Fair/good/bad?
Sorry to be blunt, not it’s not even close to being just “bad”. Much better choice for you with more miles even with shipping.
Also check TX comptrollers website if you could possibly claim any tax credit for taxes paid to CA by the original lessee. GL!
And, BTW, is it really $85K true MSRP or is it just dealer’s asking price after some add-ons?
Super bad. Got offered 11% without asking. Only getting $3750 but ai is saying there is lease pass through of $7500 on the table and to demand $9900 incentives. Can’t verify this tho
AI is, as almost always, wrong. You can’t “demand” incentives which don’t exist. It’s $3,750 for a lease incentive, $500 for loyalty, and another $500 for loyalty which is dealership contribution.
Also, how would there be pass-through when there is no longer a federal tax credit for electric cars?
Yeah gemeni double corrected itself, for a while it went as far to defend a “commerical” credit vs consumer lol. Fooled again.
Can’t rely on ai for current lease programs (or much else lease related) since things change monthly.
Just today I was reading an article about how people have started losing all sense of reality because they just listen to AI blindly. $3750 turns to $9900 is a great example.
Everything looks like a nail when all you’ve got is a hammer.
You should be targeting 12-13% front end. They lease okay but not as well as they leased for the last few years. There’s a shortage of EVs that are not SUVs right now, BMW has slowed import of the i4 it seems while we wait for the i3 to arrive early next year. MB has the CLA (not much inventory yet) and the C-Class EV coming next year. Audi has the S6 but since they skipped 2026 the 2027s are slowly trickling in now. Lots of options on the horizon.
