When did you purchase it? The 16th of April the day you posted?

 

Not sure if this question was meant for me, but I bought my 26 Passport TS Elite last weekend in August.

 

Well said. I buy all of my vehicles coming off a lease and certified by the manufacturer.
Why?
Certified vehicles have a 100,000 mile powertrain guarantee. Dealers typicall sweeten the guarantees as well. Extending by 12000 miles etc.
Most vehicles that have been leased are in mint to near mint condition.
The vehicle will have a car fact report or similar so that you can see service history and any accidents.
The dealer puts the vehicle through a thorough inspection and provides the paper trail for your review.
These vehicles are low mileage so you are buying a vehicle that is barely broken in.
You save 30% or more off MSRP.
Unless you are in desperate need of another vehicle, having to wait to buy a newer model allows one to really review the car/truck to make sure that it is the car/truck you really need. The 2026 Passport is on my list of vehicles to consider when they start coming back from leases. Through the information shared on this forum, I will be making an informed decision, not one based on marketing hype. I expect to see the 2026's coming back in 2027/2028. Until then I will enjoy my 2021.

 

I don't know if anybody who has a lease vehicle that uses top tier gas. Or goes crazy over the maintenance or changes oil at 5,000 miles. Because they don't have to worry about long-term reliability, they don't...... It's basically a glorified rental.

 

My dealership group had almost 450 new vehicles for sale when I got mine. Went to the 200's now back up to 350.

 

So Our Sonic Grey 2026 Passport RTL with the 8yr/120,000mi warranty was OTD - $ 50,000. I figure that's about $ 4,000 below MSRP... There was no one in the dealership that 100 degree day in Central Cali & they needed the sale.

 

It just took delivery of a 2026 orange passport Elite.......
MSRP $54910 INC paint, function pack,
$4500 discount
taxes 288.51 (SC capped at $500)
title reg $35

 

Decent Deal!

and, not sure why Passport got left off this list:

 

I didn't Finance enough for a tax break .. my entire interest is going to be around 800 bucks or something if I go to full term and normally I double up.. I didn't finance a lot
