How the scores work
Lease communities benchmark deals with the "1% rule": a lease is solid when its real monthly cost is around 1% of the car's MSRP, and exceptional when it's meaningfully under that. The problem is that advertised payments hide the rest of the math - so we don't rank on the advertised number.
For every deal we compute the true effective monthly cost:
true eff/mo = monthly payment + (drive-off + broker fee) ÷ term
That number as a percentage of MSRP is the score:
- A+ - under 0.80% of MSRP per month. Exceptional; these go fast.
- A - 0.80–0.99%. Better than the 1% benchmark.
- B - 1.00–1.19%. A fair, market-rate lease.
- C - 1.20–1.39%. Below average - negotiate or keep looking.
- D - 1.40%+. You can almost certainly do better.
Payments are typically pre-tax and can vary by region, credit tier, and current manufacturer programs - always confirm the numbers with the broker. Deals without a published MSRP - or whose MSRP we estimated from a comparable listing - can't be scored fairly and aren't ranked here (they're still in the full list). Rankings update as brokers update their sheets.
TradeMyLease is an independent site: advertised deals are aggregated from lease brokers' and dealerships' own public postings (rate sheets, forum posts, websites). We are not affiliated with or endorsed by any broker, dealership, or manufacturer, and we are not a party to any transaction. We may receive compensation from brokers for referrals — compensation never affects which deals appear or how they are ranked or graded. Pricing changes fast — always confirm current terms directly with the broker. Brokers: to correct or remove your deals or name, email legal@mkn.us — see our Terms.
