Best time to lease/buy?
Post Body

I’m wanting to get a Kia EV9. I thought I had worked out a decent deal but I am learning it may not have been as good as I thought. Someone mentioned that the 2025’s should be coming out next month and that it’s best to wait till the end of the year because the best deals will be in December. Is that true? Are the deals in December that much better than the rest of the year?

Edit: also, why is leasing a higher trim of the same make and model cheaper than leasing a lower trim??

How can you tell if a car is selling consistently? I’ve had my eye on this one for awhile and it’s been on the lot for like 96 days. The salesperson said that people are shy to buy the 2024’s because the 2025’s are going to have a different charging port that works with Tesla’s charging network whereas the 2024 one does not without an additional adapter that isn’t released yet. So, I’m wondering that if it doesn’t sell by December it may be really discounted since it will have been on the lot for a looooong time and it will be the later year model with older tech, is that a reasonable assumption?

I think it’s just really a niche car that either doesn’t fit a lot of people’s lifestyle or they just don’t know about it. For me, with another kid due at the end of the year I need something bigger than a hatchback. I want to go EV because, long story short, I had a scary experience at a gas station 2 years ago and I get really bad anxiety about going to gas stations that aren’t like Costco or Sam’s Club; so having something that I can fill up/charge at home is a huge deal. I don’t drive far so I’m not concerned about range or needing to use the Tesla charging network. So, all in all, for my specific situation I think it fits really well and compared to the other larger EV’s it is the most budget friendly and cheapest to insure.
