I have seen broker discounts near 9% so this is better on that line item. What is the breakout on 25k in rebates? 24/12 might be better as I thought 24 was sweet spot. DAS seems steep.
Roughly $400/m effective. Not bad. However, I think that is still a bit high for this vehicle, which is priced like a Lyriq but more closely resembles the Blazer when it comes to amenities and interior materials. Aside from offering real leather (vs vinyl) seats, there is plenty of plastic and hard surfaces in most panels.
I’m shopping the same zdx. The pre incentive discount looks good but the money factor looks marked up. May want to double check your region but I believe it’s .0012 for most or all states. There’s a .0008 mf reduction if you can swing a one time pay as well. 24/10 or 27/10 is definitely the sweet spot for residual value (50%/49%)
Always interesting to see different peoples perspectives. I found the lyriq really disappointing and the zdx way nicer from a comfort and driving dynamics standpoint. The lyriq just felt like a blazer with nice makeup on.
Quite subjective here, everyone has their own preferences and priorities.
The a-spec zdx is priced next to sport2/lux2 lyriqs. To me, a luxury vehicle should have soft refined materials not just on the seats but all around you. Like lower door planels, center console including side walls etc. 19 speaker AKG including in headrests. And zdx lacks 360 surround camera. A 33" curved touchscreen in lyriq. And overall just feels more refined inside and out compared to zdx. But these are features meaningful to me, may not be for you. So there is no right or wrong answers.
