I made a rook mistake and rolled my acq. fee and tags into lease (right around 1K) - live and learn… I could have knocked another $15 off payments if I opted for 39 mo. But I didn’t like the idea of coming off my lease in August
Also, forgot to add Maserati paid the last 3 payments on my Ghibli ($1030 each) and the dealer paid the other 3 payments at $1030 each! ($93,300 MSRP Ghibli, selling price around 79K in 2014). It probably cost me some leverage with the amount of payments I had left on my Ghib but, my fear was as the SQ4’s are replaced with GranLusso and GranSport the deals may dry up.
Since the 1k payment opens to door to potentially a base panamera or even a benz sl, did you consider any of those or it was Maserati only? Those brands also have pull ahead, in case of pnamaera they will do 6 to 12 months lol
The Panamera is an awesome car! I actually had a 2012 Pan 4 for a few years and thought about getting back into one, however, with the MSRP of the Quattro being 121K+ any Pan I got for the same payments probably would have had a lower MSRP and therefore, fewer options.
Edit: 5/28/2017 a sorry if I was misleading in the above post. I did not do any research on Pan leases recently, I simply meant to say I would not have been able to get anywhere close to the MSRP reduction I got with Maserati from Porsche, so to retiterate I did not receive any 1K/ mo. Pan offers. Sorry for the confusion.
Maintenance is not for the faint of heart. $1,000-$1,500 for service per year, ballpark… If these Pirelli tires go early I’m guessing $400-500 a tire?..Maserati does have an option now where you can prepay for maintenance.
You got a panamera for $1k a month? All the leases I’ve seen on those things have been $1.2k a month with 5k down. Might need to do some research, love those things.
PA sales tax is 6% and they tack another 3% on for a lease so I’m actually paying 3% tax on my acq fee, etc. that I would not have paid had I paid upfront. I guess it really isn’t that big of a deal on the grander scheme of things.
Yeah 2K sucks. Haha. It seems like over the past couple years Mas has had better lease deals compared to Porsche. Probably a reflection of the god awful issues the 2014 Ghib had on its re-release.
