2023 BMW X7 m60i lease/finance in Chicago 😭

Its mainly inside of Chicago city limits. Outside is no big deal. Most is 7.25% so middle ground between NJ and NY.

Amazing how quickly it goes from 7% to 19% tax when you cross that city limit.

…I see that now and working with Clutch thanks to you lol

Exactly! Thought about using my parents address in the suburbs, but thinking it may a bit of a hassle to prove residency.

Is this something you want to drive around the city?

Last time I was there visiting a friend he told me that a Cayenne was basically an invitation to be carjacked, and many of his friends were trading into more nondescript cars for safety reasons.

I used to live in the city also (really miss the place I had at Roscoe and Lake Shore Drive), but this visit was the first time I felt like I had to look over my shoulder everywhere I went.

I hear ya for sure. And yea, mainly city driving with a few long trips a year. And there have definitely been more car jackings than in recent memory. I’m born and raised here so I always have my “antennas”, but feel fairly safe. Things can always happen that I can’t control so I don’t let those things get to me. Cars are insured and that’s the most I can do. I live downtown as well in River North.

I was more concerned about your wife, 1 year-old and newborn when s/he arrives.

At least lower the deductible you have on those items.

[Jordy830]

Ahhhhh, I hear ya for sure and appreciate the concern. Downtown Chicago definitely isn’t what it used be which is why we’re considering moving to the suburbs

I was gonna answer your OP about you leasing in Chicago with the smartass reply ‘have you considered moving?’, but thot nawww. lol

My deductible against carjackings only costs about a dollar per claim made by miscreants.

We lived downtown and loved it for 13 years but with crazy taxation (prop and sales) and increasing unchecked violence we left for a year vacation on a SoCal beach then just bought in a NW IN suburb where prop taxes are only about 1% and sales tax about 3% less. Always paid cash for my cars in the city and never even considered leasing. Sad thing too is the City has lower prop tax then most IL burbs…so, consider IN.
