MSRP: $35,970
Selling price: $33,570
36 months / 10k miles
$0 down
Monthly payment: $467 including taxes/fees
MF: 0.00180
Residual: ~$22.3k

Dealer discount is about $2.4k off MSRP.

Trying to understand:

• How far am I to strong lease deal in the current market?
• How much more room is there realistically to negotiate?
• Should I push harder on selling price or money factor?
• Also comparing against Honda CR-V EX-L / Sport Hybrid leases.

Located near Manchester/Nashua/Boston area if anyone has dealer recommendations in the Northeast.

This is just my first quote. Any suggestions and how to proceed and what is the target lease price I should be aiming for?

note: Taking lease because I am planning to move to another country. So do not want to buy until I am sure.

Trying to understand:

• How much more room is there realistically to negotiate?
• Should I push harder on selling price or money factor?
• Would 12k miles change the payment a lot?
