The New Charger Daytona Will Be Offered With a 0% Lease
What’s the deal?
- All 2025 Charger Daytona models will be offered with 0% APR on lease deals
- Offer set to conclude on the 2nd of December
According to a recent bulletin sent out to Dodge dealers, the upcoming 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona will be offered with a 0% interest lease deal when it launches. All variants of the model will be eligible for the offer, though according to Cars Direct, only Northeastern, Southern, and Central US areas are getting the offer. Whether it will be stretched to other regions of the US will likely be confirmed once Stellantis makes the deal public.
It is set to conclude on the 2nd of December, so now is a great time to head to a Dodge dealer to see whether you can score a great deal on a Daytona.
Discussion
Discussion: Are dealership new car financing deals really a good deal?
It seems like a no brainer, but not all dealership new car financing deals are as good as they look on the surface. Always check the full terms and be sure you aren’t giving up something better like a rebate. Also check to be sure you understand the full terms of the contract including the monthly payments. It’s worth looking at financing deals from banks as well, since the terms could be better.
The Jeep Wagoneer S’ Lease Price Has Been Cut Dramatically
What’s the deal?
- Jeep has introduced a 0% finance deal on the 2025 Wagoneer S’
- Around $16,000 can be saved over a six-year deal period
- The deal concludes on the 2nd of December
Stellantis has clearly sharpened its ax, as the 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S has also been subjected to a hefty price drop. This comes in the form of 0% APR financing, which makes purchasing one significantly more realistic for many Americans who can’t drop $70,000 outright on a new vehicle.
Compared to the standard 7% APR interest rate you’d normally have to deal with, you can expect to save around $16,000 over a six-year period. It is available in most regions across the US, though it is set to come to an end on the 2nd of December.

The Tesla Model Y Has The Same Lease Price As A Model 3
What’s the deal?
- Tesla has dropped the monthly lease price of a Model Y from $349 to $299 per month
- This makes it around the same monthly cost of a Model 3
Tesla is currently offering a mouth-watering lease deal on its 2024 Model Y SUV, as a 36-month lease deal has been decreased from $349 a month to $299 a month with a $3,993 deposit. When combined with the down payment, this adds up to $410 per month over the deal period, which is identical to that of the smaller Model 3.
For drivers ideally looking at a vehicle with more interior space but can’t stretch to the price of the Model Y, this deal answers your prayers.
Incentives For The Honda Prologue EV Now Available In 17 States
What’s the deal?
- Monthly lease deals as low as $229 per month can be had in 17 states
- The states eligible are: Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusets, Maryland, Maine, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Washington, Washington DC
Until recently, Honda offered its 2024 Prologue EV SUV for as little as $229 per month over 36 months alongside a $1,299 down payment, but only in California. This included a $1,000 loyalty bonus too, available only to drivers who already owned a Honda before buying their Prologues. For drivers without the loyalty bonus in Cali, or with it in other states, it costs $259 per month.
The $229 loyalty offer has now extended to a total of 17 different states, including Colorado, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. For those not living in any of the 17 states listed and don’t have a Honda loyalty bonus, you’ll need to shell out $289 per month on the same terms. The incentive is set to end on January 2nd, 2025.
The 2025 BMW X3 Has Received New Incentives
What’s the deal?
- The finance APR rate for the 2025 X3 has been reduced to 4.49% from 5.29%
The brand-new 2025 BMW X3 was released at a higher price than its predecessor, and was subject to a lack of attractive buying incentives. BMW has now moved to improve things somewhat, and it has now dropped the finance APR rate for new X3s to 4.49% from 5.29% over 60 months.
It must be noted that the terms for the 2024 X3 model are significantly better at 2.99% over an identical period, though it depends on whether you’re happy to take on the older generation of the vehicle.
Incentives Leveled At BMW i4 Can Now Be Utilized By Every Buyer
What’s the deal?
- BMW has opened up its $1,000 Conquest program saving up to drivers who own any brand of car and want to switch to a 2025 i4.
- The deal only covers i4 model. Other BMW models are still subject to specific manufacturer restrictions.
In an attempt to tempt EV drivers away from rivals such as Tesla, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz, BMW established its Conquest program. This consisted of offering $1,000 to drivers willing to switch to any of BMWs EVs or plug-in hybrid models from these manufacturers. BMW has now lifted the restrictions on the i4 specifically, so that no matter what car you currently own, you are eligible for the $1,000 bonus if you switch.
Loyal BMW owners, meanwhile, can take advantage of a $1,000 loyalty bonus towards a new I4, so everybody wins.
The 2025 Toyota RAV4 Has Already Been Treated To Juicy Incentives
What’s the deal?
- The 2025 Toyota RAV4 has been given the same lease interest rates as cheaper 2024 models
- 2025 RAV4s can be had for 4.99% APR over 60 months, and at 5.99% over 72 months
For drivers weighing up whether to buy a brand-new 2025 Toyota RAV4 or an in-theory cheaper 2024 edition, Toyota has made it easier to opt for the newer model. It has begun offering a 60-month lease deal for the 2025 RAV4 at 4.99% APR, two percent lower than usual. This matches the deals leveled at the 2024 model, so you won’t lose much by opting for the newer option.
For those wanting a longer-term period, a 2025 RAV4 can be had with 5.99% APR over 72 months. These deals apply to the standard version of the car as well as the Hybrid version.

All 2024 CLA variants are eligible for the incentive, including the hot CLA45. For those not fussed about waiting for the refreshed CLA, this deal could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
