Leasehackr lists lease deals its team negotiates in advance. The Model Black is not a broker: participating dealerships publish their prices up front.
The Model Black is not a licensed motor vehicle dealer or broker and does not act as a broker in any way. Participating dealerships sell and lease every vehicle and complete each purchase directly with you.
Leasehackr's Pre-Negotiated Deals and The Model Black both put the numbers in front of you before you talk to anyone. Leasehackr (leasehackr.com), founded in 2015, is a community for car leasing and automotive financial literacy, with a forum, a lease and finance calculator, and Pre-Negotiated Deals: lease deals whose discount its team has negotiated in advance with a trusted seller, either a dealer or an automotive broker, for shoppers with excellent credit who are ready to take delivery within a week (leasehackr.com, as of September 2026). The Model Black is launching in Arizona. Where a participating dealership serves your area, it shows that dealership's cars as a loan, a lease (monthly, one-pay, or with deposits), and a cash purchase. It is not a broker: the dealership sells or leases the car and completes the purchase directly with you.
