NFT: leasing cars in ny

lpdcan28 : 10/28/2014 8:54 am
been on a site called swap-a-lease. there are some dealers in ny, Brooklyn, and nj that seem to have some great deals. some of the places are called: high end auto leasing, royal auto leasing, wide world autos, marquis auto, and signature auto group.

so if anyone on this site has leased with these places, I would like to hear your experiences. I live about 7 hours away, and would be willing to make the drive.

thanks for any info!

I once used Legend Leasing in Brooklyn, found a great price on their website so I called. Their rep quotes me price listed price on site but $1500 in fees for tax, dmv, acq fee etc. which is also stated on site. OK no prob

Delivery day, car shows up on my door step but we have a problem. Price on lease is $30 more. So I call the rep, he states he did tell me that I wasnt paying all the fees. Now why would I pay partial fees and not get the price quoted on the phone and the net. He rattles off what fees my $1500 is covering and how he actually messed up and lost $$ but when I look at the leasing contract some of those fees were listed and added onto sale price of car. SO basically they tried to double charge some of the fees.

Do your research, ask lots of questions, make sure your are getting exactly the car u thought u were gettinG or walk.
I've lived in NYC all my life, and I've bought/leased all but one car

outside of NYC. And that one took arm twisting like you can't imagine to get them to come close to matching a price I found lower elsewhere.

Your best bet is to go to NJ or further north, like the Palisades, where dealers aren't as crooked as they are inside the city limits.
the prices you see
