Tesla Drops Killer Model 3 Lease Deal for July
View post: Nissan Sales Are Down, But These 3 Cheap Cars Are Flying Off the Lot Tesla Model 3 Lease deal for July If Tesla's mildly redesigned Model 3 has been on your shopping list for a while, the automaker's newest lease deal might make it more appealing for you. The lease deals vary depending on which model you choose and how much money you put down, but they seem to be nationwide. Always check Tesla's website yourself for potential personalized offers. The Model 3 Long Range RWD can be had for $349/month for 36 months with $3,000 down and 10,000 miles per year. The Long Range AWD model jumps to $549/month for 36 months with $3,000 down and 10,000 miles per year. Lastly, the Performance AWD has the highest cost, at $849/month for 36 months with $3,000 down and 10,000 miles per year. The down payments can be adjusted for lower monthly payments, but there are limits depending on the model you choose. Interested parties may also be eligible for the $7,500 Tesla incentive, along with a $1,000 off Military, First Responder, Teacher, and Student offer, or a $1,000 Tesla Credit and $1,000 cash from Lyft for verified Lyft drivers. Tesla Model 3 — Source: Tesla Would you rather have $0 down? Potential lessees who want to save money on the upfront costs can pay $0 at signing, with some adjustments to the monthly payment. We have estimated the monthly payments by spreading the amount at signing over the lease's term. Given the equal down payment, all models would carry an extra ~$83 per month. The Model 3 Long Range RWD would get a total estimated monthly payment of $432, the Long Range AWD would jump to $632, while the Performance AWD would increase to $932.

The newest Model 3 was upgraded last year to a 79.7 kWh lithium-ion battery that bestows the car with 286 hp and a 0-60 mph time of 4.9 seconds in the single-motor RWD or 4.2 seconds in the dual-motor AWD. That former RWD setup will give you an EPA-estimated 363 miles of range, while the AWD drops down slightly to 346 miles. Charging speed is slightly lower in the AWD as well, with it adding up to 185 miles in 15 minutes compared to the RWD's 195 miles in 15 minutes. If power is your goal, though, you should opt for the Model 3 Performance. Its dual-motor AWD setup boasts a trim-topping 510 hp and a 0-60 mph time of 2.9 seconds. Its EPA-estimated range suffers heavily, however, dropping to 298 miles. Its charging abilities are also lacking compared to its siblings, adding up to 142 miles in 15 minutes. Other goodies, like sports seats and adaptive suspensions, are also included. 2024 Tesla Model 3 Performance — Source: Tesla The 24 cu ft of cargo space is the same across all three models, with the cabin sporting a 15.4-inch landscape-oriented touchscreen that controls infotainment and most vehicular functions, including shifting duties. No Android Auto or Apple CarPlay is available, putting the Model 3 at a heavy disadvantage compared to other EVs, but at least you can play games on the infotainment screen while you wait. The Model 3 Long Range RWD starts at $42,490, the Long Range AWD starts at $47,490, while the Performance AWD starts at $54,990. Final thoughts Lease offers can vary based on location and specific vehicle configuration (trim level, options, etc.) and are subject to credit approval. Advertised payments typically exclude taxes, title, registration, and other potential fees.

Major lender cuts mortgage rates to best buys days after Halifax, Barclays and HSBC offer better deals
One of Britain's biggest mortgage lenders has announced it will cut rates on its home loans to best buy levels. From tomorrow, Nationwide Building Society will lower mortgage rates by up to 0.2 percentage points across its fixed rate deals. It follows hot on the heels of Barclays, HSBC, and Halifax, which also announced rate cuts in recent days. Nationwide's lowest two-year fixed rate will stand at a market leading 3.81 per cent. The deal, which is available to both new and existing customers buying with at least a 40 per cent deposit and comes with a £1,499 fee. On a £200,000 mortgage being repaid over 25 years that would work out as paying £1,035 a month. Those moving home with smaller deposits will also benefit from Nationwide's changes. Someone with a 10 per cent deposit will be able to secure a market leading 4.34 per cent five-year fix with a £1,499 fee from tomorrow. There is good news for first-time buyers as well. A first-time buyer with a 10 per cent deposit will be able to secure a five-year fixed rate of 4.39 per cent with a £999 fee from Nationwide. Meanwhile, a first-time buyers with a 25 per cent deposit will be able to bag a 4.2 per cent three-year fix, also with a £999 fee. With hundreds of thousands of households still to remortgage this year, Nationwide's is also lowering rates in this area. Its lowest two-year fix for households with at least 40 per cent equity in their home will be 3.89 per cent from tomorrow - albeit with a £1,499 fee. Nationwide's changes lookm like a direct response to Halifax and Barclays, which both announced rate reductions last week. Halifax has just launched a 3.84 per cent two-year fix targeting borrowers buying a home and Barclays has a 3.92 per cent five-year fix for those needing to remortgage. For those prepared to do something different than locking in for the standard two or five years, MPowered Mortgages has a three-year fix at 3.88 per cent for those buying with at least a 40 per cent deposit. 'Nationwide is the latest big lender to lower its rates and undercut its competitors,' said Aaron Strutt of Trinity Financial. 'Its new rates are cheap enough to top the best buy tables especially if you have a large deposit. 'It has acted quickly to lower rates and undercut Halifax by launching a 3.81 per cent two-year fix and a 3.92 per cent five-year fix for mortgages between £300,000 and £5 million. 'These are property purchase products.' Strutt expects more lenders to cut mortgage rates over the coming weeks due to competition ramping up. 'Five of the big six biggest lenders have lowered their rates and no doubt other lenders will follow their lead,' he said. 'If you are offered a sub-4 per cent rate at the moment you are doing pretty well. You just need to decide how long you want to fix for and that really comes down to your attitude to rise. 'Lots of people are still taking two-year fixes as they think rates will come down more. 'With £147bn worth of mortgages coming up for renewal between now and December this latest round of rate cuts which come as welcome news for homeowners needing to remortgage.' How to find a new mortgage Borrowers who need a mortgage because their current fixed rate deal is ending, or they are buying a home, should explore their options as soon as possible. Buy-to-let landlords should also act as soon as they can. Quick mortgage finder links with This is Money's partner L&C > Mortgage rates calculator > Find the right mortgage for you What if I need to remortgage? Borrowers should compare rates, speak to a mortgage broker and be prepared to act. Homeowners can lock in to a new deal six to nine months in advance, often with no obligation to take it. Most mortgage deals allow fees to be added to the loan and only be charged when it is taken out. This means borrowers can secure a rate without paying expensive arrangement fees. Keep in mind that by doing this and not clearing the fee on completion, interest will be paid on the fee amount over the entire term of the loan, so this may not be the best option for everyone. What if I am buying a home? Those with home purchases agreed should also aim to secure rates as soon as possible, so they know exactly what their monthly payments will be. Buyers should avoid overstretching and be aware that house prices may fall, as higher mortgage rates limit people's borrowing ability and buying power. What about buy-to-let landlords Buy-to-let landlords with interest-only mortgages will see a greater jump in monthly costs than homeowners on residential mortgages. This makes remortgaging in plenty of time essential and our partner L&C can help with buy-to-let mortgages too. How to compare mortgage costs The best way to compare mortgage costs and find the right deal for you is to speak to a broker. This is Money has a long-standing partnership with fee-free broker L&C, to provide you with fee-free expert mortgage advice. Interested in seeing today's best mortgage rates?
