Autopia and The Broker Black both put real dealer inventory online with real numbers, which is rarer than it should be. Autopia (autopia.com) is an online leasing broker: it sources leases from its dealer partners, shows live pricing, models multiple security deposits in its calculator, and delivers to your door in California, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania, per its FAQ in September 2026. The Broker Black serves all of Arizona, southern Nevada, and southern California, shows every partner-dealer car as a loan, a lease (monthly, one-pay, or with deposits), and a cash purchase, and coordinates rather than brokers.

It prices monthly leases, one-pay leases, and leases with multiple security deposits on every partner-dealer car. The difference is that the dealer's published price is the starting point and there is no broker in the middle.
It describes itself as an online leasing broker. The Broker Black is not a broker; the partner dealer sells the car and signs the contract.
