First lease and I’m really excited about it. I’ve been looking around and contacting a few dealerships in my area. I’ve done a bit of research but my knowledge is still very limited so I need some extra pair of eyes.
After posting on Edmunds and asking for incentives, residual & M/F. This is what they gave me for zip code 94402:
.00042 and 56%
No incentives
I’ve since narrowed my search to 2 dealerships.
#1:
36 Month Lease
MSRP $36,080
Selling Price: $33,980 (5.8% off)
$0 Down
MF .00042
Residual 56% (12,000 miles/year)
License/Title : $449
Monthly: $492.28
Total Due signing: $1073.11
Great that you checked Edmunds and got the lease at buy rate. Start with the pre-incentive sales price and try to get that down. Check sites like Cars.com to see who has one that has been sitting on their lot a while.
Do you really need a turbo you can get a GT with premium pkg. pretty much the same car without the turbo? Better MF and RV for a lot less. You can also check with the brokers here to see what they can do for you
Hi, thanks for reading my post. I will check the GT out but the turbo is really calling me. I know it’s a not a “need” but a “want”. That being said, I really want it.
If the turbo is important there’s no way I wouldn’t seriously consider an X3 instead. It’s a smaller SUV but if that’s not a big concern then look that direction.
The 2.5T downrates to 227hp on regular gas, just 40hp more than the normal 2.5L in a GT. I would never spend the extra $100/mo on a Reserve and then forego the $10/mo cost of premium gas.
