On this forum, you’re going to find a lot of pushback anytime someone is asking for advice on leasing a car at MSRP.
That makes it really hard to recommend many leases nowadays. But this has been my dream car for years and I held off until now.īasically, in this market the buyer has little-to-no ability to negotiate either a discount off of MSRP or a discount in MF. Just because I can afford it, doesn’t mean I should. And, only 2 years of maintenance for a 3 year lease? If you’re gonna go prepaid maintenance, might as well have it match your lease term.ĭo you think this is because of the higher MF? I’m less concerned about overall cost, and more concerned about over paying. Prepaid maintenance plans are a fine idea (I have one on my Mercedes) if you just want the worry-free experience and to maintain at the dealer, but you need to know what it’s costing you. Get a breakout of how much they’re charging you. If the monthly $ is even for a loan, you should often do the loan.Īs for the prepaid maintenance, it’s never “included” – they’re charging you for it, and just baking it into the price. It’s a measurement of whether leasing is worth it.
It’s to say that you’d be better off getting a 72 month loan and simply selling the car after 3-4 years when you’re done with it, as mentioned with no restriction on timing or mileage. The point of comparing to a 72 month loan isn’t to say that you’ll keep the car for 72 months. Thanks for the feedback! I want to avoid the long term maintenance of a luxury vehicle by only leasing for a few years.
