Hello Hackrs,
Which luxury brands are most lease friendly for 24/10K or 24/7.5K configuration. I wanted a BMW but they do not lease well with these configuration. however their 36/10 are little lease friendly.
I did see some success with e-trons on 24/10K models but looks i missed the bandwagon on those deals. Appreciate your feedback on the same.
Thanks!
Those e-tron deals that you see are probably the last of them for a while in terms of luxury brand. It all depends on the month and the incentives on a particular vehicle. No one can say which brand is better as they all have different incentives on different vehicles.
For example, BMW might throw incentives at the 3-series but not the X-3.
Mercedes might throw incentives at the GLA but not the C-Class. It all depends on which month and what incentives.
However, generally right now as a result of the market conditions, the reality across the board is that you are not going to achieve these great deals that you have seen previously until the car market stabilizes.
XC40 P8 Recharge, according to @aronchi and common sense.
I get a tingle in my peepee when you group me and common sense together.
It was the opposite - one doesn’t need to be Aronchi to figure it out. How’s your tingle now? Call your doctor after 4 hours 
Can anyone get a hold of Doc Brown to go back to March ?

People are going to 48m to have a decent lease payment on a luxury brand and somebody wants 24m?
Yeah 24 or 30 month leases are costlier than 36 months. But if there is a good negotiation on the price, 24M or 30M could be cheaper. I have at least 4-5 car leases ( I have only lease BMWs so far) where shorter leases have been cheaper. 2 i3, 2 320I and 330i where shorter leases were cheaper on monthly basis.
I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that none of those leases were signed in May/June 2021?
Right now, usually doesn’t really apply.
None of the above implies now, or that any combination will lease well.
Edit: @Ursus said it better
The RV spread between 36 and 24 needs to be 6% or higher to make 24 a better deal, usually.
Edit: @jeisensc said it first lol
Yes. Thats true. I am in the process of buying a 2020 loaner X2 for ~31.5K + tax (MSRP 46K, Incentives - loyalty, PenFed, OL). If the BMW lease support was there, it would have been a candidate where 24M would have been cheaper than 36M… It is very hard now - It is easier to sell your leased cars. Selling is where the value is.
