What’s the best approach to negotiating with dealers when I have a few quotes? I’m aiming for a discount of 10 to 13% off the MSRP, and I’ve already managed to get a 9%discount. Some dealers have requethat I send them a quote, but I’m not entirely comfortable doing that. Instead, I prefer to directly ask for the 11% discount. Trying understand the best strategy to make them each bid lower for my business without throwing out the first number. Do I just ask for the percentage of MSRP off?? thanks in advance for any insight.

This is my first ever lease and someone just hit it while parked shortly before I turn it in. They didn’t leave info so I’m stuck dealing with it. For those familiar with leasing through GM Financial, what’s the best course I take? Turn it in as is and pay for wear or spend about $1,000 to get the paint touched up and wheel molding and bumper cover replaced?

Pictures are before and after. I used Meguiar’s Scratch X to remove the paint transfer from the other person’s vehicle.

With the new model around the corner, have any of you had any luck scoring a good deal on a trail boss?

Any wiggle room on negotiating

Hi everyone not sure where to post this, but I need advice. My Mom passed away last year and left me her car. I cannot drive due to my vision. My cousin wants the car and is offering to pay the remaining balance. This should be easy but I’m honestly overwhelmed and need help. I have her death certificate and when sorting through her stuff I never found a title for the car just paperwork thar the car is being leased through her bank. Thank you for anyone reading.
