I’m a current customer of Kia (leasing a 2014 Soul) and received a early lease termination offer that involves making my last 4 payments and applying $400 credit towards any turn-in fees if I leased another vehicle. I’ve been very interested in the Forte5 SX, have test driven and convinced this is …

[image] karlkras: Am I being unreasonable in thinking that the estimate tool should be relatively accurate (I’ve done other homework on this that would indicate it is in the right vicinity) and the price should be within this amount? It is reasonable for the dealer to get the maximum he can. …

Having never actually looked into leasing a car, it is my understanding that you pay more for the ability to lease- is that correct? The perks of trading in a vehicle every couple years is built into the price (as I understand it.)

I think the operative word is “estimate”. I’m sure one of the asterisks will point to “actual price to be determined by participating dealer, license, fees, taxes, credit worthiness, and other items”. Nothing is final until the contract is signed.

The vehicle built online is a guideline. Some areas of the country have a larger demand for certain models than others. Some dealers include tag and taxes some don’t. The lease cost through manufactures might be lower than the lease financers’ the dealer want to use. Also finding a vehicle that is a…

Lease offers on last years vehicles are intended to move aging inventory, finding a left-over vehicle that suits you may be a challenge. The numbers that I see are; $218/ month $2218 due at lease signing -$3100 discount on vehicle cost The $3100 discount probably can’t be combined with the earl…

If OP is running up against mileage max than getting out of lease early could be a good thing. If I had a zero down lease with modest payments but drove further than planned than getting out early could be good. But only if I don’t get duped on 2nd car details.

We had the same offer, a 1 year newer car for $271 a month vs 200, one year newer,for $71 a month, really? Getting rid of Old stock I guess as mentioned previously. If you plan to lease another KIA, e were told mileage will be forgiven, not a problem for us but a question well worth asking if you ar…

The lease “offer” from a Kia web site or any other brand will not include fees from the dealer and DMV. In my area the dealer will charge a $600 or $700 dealer fee plus fees for registration and state leasing fees of $200. These fees are taxable. In addition there is a $225 DMV fee which is non taxa…

Leasing has more ways to padd extra costs onto the final financial agreement way to own a car. If they try to walk you to another price, walk your way on out the door. Sounds like you have 4 months to find a new lease, if that is what you wan’t. Don’t get in a hurry, you did your homework so get your deal. Good Luck!
