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.
