This adds payment, tax, miles, insurance and gas at 12,000 miles a year at U.S. average prices. The receipt adds every cost.

An estimate, not a quote. The payment, fees and tax come from the listing and the state’s rules; insurance and gas or charging are our estimates. Your dealer, insurer and driving set the real figures. How we estimate

Incentives

  • We did not read any incentive for this offer. That does not mean there is none. Ask the dealer about lease cash, loyalty, military and college graduate offers.

Rule: an incentive counts only when its source says it comes on top of the advertised payment, so nothing is taken off twice. Offers for a group count only when you say you are in it.

The math behind this

About 45 of every 100 similar luxury small cars we price today cost more than this one. Pool: the live ranked luxury small car deals we read, luxury makes with luxury makes only, each priced at the same miles and costs. A car that is not confirmed counts at its worse number.
