So I’m new to the forum (please let me know if i should be posting this elsewhere) and wanted to pick your brain about potential leases. I currently am leasing a 2017 GLI and am looking to upgrade. I know some of these (#1,2.3,6) are probably out or my price range but I wanted to see if it was possible to swing it for under $650 a month. Cars ive been looking at:
Audi S3
Merc C43 Coupe
BMW M2/3
Alfa Romeo Giulia Sport
Infiniti Q50 RS400
Lexus RC-F
Any suggestions/tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again for this awesome forum, slapping myself for not finding this earlier.
The biggest issue with the double screen set up, at least from what I have seen in other models, is one screen looks like it’s from 2018 and the other from 2005. There isn’t even an attempt at keeping the UI design similar. They’re just half assed.
Amen - i watched a few reviews and the tech on their interface looks ancient… also not a huge fan of the steering wheel but hey i cant complain… its packing 400hp for a reasonable price
try digging some deals on shared deals. recently I’ve seens some great deals on E43
it varies based on out of pocket money with some dealer money but hopefully I can see you soon at the shared folder
There’s a reason they lease cheap for what they offer. Only you can decide if those are compromises that you’re willing to make. For some, it doesn’t matter.
There is no reason to add your distaste for German cars in every single thread you reply in. You looked at every damn German car at one point, and got bitter that they wouldn’t drop their pants for you, so now you’re out to bash them at every chance you get. You then derail threads because of it.
but the power down compared to your other options. handles great though. the others besides maybe the Q50 won’t lease very well, You can probably swing an S3 under 650.
How do you like the Giulia? Im starting to do my research and so far everything im hearing is relatively positive. FYI ill be using this car mostly for "speedy’ commutes
That’s not the issue. The issue is his consistent bashing of German cars at every chance he gets, because he’s jaded they wouldn’t drop their pants for him when he looked at every damn BMW that was on sale. Look at his post history.
He could’ve said exactly what he said without the German BS. Any car can break down, and they’re all covered under warranty during the lease, so the “German cars are unreliable” was totally irrelevant.
Thanks for the input - Ill check out the M340i. TBH i threw those cars out there bc they are my “dream cars” im finally in a spot where i can splurge a bit but want to stay reasonable.
Aaaaand this is why you don’t ask strangers on the internet to make a massive financial decision for you. Do research on the forum and get comfortable with how to use the lease calculator. Get your own dealer offers and report back.
Everyone has missed the VA tag on your thread. With VA taxes you aren’t getting many of these cars mentioned, and leasing is a much different value proposition than in other states.
love my M340i!! honestly a great all around car. seems you are looking for a smaller car. I’d strongly consider a Genesis G70 here for sure. Brand new looks, great handling, decent power.
