Thanks. I’ll take a look. I’m starting to think with my inexperience, I might just be better off finding a broker to handle this.

@Bostoncarconcierge seems to be the only broker on the forum I have seen that was doing JLR deals (I could be wrong - he may also not still be doing them). Maybe see if he can source one down here in FL or one up north that can be shipped?
I took a look at a local (Davie) broker’s website that I have seen license plate frames on high end cars around Broward. Their first advertised “deal” is $1,015 per month for a 36/10k lease on a 2019 BMW 740i. Do a quick search on the forum and you will see why it isn’t worth me even giving you the name of the local broker.

You’ve got two options if you’re inexperienced:
-
Learn, do a ton of research, put in the work & contact a lot of dealers.
-
Hire a broker
From the sounds of this thread, number 2 is your route.
I always go route 1. Honestly, the more I hang around this forum, the more I want to do a little brokering for some side cash. I enjoy the hustle - I negotiate at a high level to feed my family, I feel like I was built to score people deals.
Anyways, I’ve been reading this forum heavily for months now. I gave you the two brokers to contact for your top choices above; Boston Car & Stellar.
Just as my piece of advice; I’m not positive, so you’ll have to do some research, but I don’t think there are many differences between MY20 & 19 on any of your choices, find a 19, especially in the next 6 weeks as the 20s land on the lots.
Two things:
$1565 for 33 mo with 3k down on a 2020 RRS with those specs is in the ballpark
1001% this. Have a broker find you a 2019 out of state and ship it in if they can’t find a local one. You will save way more than the broker fee. Even if you do all the leg work on numbers RR dealers don’t need to deal. Hire someone who sends them 10+ deals a month and knows what is possible.

I just had them run numbers on a 2019 LWB Range Rover Supercharged. No money down and 10k miles came back at like 2k a month. He wouldnt give me incentives or MF or any other details i asked for, so that ended the conversation. MSRP was 130k and he came back with a 1k discount 
Doesn’t matter how much money we make or accumulate, I won’t pay $2k a month for a Range Rover or 89 cents for one lemon.

Yeah, on mine- there is literally zero discount. She must think i am an idiot. And then when i asked for the worksheet with the details; i have gotten no response. If i have to go out of area, i will.
So funny you say that, as i couldn’t agree more. Especially since i have found this forum, i want to feel like i got a decent/fair deal vs having to have one particular car.
With the numbers that are being thrown around to lease, i could purchase it for only about 12% more. But if i were to purchase, it wouldn’t be a RR as i dont trust the product outside of its warranty.

If you’re looking at purchasing, take a look at the new G wagon. They hold their value EXTREMELY well.
I like it, but its a bit more than i want to spend. I think it would be about 140K-
Aside from price, the only difference is that you can at least make lemonade with the lemon. The RR does look sexy AF on a tow truck though, I live near the local dealership and drove by yesterday - a Velar must have been homesick.

If I haven’t said before, or in this thread: RR leases (btw Chase is their captive, just like Subaru and Mazda) are for business owners who can write them off (like me, except I’m 70% cheaper than a RR payment).
And you hit the nail on the head: WHY would you own one (let alone a super-charged one with hydraulic suspension and tech) that isn’t under warranty? That alone is worth hiring a broker so you know what cost is on the warranty and what you should pay. Does it matter if you ground them down to $3k off and free car washes every (month) time it’s in service, if they mark the warranty up $4k?
I think they are above a certain GVW that allow for some pretty slick tax benefits if needed year-end?

That’s only on purchase: Section 179 accelerated depreciation for “farm equipment” for vehicles over 6,000 GVW. Tax loophole. https://www.section179.org/section_179_vehicle_deductions/
Businesses that can expense their lease can do so on any lease, but can’t be combined (no accelerated depreciation if you don’t own it).
Edit: Anyone who works at a Ford/Chevy/GMC can probably attest to crazy Decembers where they are selling the big trucks like they’re an extra 30% off - because they are (and their account told them to go buy something and put it into service).
