Pretty low chance the company is still in business in 3 years. With zero down, this dodgy vehicle seems like a decent deal for 200/month bc you won't pay for gas and get to drive a new car. I know the car is sort of the modern day yugo, but still

Paint costs about 1k. (What?). And taxes and fees about 2500. So, I'm going to downvote this after doing more research. Not worth the taxes and fees - and all paint colors that are "free" are unavailable is sort of bs.

This deal has been ongoing for the past 2 months.

I highly recommend you look up reviews of this car, the 2023 version was widely reviewed to be the worst car in the US. The 2024 version is better but barely.

Also the real value of this car is closer to ~$30k and not the $50k list price they're asking for.

Check out the lease term fine print. After your lease term ends you have the option of buying out the car at $22k.

"The purchase option at the lease end, excluding tax, title, and government fees, is $21,712, plus a purchase option fee of $35"

So to recap, if you were to buy this car in cash or finance it, you'd be losing $20k if you instead had just leased it then bought it at the end of the lease.

All that said, I'd probably buy this car but I would never drive any children or old people in it. It had a horrible safety rating of 2 stars on the frontal crash test

A lot of companies charge extra for certain colors. Taxes and fees are on all leases and vary by state. Find me another deal on a SUV that's $200*/m and zero down. *excluding taxes and fees.

It's a communist vehicle. Ton of failures if you read in Vietnamese Facebook groups.

You can't update firmware via Internet, you have to bring to dealers to do that (2-5 days). They update every month. So basically you will get a lot of headaches with tons of issues.

The headlight design is freaky looking. Regardless of the other issues, that already turned me off.

yup but that same review group got paid and did the much better review on the 3rd one. money talks. even jimmy kimmel was cheap enough to take their bait.
