Leasing a vehicle?

hyundai threw my wife a loop, though.

She had to finance in order to get what amounted to a $1900 discount on her 2020 (last year's model) kona.

She grilled the finance guy about minimum term and payments, disqualifications, early payoff fees, early payments, etc.

Had to finance at least 60%, for at least 3 years and make at least 3 payments.

She made 3 $2500 payments in 2 months, and then paid it off.

Cost about $60 in interest to save that nearly $2K plus the PITA factor, but that's a good trade in my book.

I LOVE that woman!!!!!
Yup. NEVER tell a car dealer that you’re paying with cash until after the deal is done. They make more money off financing so they’ll never give you a deal if they know you’re paying cash.
