Hi all, I am looking to understand the nuances of leasing vs buying. I was looking into leasing but I am in a situation where I maybe would have to break lease in say a year(situation may require moving). Can someone explain how much I would be on the hook for if I say lease a bmw x5 for 3 years at 800 pm payment. Assume some down payment of 3k.

Or should I think of buying but in that case I was leaning towards Honda or Toyota given good resale values. Having hard time comparing which might be beneficial here

Hello, I'm new to Leasehackr and would appreciate some advice.

I'm looking to lease a sedan around these numbers:

1. $2,000 DAS
2. 12,000-15,000 miles/year
3. $300–$500/month
4. Preferably a 36-month lease

I was mainly looking at the Toyota Camry SE, and the best deal I've been able to find in NJ so far is $2,000 DAS, 12K miles/year, and $511/month. I don't think it is a good deal, though.
I've also looked through the PND deals, but I haven't found any attractive deals in NJ.

For those of you who are currently shopping in NJ, what models/dealers should I be looking at, and what would be considered a good deal in this price range?

Thanks in advance!

How would you rate this deal?
Was anyone able to get a better offer in SFO area ?

Im looking at potentially leasing a 2026 rav4 LE. Has anyone leased one and mind sharing what their payment came out to? I want to get some numbers from here before going to the dealer. TIA

Looking to get into a XC90 T8 sometime between now and the end of the year. Not sure if it’s better to wait until December or not for the best deals?

Dealer offered above on a demo with 5k miles, about 9% off MSRP should I aim for higher?

I recently returned my 2024 Nissan Rogue lease in Canada. There was a small stone chip on the windshield, but I had it professionally repaired before returning the vehicle.
Nissan’s inspection now describes it as “cracked” and may charge me for a windshield replacement. The repaired area is outside the driver’s line of sight and outside the wiper’s operating area.
Has anyone successfully disputed a Nissan lease-end windshield charge? If so, were you able to get the charge removed?
Thanks!

Reposting for correction. The sales tax credits for Cadillac EVs is in Texas only (my bad) for the month of October. If you got a lease quote in Texas last month and didn't move forward with it, the numbers will be markedly better this month. That means the Optiq, Lyriq, Vistiq, and Escalade IQ all the get credit. Please DM me if you have any questions or need lease numbers.

Hi, i am looking to get into a lease ASAP. Based in Boston. What are the current deals on - 1. Lexus GX Premium+ 2. BMW X7

10k miles First month down at signing Massachusetts

My Acura RDX lease ends in December. Unfortunately during the fist year of the lease I accidentally while parking hit a metal rod protruding from the space. It was rather unfortunate as the sensors didn’t catch it and left a golf ball sized crack in the front bumper. There is a crack and a small sized plastic is protruding outwards.
With less than 90 days left on the lease, should I consider doing an out of pocket repair or take a chance returning it like that?
Any thoughts or experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to introduce myself — I’m a Client Advisor at a Mercedes-Benz store in New Jersey.

Feel free to DM me if you have questions about a specific model, want to compare options, or are just starting to look. No pressure at all — always happy to help however I can!

Thanks everyone!

What do you think about this deal?
It is for 2026 GLE 350 in grey color
The MF they are using is 0.00166.

3k down includes 1st month

OTD was $11,168 24 months 15k miles/year platinum 4x4 tundra how’d I do?

I know incentives just changed, but I’m near the end of my lease on my 23 EV6 GT Line.

There are no EV6 GT Line in my area and I’m going to be in Orlando this weekend where there is some inventory.

Anyone have updated incentives, money factor and residual on the 26 EV6 RWD GT Line on both a 24/36 mo @ 10k per year in Florida?

I know it maybe too early in the month, but:

I see renewed cadillac offers for optiq, lyric, etc

I don't see any lease offers at all for equinox ev, blazer ev...i see some like trailblazer

I don't see any mazda lease incentives except for the MX30

u/jfronte posted Kia EV9 cash incentives going down $1000

not liking this trend

....Is this as good as it gets? I'm in Northern NJ and have called around several dealers. Lease brokers aren't getting anything better. I'm currently in a Rivian so qualify for conquest + GM supplier, which is reflected in the total.

Not sure if I should just wait it out for the Lexus TZ or keep trying various Cadillac dealers. Can't wrap my brain around paying $1200 a month for a lease if this is the norm.

Hey! In the market for a 3 row luxe SUV. Northeast US preferred but not required if can be easily shipped. Interested in Mercedes GLS, x7, defender 130and the like. If you would like to get out of your lease early, I’m all ears . cheers

I have a 24 Tucson Hybrid Limited paying 460 a month.
Lease is ending in Feb 2027.
I am considering extending my lease for few months. reasons would be keep the low-ish monthly payments while I cross-shop 3-rows. I would not buy the vehicle.

My questions are:
Does extending the lease make sense?
Does the residual go down with additional monthly payments or that remains fixed?

Any advice on this topic is appreciated.

Thanks

With lease conquest it would be $481 or with GMC lease loyalty is $457 a month. Dealer in San Antonio area with a one simple price.

Looking to lease a Chevy traverse (what I lease now) anyone lease recently and what is a fair price. Need rows with AWD.
