2015 Chevy Spark EV Lease – $0 Down/$169-177 per month YMMV

2015 Chevy Spark EV Lease - $  0 Down/$  169-177 per month YMMV

Thumb Score: 0
Setting aside the Lease vs. Buy argument, this is a pretty good lease deal and comparable to the Fiat lease available in California and Oregon.

There are a few caveats to this deal. First, I started by looking on the Chevrolet offers website to see if they could offer a similar deal to the Fiat lease offer.

I found the following:

$ 0 down, $ 177 per month lease for "ultra low mileage" spark EV (not including tax/doc fees/other fees). Check the attached image.

It appears to show for California and Oregon (tried Illinois and Kansas and nothing appears)

I called up a local dealership in San Diego and asked them about their lease offers on Chevy Spark EVs and to my surprise, was offered the following deal:

$ 0 down, $ 169 per month lease for 12,000 miles (not including tax/doc fees/other fees)

Sales agent was happy to execute on that deal but the Finance manager balked for a bit before agreeing to it. The important part was that the sales agent said the $ 169/mo deal was a STATE-WIDE deal so it should be repeatable at most/all dealerships.

Keep in mind that they technically waive the first monthly payment, but likely recouped it with an inflated docs/taxes fee of $ 840 (for me). Some of you savvy negotiators can do a better job of negotiating that down.

Other tips:

  • Check inventory at your dealerships first. While the sales agent said that you should have comparable lease deals for the other trim, technically this deal is for the base model…another dealership I spoke to refused to honor the deal for the higher trim (even though it wasn’t that much more expensive), so some dealerships might try to get out of it on some stupid technicality.
  • The difference between the two trims is negligible…it’s simply leatherette vs. their ugly entry level cloth seats and leather covered steering wheel.

I’ll continue to add more information and more proof in a bit. Good luck!
