How the Lease Intelligence Score™ works
The Lease Intelligence Score scores every vehicle from 1 to 100 based on how favorable current lease conditions are. Personalize your scores above — your incentive stack can significantly change which vehicles rank highest.
✓ Manufacturer incentives
Subvented money factors, lease cash, and special programs directly from the manufacturer.
✓ Dealer inventory levels
Higher inventory levels create more flexibility and competitive pricing.
✓ Market timing
End of month, end of quarter, and end of year create better conditions for buyers.
✓ Model demand
High-demand vehicles score lower — strong demand reduces the need for incentive programs.
85–100 — Excellent · Best time to lease
70–84 — Good · Solid conditions
50–69 — Fair · Average conditions
Below 50 — Poor · Wait if possible
