Good Lease Deal??

Sharing OTD price with taxes is not helpful. as it won't give you a fair comparison. Expect to get 8-10% off of MSRP as dealer discount then lease incentives. If you are planning buyout then do 24 month lease. My friend was able to get 5.5k off of MSRP (55k, GT2 AWD with puddle lights and remote start) then 9.9k lease incentive.
 
.. and that is your indication to run, not walk, away from this dealership.

To be fair, that works pretty well on a lease. Make sure you're getting the right mileage and duration, and any increase or decrease to the price will affect the monthly payment directly. With a standard loan they can do all kinds of voodoo with the term and rate to give you a small payment on a 9 year loan, but a lease doesn't have that much flexibility.

So I did not pull the trigger last night. Did not feel good about it. I don't think it was a terrible deal in the end, but felt some kind of way after leaving work and that may have had an effect on my decision. The price as everyone mentioned did go up from the agreed upon price of the day before. Cap cost I was given was $37.5K and yesterday I was shown $38.2K - a $5 increase in mthly payments. That would not have been a huge deal, but the SM I dealt with who was cool the day before, was very impatient and expressed it, but not in a mean way. Prob did not like that I scrutinized the numbers and asked too many questions he claimed he could not answer. I tried to get him to go back to the promised sale price, but they just shifted numbers around I guess to lower my monthly costs. Even after that I was ok with it. They brought it in for me to test drive and they did not do a goo d job of cleaning/prepping the car as was promised the night before. I was told it would be waxed and buffed b/c it was a demo car and it really was a poor man's wash job. Aside from the scratches, swirls and the watermarks left on the car, they did not even remove all of the plastic. I guess I was disappointed that they did not care enough and prob treated it as the demo it was. Oh BTW, the mileage was not 1300, but 1500, meh! If they had at least gotten that right, which should have been the easy part then I prob would have been more excited. The test drive did not "wake" me up either. To end this rant, maybe I was too much in my feelings yesterday and walked away from a reasonable deal!!?? Just could not help thinking though what it would be like post sale??


PS - They are asking if I am still coming in today to finish the deal, sigh!

We should find out in the next couple of days. Rebates haven't yet shown up on Kia's site.

edit: autobytel shows the new incentives, and they're several hundred $ higher on some models. see here for the full list.

I think you did the right thing going with your gut. I bought mine because everything worked out right and I felt right about it. Simple as that.

Yep, usually my best decisions are from gut feeling. I am scheduled to go back in on Friday...just to see if anything goes differently!
 
The lease incentive increased from $9000 to $9800 for the GT2 RWD in September, so if nothing else you have that working in your favor.
 
The first dealership (the one I was told to run very quickly away from) called back asking me to come in and meet with the GM about the car. They claim they will add employee discount to the deal. Anyone ever had/used the employee discount/price? Will they be using the Sept incentive numbers already?

Just a sales tactic.

About to walk into the FM office with this:
Market Value Price - $53760 (inc port add-ons)
Discount - $5500
Lease Cash - $8100
Adjusted Price - $40160
Doc Fee - $749
Acq Fee - $650
TT&L - $89
Balance - $41903
Thoughts? Need feedback post haste!!!
 
Are you leasing for the full term or buying out the lease? If buyout, go for a 24 month lease for more lease cash. Otherwise looks ok to me. MSRP is high for a RWD GT2, but I assume it has remote start, paint upcharge, or other add ons. Just make sure they're indeed factory add-ons and not dealer add-ons.
 
Was doing full lease! Is $638/Mth with $0 down a thumbs up!
 
More than I would pay for a full term lease given what competing brands lease at (BMW, Infiniti, etc), but not out of line for what I’ve seen others pay on GT2’s. Local taxes and factory options can bring up the number as well. Did you end up signing off on it?

That seems extremely high given the discounts you quoted.

I did! It was tough going in there. Prob pissed a lot of people off with my questions and repeating of those questions. Even got Costco involved LOL! Honestly, I am not sure if I got a good deal or not. I felt like information overload and at the end I just said "F" it! See what you think below??

The car had the port accessories installed that put the retail value at almost $2k more than MSRP. Dealer said they were delivered that way from Manufacturer. So the true selling price was $53,760!
 
Sure. As long as you're happy..
 
Just realized that the car does not have heated wheel! I thought all GT2s had it since it was standard on the GT1s??
