My q50 lease is almost up and I’ve been researching, driving and looking at numbers on:
S4
S6
G70
Q50 RED SPORT
Stinger GT/1/2
Jaguar XE-S
Alfa Romeo Giulia
My q50 is 340 a month on a 40k MSRP so I was happy, but the only thing that I can seem to find in an even half decent price is another Q50. While the red sport would be a performance change from the regular Q50, I really don’t want another one, but it’s the best deal I’ve found so far at about 500 all in for 58k (since I don’t have vpp).
Is there nothing in this type of sport sedan that can be had for a great price? I see the occasional insane post about 80k hellcats and s6 for 500 a month but none of those seem to be realistic or reproducible. So far it’s like 600+ for a g70 or stinger, and 750+ for an s4, etc. I’m not putting any cap cost reduction.
I am in the same boat as you bsmith1. My GTI lease is up in February and the best option seems to be the Q50 for around 350-400 a month. Car performance is very important for me and the competitive options way much higher per month.
if you are looking for a step up in performance there is no way you will be below 500. But similar performance you could go for a loaner 330i or C300. I know the Kia Stinger GT has large discounts but not sure if it will work out to a good lease. I got my GIulia for 478/mo 0 DAS back in August. The Audi ‘S’ models will be a considerable amount more, and same with the G70, just too new.
where are you located? someone got a better deal than I did this month:
Well at least I guess I can feel confident that I’m not missing some glaring deal. I know I won’t be under 500 but I’m looking to still get a great deal… trying to stay under 1% or at it.
$600+ for a stinger? Nah, forget that, would rather drop that on a better name like Audi, I would definitely place the Q60 in there, that car could easily be had for the same price as the stinger.
Good luck lol. I’m in the same boat…with ~5 months remaining. There seems to be nothing out there comparable to the Q50. I have a Q50S (~52k MSRP) at about $400/month. I wouldn’t mind stepping into an RS, but I’m not paying $5-600/month for it.
Yeah I mean, I want something similar but maybe a little more performance. The q50 I have is still like 300+ hp, so it’s not a slouch. I’m pretty sure I could get a red sport with some options at about 500 flat with tax at around a 58k msrp (no vpp so no way I can get these insane 410 deals I saw posted). Ironically, I bet in about 6 months when the g70 starts coming in steady supplies, those will be doable for low 500s even possibly 4s. Honestly, if I wasn’t coming from a q50 already, I’d get the red sport in a heartbeat but…aside from the performance, it’s the SAME. DAMN. CAR. The interior is identical, as is the terrible info system.
That’s my main issue as well. I love the Q50S, but I don’t want another of essentially the same vehicle. I actually don’t mind the infotainment system…idk where all of the complaints come from. The changes are very subtle…minor improvement with front/rear design, taillights have slightly changed, updated shiifter, the seats now have optional quilted pattern, changed rim design and they reduced the motor size while adding TT - its almost the same car.
I don’t think much will change, unless a manufacture gets wild with incentives. I think the world of leasing has taken a slight turn for the worst. There are deals to be had, but I don’t feel they are as readily available as they were previously.
Reason I asked is because a 330 is a bit slower in a straight line but outperforms elsewhere. So I’d personally call that “similar.” And (if an ex-loaner) can fit or get close to your target budget.
All the cars you listed are not going to come close to the Infinity in terms of monthly payment. I am curious what the numbers look like on the new Volvo s60 (T6). Id like one of those for under 500/month.
I am having the same issue my lease is up on a Q50S i was paying $410 monthly. I have been looking all around and Infiniti quoted me 4k das $560 a month for a 18 Q60s thats insane monthly right ? Went to audi to look at the A4 and with 4k das they wanted $590. I dont know what comparable cars will get me payments for under $440 with 4k
