Car Lease Master Thread

Where did you enter your loyalty?

When I fill up my details to sign up, they ask about my car/s and if it's leased/owned and when it's due.

[Luvisrael]

i know your into that but even for glass?

yup. Even a towing claim came up once when I was quoting insurance .

So what’s the story with RODO? Can anyone report positive or negative feedback?

[Hjay]

Loyalty, because I have a Honda now.
Who will occupy the 4 extra seats? Too big for my needs.

Doesn’t make sense loyalty would bring it that low. Do you have other discounts they’re applying? You sure you looking at the odyssey EX-L? That’s an amazing price

It was on the sale section. Not available anymore.

So what’s the story with RODO? Can anyone report positive or negative feedback?

So let's do it in a time map:

Wednesday 10:00 at night I placed my order, I was prompt to upload a picture of my ID card, picture of existing lease, and social security number.

Thursday 9:00 in the morning the inventory was confirmed with the dealership through Rodo that the car is available before they do the credit check.

A hour or so later I got a notification that I'm approved for the lease and the car is now reserved for me!

By 12 o'clock the car was technically ready for pickup - if not for Corona.

So the car was ready for pickup in about 14 hours from placing my order until the car was ready for me!!

I'm going to pick up the car myself instead of the free delivery option they offer because they told me that due to Corona the dealership can't promise me on a date for delivery, so Rodo is providing me a Lyft car ride to the dealership that's a 52 mile trip!

So my answer is yes I would very likely use them again, and it was a very good experience

[israshot]

Waiting for approval. Will report back the experience.
I got $330 from leasing companies (+$1500 das). I can't figure the reason for this huge difference.

Car was delivered today from Rodo. Do typically cars sit at dealers for 10 months? What are these dates on the key ring?

[Hjay]

Anybody here very try negotiating on Rodo? Do the dealers bargain?

The last 10 months were far from typical...

So just yesterday night you asked;

[mushkovits]

Last 5 or so was COVID. What was before that?
In any case what do those dates mean?

Their prices beat the others by far. Their communication can use improvement. The car looks nice. Just curious what those dates are about...
Also the lease is through Teachers FCU. One of the other brokers claimed to me -after the fact- that they’re a disaster...no idea if that’s correct or not

Did that broker give you an explanation how Rodo can give such below market prices?

I got $12 cheaper per month. You select the option 'make an offer' and hope they accept it.

Yes the make an offer option is good, usually the dealer would reply with a counter offer

I lost one of the keys I got on my Toyota lease. What do they charge if I give in my car at the end of the lease with only one key?

Damage waiver covered for me but ymmv.

[nucheiner]

yup. Even a towing claim came up once when I was quoting insurance .

https://www.thezebra.com/ask/will-geico-increase-rates-file-windshield-claim/

I had towing claim come up with Liberty Mutual after using Liberty Mutual Roadside.

I believe though that Geico Roadside isn’t reported or considered a claim.

Any DP which Companies consider Roadside Benefits a claim and get reported, and additionally which companies consider these things as actual claims?

(My gut feeling is that each company only counts their own Roadside dispatches as a claim)
