The brokers and dealers on here will probably hate me, but if you don’t need a car right now, it’s probably better to wait. No one has a perfect crystal ball, but odds are in favor of things getting better down the line.
Hopefully things do get better! He’s got about 7-8 months left on his A5 Sportback lease and he’s getting a bit anxious with the current market.
I figured he should be at about $550-560/month with inceptions DAS for it to make sense. I’ll have him read through the forums so he understands better.
I figured he should be able to squeeze out another 2k or so. But I’ll def ask him to push for more, it’s the first lease he’s negotiated without me being directly involved. Even if I were to negotiate I’d double check with everyone here, so I appreciate your insight!
The worst time to buy a car was 6 months ago, the 2nd worst time is today. If things go the way everyone is expecting, dealers will be begging him to buy in 7-8 months time.
