Go test drive an S60 and see if your daughter likes it. A 350 deal on one should be achievable.
Have you considered electric vehicles, such as Ioniq?
This^. It just seems to me like the only reason to get a bare bones s60 or 328i is IF they are cheaper than better equipped non luxury sedans or you are a badge snob. A well equipped mainstream sedan will have so many more features and possibly even more power.

[max_g] I agree, I tried to swing her in that direction. The K5 (and others) looks a great car.
TBH that’s why “my friend” or “my child” threads are a waste of everyone’s time.
Advice gets relayed a game of telephone, just to land on deaf ears.

She’s 24, and yes, insurance is a big deal and has been discussed with her. She’s a recent college grad (been looking for incentives on that too), and working hard full time, and she will be paying for the car. I’m trying to swing her away from the BMW’s, Audi etc (someone mentioned “badge snob”, lol, that’s her). I agree, a K5, Arteon (if it leases well) and others would be a better choice. Thanks again
Why not to test drive 2020 Elantra value pretty loaded trim. You can easily get it for around $200/m with first payment ONLY DAS. All taxes and fees included.
It’s the perfect choice for a brand snob who cares about nothing else and has a budget of low $300s plus TTL.

I’m here looking for help and suggestions. You’re a judgmental @#$% max_g.
Good car, her last 2 leases were the Elantra.
Because we’ve seen this thread 500 times and 500 times it has gone the exact same way.
- Dad/brother/nephew/son/whatever asks for help leasing on behalf of some family member
- We waste a whole bunch of time
- OP wastes a whole bunch of time
- ???
- Family member does whatever they want and doesn’t listen to any of the advice
- We all laugh and move on
Please feel free to make a new thread if you have specific questions about leasing or about a vehicle that you or your daughter is interested in. This has run it’s course and all relevant advice has been exhausted. Honestly my best recommendation is to ask your daughter to make an account here and look through leasing 101, marketplace and shared deals - then she can post on her own behalf instead of us all flailing about guessing.
