The down side is the residual is awful, approx 42% on a 36/10k lease.
But MF is 0.0001, so very low and I am trying to see how much of a straight discount the dealers are going to give. I am sure 10% is achievable which would put a $40k car at about $350 a month with $0 drive off.
My hope is to get it below $300 a month which would require about 14%-15% off.
Wow that is pretty good. Try third party bank, might jave higher residual. Making me think if i should try to get out of my jeep into one of these. Love the 300s.
You couldn’t pay me to drive a 300. Back when I was looking at my Genesis, I also looked at the 300 (amongst others like the 5 series and Accord). It was terrible to drive: the tech sucked, it choked every time I stepped on the gas, and the overkill of blue LEDs on the dash were such a headache. If you can put up with it, more power to you. But I’d rather drive a Yaris
Good point about buying. Just jave to wait for my lease to be up in 2 years. 300 is a great car in my opinion. I test drove the genesis and i felt it was nowhere near the 300. Engine was crackling and car had only 200 miles on it. Plus the infosystem of FCA vehicles is one of the best. I hated the ML or lexus infosystem when i drove them.
But you won’t get the lease rebates from Chrysler if you use a 3rd party.
I’ve rented a 300 on a few occasions and liked driving them,. It’s a big American car, so it’s not everyone;'s cup of tea. But for what it is, it’s very good.
