With loyalty…
And a hell of a lot of work and/or luck…
I know I said it didn’t matter the car, but I would prefer a sedan over SUV and a smaller car over a larger one.
3 series and Tacoma are on my list.
I didn’t know the XC60s were leasing well, @mattevan. Any idea about the S60s? The search doesn’t show many deals on them.
I live in Oregon so many of these great deals in the marketplace I don’t qualify for.
I posted my deal in Volvo S60 deal check for an s60. Msrp was 45940 and with 4500 MSD the base lease went from $407 to 375 a month for 15k/36 month. @Ursus agreed it appeared to be a good deal (i am new to this so don’t just base it on my numbers). I posted the whole deal sheet if you need more info. Hope this helps!
Wow. A lot of S60 posts within the past 4-5 weeks.
My search for this was early July and didn’t see much so I didn’t follow up on it.
CRV has had some really good deals lately, I’d hit that way before an X1

I was reading that RAV4 we’re having some good deals too. Sometimes I go back and forth. In my mind, $50-$100 more could be worth a nicer more “feature-ful” car.
Here’s a question: my lease is over mid-October I have a QX60, if that matters. Don’t want to lease an Infiniti again. Are there any specials around that time? I’m thinking this weekend may be the last promo period before the end of my lease.
No one can predict the future.
Unless you’re overmileage I would wait.

If you want something like a QX60 again, go get a Highlander, no idea when that deal ends but you can use that remaining payment or two to push a deal through sooner than later. If you wait I doubt they’ll be a midsize third row in that price range, I’m think the end of next month might be time to pull the trigger. Unless you can score another deal on the QX60
thanks can you point me towards anything below $350 in so cal?
Do the work yourself or hire a broker.

How good? Sub $450/mo?
I’d be curious what deals people are getting on the XC60 too, @mattevan
I just made my second to last payment so for me, if I was to turn my car in early, I’d calculate how long it would take me to “break even”. It would have to be worth it emotionally too since I have 4500 miles left on this lease too.
My current payment for the QX60 is $500 a month due to negative equity rolled in and because this was before I met you Hackrs.
I would prefer a 2-row SUV or sedan. 3 is too many for me. I’m actually driving my wife’s old car. I turned my car in for an Odyssey.
Loyalty makes these deals in the absence of extraordinary discounts or other super stacks like OL, college grad and USAA in place of.
But yeah…BMW is pretty much the default answer for everything on LH.
So demos are a better because they are “used”. Is there any thing else to be aware of? It looks like the rule of thumb is an additional 1% discount for each 1,000 miles.
How about a 2018, would there be a rule of thumb in this case? I see a few MB and BMW demos that are 2018s.
This is a stupid question, but for some reason I got this impression after reading a post so I have to double check. If i do a 10k/24m on a demo with 4000 miles, I still get 24000 miles, right? The one post made it seem as though I only get 20,000.
@Electric unfortunately no OL code for me. I registered for the BMW Portland drive event but didn’t get to attend and never got an OL code. Registered for the SoCal event but haven’t received an OL code yet. Worst case, I’ll have to prenegotiate a deal, drive down there for the event, and get my OL code.
Lease support is over for 2018s. You would get the full 20k miles meaning if the car has 4K miles when you lease it you’re allowed to turn it in with up to 24k miles without penalty.
Loaners are better because in general dealers are willing to discount them more. The reason for wanting more discount with more miles is because additional mileage impacts your lease end residual which impacts your payment. You should try for more of a discount to counteract that.
What’s lease support? do you mean any leasing incentives?
If that’s the case, I would assume I could negotiate a lower msrp without any incentives just for the fact that it’s a 2018, no?
Honestly, I’m not too sure about what the lack of lease support entails as I haven’t even considered leasing a 2018 based on what I’ve read. I’ve not researched too much on it yet. I’ll let you do your own research or someone else to chime in so I don’t spread any misinformation on it.
Sorry, in your original post you were talking about a 10k mile/ 24 month lease, correct? I think that is the confusion. For 10k per year you would get what I described. For 12k miles per year you would get what you described - you would still get to drive a full 24k miles and can return it with up to 28k miles.
