We can agree that it isn’t a good deal. Here are few things that went against OP:
- Brand new car
- Brand new EV model
- Low supply
- High demand (Yes, there is still demand for $100k+ cars)
I would be the first to admit that I have no clue what the market looks like for this car. I am happy with my current daily driver, a $70k 2021 A6 P+.
The MSRP of a car does affect the lease cost, However, assuming that a high MSRP car will always be “extremely” expensive to lease, might not always be accurate.
I leased my brand new A6 last May in MA for $629/month (including Audicare and 6.25% sales tax):
The RV was in the low 50s. However, I had a total of $8500 in incentives to make it LH-worthy. Was my deal a great deal? Probably not, but I did get 9% off MSRP (if I adjust for the slightly marked up MF). I did pay about $2100 at signing, but there was no down payment.
Having been on this site for more than 2 years, the one piece of advice I can share from my personal experience is to EDUCATE yourself and be open to constructive criticism. There is a WEALTH of information. It is a lot to absorb, but that is why we are here. ASK for feedback before signing.
I can’t speak for OP, but let’s assume you are right. Folks providing feedback, are mostly giving constructive criticism. I do it all the time. I try to show people where they can improve on the next deal.
