Term: 39mo/15k miles
Down: $10,500
Monthly: $3,040
This is the offer they put on paper. As we were leaving, they came down about another $7k off list price, but did not put it on paper. Figure that puts me somewhere in the $2,800 range based on $30 per $1000 off list.
Looking to move on this prior to the new year so any input is appreciated!
This is an NJ deal. I assumed the geo-tags were NY metro. Cash is not an issue. MSD can be used if necessary. Haven’t gotten what the return would be from dealership. Trying to get them to bottom dollar before discussion MSD.
Buyer can afford the car going away, so not necessarily as concerned about saving a buck as we are about understanding the quality of the deal. How low they can go on these cars etc.
We did discuss buying, but doesn’t work for a couple of reasons. Buyer is self employed and will be running this vehicle through his business. Leasing is the recommendation of his CFO/Accountant.
Yes, on a lease you can write off the lease payment vs either writing off the depreciation/costs or doing a per mileage deduction, however, a dollar saved is worth a lot more than a dollar written off.
The CFO is a rich animal. If his budget is 4k a month (around $130 a day), he might as well rent livery services every day - comes with driver + gas included…
Guess the point is, it’s not really about the cost. We are gonna get the car. Just want to be educated on what others have paid for these cars, if possible.
While I appreciate everyones concern and opinions on his finances and the CFO’s intelligence etc, I really am just trying to get a feel for what other have seen cars in this price range go for.
Just because you have money means you should overpay for things? Buyer wants to lease the car for a number of reasons. Some are financial, some are not.
Would like to keep conversation to the merits of this lease offer as it compares to other leases of similar cars.
You’re saying you don’t want to overpay and at the same time saying you can pay whatever. Multiple people said, and I agree: if S63 is the vehicle of choice, it’s financially better to buy vs. lease. If he doesn’t care about money spend - go accept the offer and move on.
Regarding the deal itself: Don’t put any down. Do 10 MSDs to save some money. Discount is pretty weak on 180k MSRP unit, even at their last offer @ 20k off.
