ugh. feel like most of the dealers located here in NY/NJ are unwilling to budge. haven’t been able to find anything CLOSE to some of the deals I’ve seen posted here.
Guyssss don’t lock yourself to dealers within 50 miles of you. Be willing to get a cheap one way plane ticket and drove home. It’s really not that bad. More fun too IMO.
My upper limit for searches is usually 100 miles. When you start getting into long trips, unless you are getting something insanely cheap that can’t be replicated aren’t you eating into your savings when you account for gas, tolls, mileage, etc? If I found something in California (for arguments sake) and drove it back to NJ I probably didn’t save anything, unless it was a once in a lifetime deal.
That’s true. Doing the math roughly, it’s probably about 500 bucks total in expenses to go about 1000 miles away if you add up a plane ticket, gas, tolls and estimate 15 to 25 cents per mile. On a 36 month lease as long as you are saving at least 15 bucks a month or so it ends up being worth the trip I suppose.
