Yeah, we were looking at a M3 Long Range for my dads commuter and road trip car due to supercharging, then incentive went from 9k total, to 5k total, to 3.5k total, to 2k, then nothing.
We decided to stick with an ICE car after looking at the alternatives reasonably available at the time, not the etron (i3, Ioniq, etc).
It is a good value $500ish/month sign and drive… Looks good, drives well, quality is nice… I will be in the market for an electric cross-over/suv next year and this will be in my short list.
Where are you getting $500ish a month sign and drive? I would totally get one at that payment. From @Bostoncarconcierge screenshot, it is $600/month with $2000 driveoffs. That’s with a 43% discount. Not to mention is it a 39-month term also.
I agree, you’re not going to see one in my garage. I guess I was thinking that if you could get 45% off and sell it for 35% of MSRP after three years then you would have paid 20% of MSRP plus tax to drive for three years. Of course being able to sell it is a whole other thing.
I’ve looked a few times at them but there’s so many with 2k - 10k miles for sale it’s a major red flag, not many lemon lawed but clearly there are issues and people have sold them within 1 year of ownership. It is a brand new model though so issues are par for the course. I haven’t read up on the Jag forums what the common issues are.
They drive great though, got to test drive one at an auto show in 2019
These and the E-trons are nice but the lack of reliability and charging stations make them a headache to own. Better off leasing them until Jaguar and Audi work out the kinks. I read on the forums that these SUVs spend more time in the shop then in the garage.
I rented one, drove for a couple of days in Europe and I loved it. I would lease one in a heartbeat at the right price . Owning is another thing though. Keeping reliability issues aside (which can be somewhat mitigated with extended service contracts), legacy automakers still have years to catch up with Tesla’s software strengths . They all are 5+ years behind. Edit: grammar
Lease:
MSRP: $87989
36 Month
$24,500 off (2020 models have 17k off plus $7500 rebate)
10,000 miles per year
PMT: 1273.57 w/ $0 down or 1158.47 w/ 5k down
MF: .00276
Update: added another 3 for full 20K and lowered MF also but man its still rough with the 39% residual.
Makes poor sense even with all that off i would still be in this shape.
Might be worth buying. If you can get 25k off on an 80k msrp, add in the 7.5k fed tax credit, you would be sub 50k on an 80k jag. That’s not a bad deal!
The problem is stupid CA tax. Would be paying still on the whole sale price. And when you sell it after one or two years for something like 30 K you would not get anything back
