For your first point, who cares how it was treated in the first couple thousand miles unless you plan on buying it at lease end. You’re still covered under warranty for the duration of the lease.
Second point, don’t believe that 45k tire rating on a run flat. You will be absolutely lucky to get that out of them. Many have replaced after 12-15k. However, yes, you may be required to buy tires. You’d have to take that into consideration with regard to how good your deal is to see if it is worth it. With that said, you can always buy used tires, as long as they have the same spec as OEM.
If you’re getting one with low profile tires you won’t come close to 40k. I have an 09 m3 with super sports and I’m lucky to get 20k out of them, my friend got a 740 last year with 20" pirellis and said he needed new ones at 18k. Can’t speak to how everyone treats loaners but I know I drove them like I stole them, definitely more wear and tear on tires and brakes but the engine can take it
What do you mean “the brakes gave out”? Brakes are wear items. And if you have air in the brake line, go get it bled. Those are not pricey maintenance items.
my comment was for @ursus to remove that question. This is a review thread, and should remain that way. The reason for that is to make it easy for someone to look at reviews without going through useless junk. If that person wants to get in touch, he should PM, and not post in the review thread.
Per one of the other mods a couple months ago further up in the post…
Because some of the forum members jump to conclusions and will shout DrHowe down about him having unreasonable expectations being the reason you’re not responding. Hopefully my comment and this comment, which should be put in the landfill, avoids the peanut gallery from chiming in. As for you mp1477, you’re the prime culprit appearing to be a wannabe trusted hackr by writing stuff everywhere. Why does ursus (that autocorrects to jesus…) need you to notify him to move it? He’s on here all the time and can read… Some of what you write is useful but the majority is just banter.
Maybe brokers ask us privately to remove some of the garbage from their review threads, or provide our input when things get heated in their review threads? How about that? So, mind your business and we will mind ours.
Will let it sit here for a while and then move to Landfill.
