Have you looked in the private lease swaps?
I have looked, most seem like 12-24 months remaining
BMW requires 6 months left on lease to transfer, maybe.
Swap into an M3/M4 CS for the low, swap out when you need to
Its like anything else, if you get a “good” deal then it will be easy to find a taker once you want to swap out of it. Assuming a decent deal I would budget an extra 1-2 months to find a buyer and complete the process. Even if you find a buyer immediately after listing it can sometimes take 30 days or more to full facilitate the process, paperwork, etc.
Oh and at $700-$900 you are not in M5 territory, theres a reason why everything you’re seeing in SAL is more expensive, most everything around here is in the $1100+ range including tax. M4 should be easily doable for that though, just not M5.
How about an i8? Solid deal, 21 months left though.
@wiresonly - why do you say that vs a new one with some of the deals on the new ones?
@HersheySweet yea id do 6 months now if i could find one, but if i started a new lease or even took over one i’d be aiming to get out of it with >6 months left. Regarding the i8, need some storage space and probably a back seat (even if not huge, possible to have 3 people in it for short rides a few times)
@j_e_f_f - gotcha, very helpful, thanks. 1-2 months wouldnt be bad, i have a place in NJ i could store it even if went back to city in meantime. Yeah i guess <1k range was more the M4s
My $0.02: considering your timeline, you want to minimize out of pocket costs for the short term you’d like the vehicle for. You will probably face less upfront cost swapping into a vehicle rather than paying a broker/dealer
Have you checked on Turo lately? I’d imagine you may be able to negotiate a monthly rate, check out a few cool cars and walk away when it’s all said and done.
Good point, will factor in total cost not just monthly lease payment
checking on there too!
Thats a great deal, thats tempting especially with just 6 months left. I’m looking for something more sporty though, it’ll just be 2 of us most the time so no need for a 7 series.
Think of the land yacht!
Sixt.com had 5 series for $600/mo and that includes insurance. They were just running a 20% off sale. One of my clients was waiting for a tundra from me and got a Range Rover for 500 for the month
do you know what location? I looked in nyc and its a good bit more than that
I got an email the other day and just looked for the hell of it in Fort Lauderdale where I usually get a rental
I just checked Las Vegas the 4 i chose were not available.
Idk if you have rented from sixt or not (I haven’t) but have heard a lot of horror stories about their rental experience.
