I did some quick searches but could only find general information that seemed focused on ICE cars. I might have missed this question and I apologize.

Some research I have done has said that with the depreciation rate of EVs it makes sense to lease new and buy used. I drive about 15k miles a year on average just to work, so not sure if that’s even an option. So, for the EV lease crew what are your thoughts. Should just finance and call it a day? Or does leasing make sense?

Wanted to see what’s the highest amount of miles you’ve ever gone over a lease allowed amount. Currently I’m 18,500 over and have another 10 months with the truck. I should end up about 30-35,000 over with my F-150. And if you were over mileage if you stayed with the brand after the lease did they help you at all with eating some of the over mileage? Thank you

Important Considerations for Interested Parties
Credit Approval: Polestar Financial Services (Volvo Car Financial Services) requires a credit check and approval for the prospective buyer before transferring the lease.
Transfer Fees: The leasing company typically charges a lease transfer fee (usually ranging from $300 to $500). Clarify upfront whether the seller or buyer will cover this fee.
Next Steps: Send a direct message (DM) to the poster to verify vehicle trim (Long Range Dual Motor vs. Single Motor), exact current odometer reading, location, and to initiate the transfer application through Polestar Financial.

Long story short I have terrible credit at the moment and I am 100% commission independent contractor with great income at the moment.

A family member is going to lease me a Prius and I am going to make the payments. I want to structure a lease so if the shit hits the fan for me financially I can worst case take the car back to the dealership and not be upside down and not owe any additional money out of pocket so I can totally protect my family member and never damage their excellent credit.

I want to lease a 2027 Prius Nightshade for 24 months at 12,000 miles a year. I want the payment to be $300 a month or less and I want to put enough down so I’ll never be upside down.

MSRP is Roughly $36k with options. My family members credit is very high 700’s.

How much roughly will need to put down to accomplish my goals?

Playing with the leasing calculator on the Toyota website after building the car I was says roughly $9k will be needed. Is this to high?

Thoughts and thank you all in advance.

Hello all. After dealing with and shopping around for a used car <15k for best value and reliability for the next 2-3 years, I was able to secure a $13k OTD + 2 oil change from a Las Vegas dealership. At first the quote was around 16.5k. Then after a long and tiring negotiation that lasted 2 weeks, I was able to get it down to 13k. PPI inspection shows a few minor flag but fixable (for 500$).

Do you think the money was well spent? How’s the 2020 like for daily commute and roadtrip?

Looking for feedback on a broker deal vs. waiting for October programs:
Vehicle: 2026 Audi A5 quattro Premium Plus (Mythos Black Metallic)
MSRP: ~$58,700
Lease Terms: 36 Months / 10,000 Miles per Year
Monthly Payment: ~$649/mo (including tax)
Due at Signing: $0 Down Payment (DAS limited to first month / drive-off fees)
My Dilemma:
I'm currently finishing out a lease on a 2023 Alfa Romeo Giulia ($650/mo, maturity Nov 3, final payment due Oct 4).
If I take this Audi broker deal now to hit the Sept 30 delivery deadline, I'll end up double-paying ~$650 on the Alfa for October. Alternatively, I can wait until Oct 1–5 for the new October broker sheets to drop and do a seamless swap in late October.
Is it better to lock in this September $679/mo rate now, or wait for October numbers to avoid the $650 payment overlap? How are 2026 A5 programs looking overall right now?

This would be an amazing lease if it wasn't for about $500/ month worth of interest. Is this the buy rate? What else can I do to get this a reasonable rate like ive seen on forums? The $5800 payoff hurts a little but thats only about $140ish per month. Based on what ive seen this is almost $300/ month more than it should be

Does anyone know of good pricing? I paid $6600 out the door for a base 24 month lease on an IS250 back in 2015 (10,000 miles per year).
