OMG laughing my ass off here. [View all]

Leased a new car the other day. Leased it at a local dealer. 36 month lease. 10,000 miles per year. I'm picking it up in a few hours.

I had requested another lease quote from a dealer 90 minutes away, but it never arrived. Until just now, via email. Their lease quote is $70/month cheaper than what I agreed to with the local dealer.

So I just called the local salesman, 3 hours before I'm supposed to put my old plates on the new car, and said "Hey listen, I just got this quote from Syracuse (90 minutes away), and it's $70/month cheaper than your quote. That's somewhere around $2,500 over the life of the lease. What's up with that"?

His response..."Uh...I'll get right back to you".

Can't wait to see how this plays out after the new car locally is probably already prepped and ready to go out the door.
