2026 Kia EV9 GT-Line • Lease

Trade +$5,000

Had negative equity on my Tesla. QuoteDefender flagged the EV9 deal. Dealer gave me $21k on a trade others quoted at $16k. Cleared my debt in 3 years instead of 7, plus a massive luxury upgrade!

Kept $2,000

I DMed Amir at QuoteDefender... I walked out paying $876/mo with $0 out of pocket! The best part was when the finance manager was so impressed by the negotiation, he literally offered me a job!

It is better to switch to the 24 month even with the negative equity, which I never would have considered. Again thank you!

I already made the jump :) I got $3k off the MSRP... zero down. Didn't want to go on with the search too long. The back and forth with the dealers was getting to me. So far I like the new ride.

Quotes are from public Reddit threads, in their own words. Results vary by deal and negotiation.

Every quote, scored.

Every quote is graded out of 100 against the manufacturer's program for your car this month and real market data.

Best lease values.

Find the cars where you pay the least to lease relative to what they're worth. Ranked by total cost vs. actual selling price.

Quick answers.

Everything you need to know before uploading

Is QuoteDefender free?

Yes. Create a free Scout account to get unlimited scans and a preview of your Deal Score and savings.

Is this a monthly subscription?

No. We hate subscriptions, too. Unlock the full fee breakdown and the negotiation email with a one-time 7-day or 30-day Defender Pass. They expire automatically, no cancellation needed, and zero auto-renewals.

What can I upload?

Anything the dealer gave you. Worksheet, payment quote, or lease contract. Take a photo, upload a screenshot, or drop in a PDF. We'll reconstruct the deal math and show you exactly what you're paying.

How does it verify the numbers?

Against this month's factory programs. Our engine checks every number against the manufacturer's current program for your car and ZIP. If the dealer marked up the money factor or buried fees in the cap cost, it surfaces immediately.

Can I see the lender's rates before I have a quote?

Yes, on Target Payment. Pick the car and your ZIP to see what it should lease or finance for this month. A Defender Pass adds lender rates at your credit score.

Do you email a monthly recap?

Yes, with any account. Once a month: how each brand's lease deals changed, which models moved and by how much, and what's new in the app. No separate sign-up, and every issue has an unsubscribe link.

Do you sell my data to dealers?

Never. We're on your side, not theirs. We make money from Defender Passes, not your data. Everything you upload is encrypted and never shared with dealerships.
