Deal Check: 2027 Kia Telluride LX FWD | 36mo/10k | $487/mo ($1,500 DAS) - Is this a good deal?
Hey everyone,
I’m looking at leasing a 2027 Kia Telluride LX FWD and just got this initial worksheet from a dealer in California. It looks pretty clean to me with no forced add-ons, but I wanted to get some extra eyes on it before I sign anything.
Here are the details:
Vehicle: 2027 Kia Telluride LX FWD (Glacial White Pearl)
MSRP: $41,480
Selling Price: $39,480 ($2,000 discount)
Term: 36 months
Mileage: 10,000 miles/year
The Financials:
• Monthly Payment: $487.08 (Includes Tax)
• Due At Signing (DAS): $1,500 (Covers first month, $85 CA doc fee, registration/upfront fees, and a small cap cost reduction)
• Rebates: $500
• Residual Value: $30,695.20 (Exactly 74%)
• Money Factor: 0.00293 (Works out to roughly 7.03% APR)
Additional Notes:
• Zero junk fees or forced dealer add-ons in the aftermarket column.
• Doc fee is capped at the standard $85 for CA.
The 74% residual seems incredibly strong, and I’m happy to see a $2k discount off MSRP without having to fight for it. Does the Money Factor (.00293) seem like the standard buy rate right now, or do you think it's marked up?
Let me know what you guys think! Is this a solid deal to take, or is there any meat left on the bone?
TIA
