Can you negotiate a car lease payment? Yes. But know the price first. đ
Someone sent me their Hyundai lease worksheet in a comment, so I ran the VIN through the Edmunds price checker. Hereâs what I found:
đ° Fair price in my area: $33,040. Dealer price: $33,860. Thatâs about $800 of room.
đ Hyundai is offering $4,500 lease cash + $750 bonus cash on a 36-month lease. Thatâs $5,250.
đ The worksheet only showed $2,750 in rebates. Thatâs $2,500 missing.
Before you talk payment, check the fair price AND the incentives tab with your own zip code. Then, once you know what a fair price looks like, go ahead make a clear payment offer, like: âUnder $400 a month with $2,000 out of pocket, and Iâll buy by the end of the month.â
