Hey there new here.

So unfortunately I totaled my 2025 M2 lease 9 months into the lease. It was my first lease and I’m sure I got ripped by the dealer, So now that I’m looking for a new car I’m looking at using a broker but is there anything I need to ask a broker ahead of time and how does it typically work with paying them, little nervous sending someone money I don’t know that I met online. Are most of the brokers on here legit? Or could there be a few bad apples I need to look out for.

Sorry for the newb questions just want to make sure I don’t get scammed lol living in south florida has really scarred me

  1. sorry to hear about the car
  2. Yes, there are plenty of brokers on this site and almost all have a review page that you can read through
  3. More often than not, their communication is very transparent. They list a price for the vehicle (generic due to tax/fees are location based), you reach out for the terms you are interested in/where you are located so they can provide more accurate pricing, pay their fees, get the car :slight_smile:

-you can break it down by the dropdown menu above to see which ones serve your area :),

If you leased an unhacked car then you got ripped by the bank as much as by the dealer. That’s hopefully one thing you want to avoid next time

hopefully so, plan to work with a broker from here. Unfortunately I really want an EV and wish I didn’t miss out on the tax credit. Would like a i4m50 or a Taycan

There is a bunch of good deals on i4 and some on taycan’s, you can squeeze the juice from i4.

I don’t think the expiration of the tax credit had any direct effect on CPO Taycan pricing.

Maybe second/third order effects of fewer people looking at new Taycans but likely minimal
