Good luck with your search.
Have you penciled out** what kind of discount would be required to get you there? (I have no idea, but it seems like a stretch).
** In the calculator, not literally with a , unless you’re so inclined .
PS: Food for thought: If you have $1,300 a month burning a hole in your pocket, apparently you could just get a Kia EV9 instead.

Have you missed the recent threads (PLURAL) asking if $1,1xx is a good deal on an EV9?
Those consumers are the target market for F&I guys looking to sell the Ultimate Peace of Mind Package for only $200/month.

You’ll probably need to find a 2022 if you want to get anywhere close to your target
$80k discount with a base MF. I think I’m dreaming but will give it a go…

that’s unicorn status; following
He’s not gonna come close - need a inside man for those deals
Probably the most likely outcome but you can’t blame a guy for trying…

I remember the BMW i8 with MSRP around $170k leasing under $1k/month…so everything is possible.

I’m hoping those days come back. I have a couple of ideas I’m waiting on, just watching the car market the next couple of months.

That’s too rich for my blood lol.
Those were indeed the good old days…getting in and out of the car physically was a nightmare.
Maserati GranTurismo Modena for under $1300 a month…? Dealers are already discounting them $40k - $50k…scratch that…residuals are in the toilet and MF is over 8%.

In 2017 I had the Maserati GT for $800 month with 5K total DAS. It was a unicorn and I miss that growl when it first started in the mornings.

Same here. I had one in 2012 at under $1k a month with just drive offs I seem to remember. Great car and loved the sound in the morning, too! They’ve just butchered the note with the nettuno unfortunately.

To be fair 1k /month in 2012 is = 10k / month in 2025
