Real Lease Cost™ (everything you pay, each month): $832 a month, estimate (payment, tax, miles, insurance and gas, added up) at 12,000 miles a year at U.S. average prices. The listed payment is $279. 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
Confirm every number with the seller or the leasing company before you commit. The Real Lease Cost leaves out
registration, wear and tear, and excess miles beyond your target. See how we score.
