*A Legendary Waste of Time I had been emailing back and forth with a man by the name of Gary for upwards of a month. I could not have been more straight forward about my situation, what I was looking to pay per month, what I was looking to put down, what my credit/financial background was, just tried to make everything as black and white as possible to ensure a smoothe transaction, and also be a good customer. Gary starts tossing out quotes that seem like great deals. At least quotes that no other leasing agency could compete with, let alone the dealer. He took my social security and personal information, said I was approved (again which no one else did because Im young and have a very minor credit history). I must have double checked like 4 times that this was a done deal, I got the bin number of the car, I asked how is payment made he said personal check, which seemed weird because no dealer would permit that, and I got insurance set up with the sole intention on picking up the car that day, which I was told was "no big deal". So I show up. Gary says its going to be there in 5 minutes, says its left the dealership. 30 minutes go by, Gary says its a few mins away. Okay, whatever. 30 more minutes go by, Gary starts making phone calls from his cell, makes a point of getting up and walking away so he is not close enough for me to hear. Gary comes back, says the car still needs to be prepped before its delivered. Now Im pissed, this is the day I set aside to lock down a car that I now really need for work. I start demanding answers, I want to speak with the dealer, I want to make sure this is for real, I want to make sure I actually have this car. "Oh yeah its done its done," says Gary, this usually never happens, theyll deliver it to you". Well Im skeptical now. Call up dealer directly and am informed the manager will call me back. Im not leaving without understanding whats going on. Long story short, I showed up at 12:30pm its now 3:30pm!!! and after continuous pacing back and forth outside the dealership on the phone, into the other salesmans offices, basically anywhere except where I could hear whats being said, he then comes back to me and says there was an issue with my credit now, and I owe another $2000 on top of what I was originally told. So then I left, went directly to a dealer, and leased the exact same car for the same price with a co-signor and its being delivered from the BMW port between Thursday - Saturday. Not to mention none of the people at the legend leasing couldve cared less about me or my business whatsoever, couldnt even offer to spot the $50 cab I took from Coney Island to Manhattan. I felt, and was, completely set up to be screwed. Thank you Gary, and thank you legend leasing for teaching me a lesson about thinking it was ever a good idea to work with you guys. Hopefully you see and delete this review before anyone can read this one. SCAM

I found Legend Leasing on the web and called cold. The experience was great. My expectations were exceeded on price, service and straightforwardness of dealing. They were able to describe various vehicles we were interested in and provided objective insights in to each. They were able to promptly give prices on vehicles with no equivocation or game playing. Not having done business with them before we also checked with dealers. It quickly became clear that Legends pricing, which you dont have to negotiate, was far better than would be obtainable from a dealer, even with hard bargaining with the dealer. I estimate that I saved at least $ 100 per month on a lease of about $ 600 per month. We agreed on a deal over the phone and Legend asked for no deposit or credit card (just the information required by the lessor for approval) and delivered the car to me. Everything was as agreed when I reviewed the paperwork actually the price was little lower than quoted)and the paperwork was done in ten minutes in the car as opposed to the two hours it takes at a dealer. I had a complicated delivery and registration situation as I live in DC and they accommodated by delivering to the Wilmington Amtrak station free of charge. I also had a complicated registration situation as the car will be registered with Utah tags. They also took care of that including having special forms filled out. Even if the price had been at the dealer price, the ease of the transaction and excellent service would have made Legend the clear choice. I will definitely use Legend again and have recommended them to my family. Even if you are not in the NYC area I would suggest investigating Legend as they will likely be the best deal even after shipping.

I highly recommend these guys. They are highly professional and experienced. No bs or hidden fees. I was looking for a few different cars for the past few months at various dealerships. I came very skeptical and exhausted dealing with dealerships, (especially Kings Infiniti - stay away from them, they screw you when you go to pick up your car). I started looking into various leasing companies and came across Legend Leasing. I saw a quote online for a car like with the specific options I wanted. I got in touch with Morris at Leasing on Thursday. We spoke about the details of the car and all the fees/monthly payments. Morris was highly responsive and accessible, I have not ever dealt with anyone so professional dealing with cars. No standard nonsense of salesmen pushing the deal or pushing a car with option I did not want. By Sunday, he notified the car was in stock and ready. On monday, Morris conference me and called Geico with me. By tuesday morning, I came to pick up the car which was there on time. The whole transaction there was literally 10 - 15 minutes. All paperwork was prepared and all the terms were explained. No surprises, no last minute hidden fees. With all dmv work already completed, I just drove off after everything was signed. Whole transaction from the beginning was hassle free and I havent even mentioned the prices yet. Legend Leasing has great prices, by far more affordable than any dealership I have been too. As I said before, I was very skeptical from the beginning about leasing companies, and asked a lot of questions. However, they proved me completely wrong. Great guys to deal with. Dont bother going anywhere else, go straight to them.

Being a Full Time College Student – every penny counts !!! After spending several weeks comparing the prices of several dealers and getting the ‘’Bait “ price and for a couple dollars more I could upgrade to the model with the steering wheel , I decided to inquire the price with Legend Leasing . Subsequent to getting the offer that was presented to me by Nicole I thought I maybe able to do a bit better . After getting her quote I contacted a couple of the leasing companies once more and stated exactly what I wanted – from the exact model # of the vehicle and no money down ! When the price was challenged where and who gave me the offer – all the other companies stated they could match the price , and one even said they would do it for $ 5 dollars less a month . I decided to go back to the only place that I felt the most comfortable and was given a straight forward answer . Legend Leasing . I went back to Nicole and said lets do it !!! I told her that I still decided to go through with the deal – even though it wasn’t the cheapest . Considering every penny counts being a full time student . She explained that one of the most common tactics that other companies use is a low price upfront and when you return the car they hit you with a acquisition fee of $ 750 -$ 1250 I could have saved so much time and hassle avoiding all these charlatans – All those hours calling and meeting with the salesmen I could have stayed home perfecting my X-box skills
