I’m have 3 payments to be made on my Jag before I can use the 3 month Maserati pull ahead program and hv started researching the best places to start. So far the best dealerships in regards to specials and what I’ve read here seem to be the California dealers like Newport, Bev Hills and Anaheim Hills. Kerbeck in NJ are also advertising 17-20% discounts right out of the gate as well which I figured was a good starting point.
I wanted to get ideas from the experts as I am very novice on how I should start and any tips. I’ve been reading this site daily and feel I have the basics needed to negotiate and understanding of how leases work but thought it would be helpful to get s specific thread for me. I also would be interested in a broker as well.
So does Maserati pay for the pull ahead of another brand’s lease ?
Or does the dealer roll the payments into your new Maserati ?
I am trying to understand because I have a Jag Land Rover lease coming up but never heard of another brand taking over without incurring negative equity…
I was at Newport Beach Maserati yesterday and the salesman said the 3 month pull ahead was a factory sponsored incentive and negative equity will not be incorporated into the new lease. I don’t know if it shows up as a rebate or if they buy one’s car and give the 3 months.
It is a pull-ahead. They cut you a check and you can do whatever you want with the cash (apply it towards the new lease, pay off your current lease, use it at a strip club, etc). Volvo has a similar 6-month pull ahead last year.
They didn’t cut me a check. So the strip club was not an option. Maserati cut a check directly to Ally to pay the last three months of my old lease. I could either turn it in early or keep it but then I’d have to insure both cars. I kept it to save miles on my Maserati.
I found a lease deal on an SQ4 with an MSRP of 83955 and a selling price of 63500. I can’t understand how the ad came up with the terms tho because it says the purchase option will be 47014 and the total of lease payments is 29786 with payments of 679 for 36 months and 6K down. I’m novice at this but can you help me understand this? When I put it through the calculator it comes up with much more favorable terms.
Also what’s the appeal of these? The car is beautiful but it’s literally a fancy Chrysler 300. They don’t share a platform but share many common parts, and the engine is built by Chrysler and exported from the States to Italy, so it’s not even “Ferrari engineering.”
Chrysler/ Ferrari… same/same. (And the Bugatti Veyron is just a glorified Volkswagen.)
There is something wrong there. Anaheim Hills is advertising the SQ4 at $699/mo. (zero down), the S for $649/mo. (zero down), and the regular Ghibli $499 ($4,488 down).
The Ghibli can be afforded by working stiffs, but you still have to be stiffer than most.
Also for the people saying it’s an over glorified 300 the only parts they share are the electronic infotainment, and volume control on back of steering wheel.
Yea engine block built in Indiana, then sent to maranello where Ferrari puts on heads and assembles it.
I have one and I’m not saying it’s the best car ever but a 300c it is not.
I agree something is wrong with the ad because when I add in 6K to that MSRP and selling price I get a much better payment. Unless they are using an outrageous MF.
Next question…how will my MF be determined. I have excellent credit. I would like to get an idea of what I should be expecting going in and appreciate all you expert hackers chiming in.
