Leasing a vehicle?

Renegade was advertised for 16K.

Got it for 15K out the door, no fees, no tax, no nuthin'.

I'm claiming victory.

I did get up from the table when he seemed like he wouldn't budge on the $500 dealer fee.

...but it came off.

WTF is a dealer fee anyway?

Once I said I'd been watching three of them with the same options (turbo and manual trans) and what they were advertised for and how long they'd been on the market, they toned down some of the sales schpiel.

The first "total price" they threw out was almost 18K.

Be the F careful out there if buying from a dealer.


...and I'm sure they still made money.

...and that's also a lesson in trade in value and another reason I drive them until they ain't worth nuthin".
