I think he’ll do fine at his current price point. Someone looking for a short term lease can get into this with zero down with plenty of miles left.
A new vehicle equipped like this one would be $1500-1600 a month with a little over $7k down to start.
Looks like you and i are both in Ca, so we may not see it as the most ideal deal, but our tax laws and CA incentives make our leases much more attractive then may other states.
Nonetheless, best of luck on your lease trade.
Thanks!
