Would you accept this offer? Dealer is offering to trade us a brand new 2023 for our 2022.

There is a difference between 0 miles and 12,000. New car feels cleaner, tighter, and the paint sparkles more. And an opportunity for a different color ext and interior. It's basically like an opportunity to dump a lease after only a year for no penalty charges.

Can you explain what you mean? The payment is only a little more than 1% of the MSRP, which my husband said is historically a good lease.

1% of MSRP, example $25,000 car for $250 lease; $60,000 car for $600 lease payment

usually a lease is based on the depreciations between start and end. If depreciation or the value of you car goes down then you are overpaying the difference

Can’t argue with how it feels to you but 1 year/12k miles has the advantage that it has been broken in and you know it doesn’t have any issues, which pop up in the first months of ownership.

Op spend some time trying to understand this. It is more important that having a +1 year model.

It's a car not a new build house. This is so much bs.

I still don’t understand this. Do you mean you think we might be in better position in the 2022 for a profitable buyout at the end of lease to make a profit near turn-in? And the 2023 might have a different residual or something and lower likelihood for a profitable buyout in 36 months?

Or do you mean when this 2022 lease is up in 24 months, a new lease will likely be, who knows, $100-150 a month cheaper?
