I am new to this forum and I need some help on finding my first car lease/purchase.
This will be my first car, others were passed down from my father, so this should be interesting.
I am 27yrs old with a steady job and no GF so that means I got money to spend on a car! Haha I am looking at two cars. One is the Mercedes GTS-AMG (Dad not approved) the other is the Maserati Ghibli Q4 S (Dad approved). I am located in So-Cal (Zip: 90034). My commute to work is probably 6 miles round-trip. Probably won’t use my car to go to work because I don’t want my boss and co-workers to see. Just need a weekend car to spice up my life! My budget is under $1600.
I saw some interesting deals for both. As I stated I am new to this, so I am not sure about the RV/MV stuff, but here were the numbers given to me.
That pricing on the GTS is ridiculous, especially with the down payment. My advise is to save your money and don’t waste so much on a car, unless you’re already set (i.e. have your own house and a lot saved in the bank). Getting the Maserati and saving $1000/'month is the better option.
Also, if this is will be a weekend car, 12k/15k a month seems excessive, unless you plan to goto Vegas ALOT.
Welcome and Congratulations on stumbling upon to the Leasehackr community @Airrose23
First off- congrats on your decision to “spice up your life.” Given your car of choices, I would say spice is a bit of an understatement. Some of the members here would wonder what your goals are when picking between the cars: are you choosing based on which vehicle can save you money? or has more value? OR- are you trying to determine what the difference in expenses are after the negotiated deal?
I would also like to inform you- such posts are frowned upon and often left unanswered or trolled- so I highly recommend you first read everything on the following link:
Happy to help, feel free to ask questions and keep us posted on this exciting adventure!
First of all Thank you guys so much for all the tips and suggestions!!! I really appreciate it! Haha not much trolling only one or two but they were funny.
Do you guys know about any deals on the Ghibli Q4 S? I drove the Ghibli S and it was pretty smooth. I also drove my friend’s GTS and that power was insane. Haha But you guys are right that extra $1k a month can become something more if I invest it.
Really appreciate the input! Thanks again! Feels like a big family here!
