When my F-Type was in the shop for 3 weeks they gave me a base XE 25t

22

its another 5 series, but not an m5. some dealers might have 550s, but most would probably make you take a 540

23

Depends on the dealer. Most likely no m5 but def could be a 7 series.

But that could happen with any car. Your Giulia or Stelvio could be in the shop and they give you a Fiat

I really don’t think it’s a big deal if it’s a press car.

Looks pretty identical to me

I agree. Was just interested in hearing people’s logic. I know on press cars they go above and beyond on the maintenance too. If any issue is discovered they alleviate it fast as they obviously don’t want to look bad.

I bought a new one in 2009 for $1077 with only $500 out of pocket total. That was with TX taxes. It had some crazy $20k rebate or something. We loved that car. The sticker was less then…$99,900.

That was a decade ago.

My point was that isn’t a good deal. Taxes aren’t even in it and there is $ down. Better deals can be done on a new car.

32

You deal was a decade ago. If you want to call this a bad deal based on something found within the last year or so, that’s fair. But 10 years ago?

Math doesn’t change. No way I am paying over a 1% rule on any lease. It’s not a great lease according to the rules of leasehackr.

  1. If you are suggesting residual, MF, and rebates don’t change you are incorrect.

  2. I don’t believe you have learned the “Rules” of leasehackr over a 11 day time period of visiting. The 1% rule is a very loose guide for shopping which is in many cases impossible to achieve, or even in some cases can be a bad deal. Like you mentioned you got a 20k rebate 10 years ago.

1% rule is a myth

Math doesn’t change…but the residuals, mf and lease cash surely do. The 1% rule is dumb. You’ve been here a month and are telling people it’s not a great lease “according to the rules of Leasehackr?” What are these rules you speak of? Lastly, comparing a sale from 10 years ago to today is just plain silly.

In all honesty, comparing deals from anything prior than the current month is silly. Numbers change…it is what it is. My 300 xt5 can’t be replicated today. Does that make a 375 xt5 a bad deal? No, because numbers changed significantly and that’s out of anyone’s control. Discount and buy rate is all you can hope to control. Everything else is set.

First rule of Leasehackr:

There are no rules to Leasehackr

A good deal, like a good steak, or a good drink, or a good wife, or a good flight—all in the eyes (and wallet) of the person accepting the deal.

I glance at the 1% rule as a place to baseline. It’s nowhere near hard and fast. And seems to me the higher end the car, the more difficult it is to attain.

To me, 1% rule is just a rough guideline to determine if a car leases well or not.

Basically, if you can lease a car at 1%, it should be leased and not purchased. A car that leases at say 2% shouldn’t be leased; just buy the damn thing.

Comparing a lease in 2019 to a purchase in ‘09 might be the most ridiculous thing I’ve seen in my 2 years on the forum.

By brother got a 2010 GTI for 20k OTD on a 23k MSRP car back in 2010. Now they’re 27k MSRP just for the S! Ridiculous deal based on what we’ve seen 9 years ago.
