I’m interested in a Polestar 3, and the current rebates (15k clean vehicle, 5k tesla) are only available on leases. I’ve never leased before and trying to give myself a crash course on how it works. I’m located in Oregon, and it seems like west coasters get the shaft on Polestar deals- all the good ones I’ve seen on this forum are from the NE region.
Here’s my calculator link. What’s a “good” score? 7.8 seems to be a pretty bad deal compared to others, but again those are all from the east coast. Should I ask for MSDs to bring the pretty high money factor down? Or should I just walk and see if better deals come around in the next few months?
Score doesn’t matter here. Not when comparables like ZDX, Lyric, Q4, arguably i4, EQE, etc have all been had for sub $400 regardless of what arbitrary sticker they slapped on it.
Make offers to every dealer in the PNW. There can’t be that many.
~12% off as a true discount (not clawed back with egregious doc fees) gets you to around $399 all in.
If someone accepts or gets close: great. Otherwise move on to any of the aforementioned cars. There’s nothing that great about the PS3 that it’s worth overpaying over the competition for.
That does seem to be the case. I started looking at the other comparables recommended by max_g and not finding anything close to a deal.
I wonder how much of it is related to the fact that we have no sales tax in Oregon, so dealerships don’t have to discount as much. I was looking at the Ionic 5 and when I put in my zip code the price went up by like 7k on their website
Not a PS3 or BMW, but I just had an experience at a Ford dealer in OR with a Mach-E where they would only offer 1.9% off MSRP and wouldn’t budge. When I pressed, their claim was that the numbers I see online are all east coast numbers where “there are a lot more cars.” Does the PNW just get screwed on EVs or was the salesman salty I came in with numbers and data “from the interwebs”?
