I’ve read through way more than I care to confess on this site. I have Edmunds step by step lease calculation open at all times. I was trying to find out what worked specifically for those of you who have been successful recently with the Macans.
I’ve leased before and been pretty happy with my own negotiating but this is a whole different animal .
And as for “burning” another dealer, I never agreed to a price with that dealer and I did not request lease terms before he gave me a final selling price. He wouldn’t come down reasonably and just quoted a lease (that I shared with you).
I’ll echo the above and advise you to go the broker route. However, if you plan on taking this on on your own, asking the dealer what’s the best he can do will not be the right path forward. You should familiarize yourself with the lease calculator and punch in the numbers based on the realistic discount you’re seeking, the base money factor as well as your taxes and fees. Present that number to the sales manager and let them know that if they can get you that price, you’ll be there within the hour to sign on the dotted line. Knowing you are a serious, realistic buyer who is willing to act quickly will motivate the dealer to play ball.
because the payment is so low, many porsche dealers will automatically be turned off if you ask for a 5xx monthly deal. That’s why I went the route of targeting a specific price (while knowing but not sharing what the monthly at that price would be), and once we agreed on a number that was close enough, I proceeded to the lease details (duration, etc.). Sometimes they come back with the wrong RV / MF etc. but a finance person can usually correct that.
Realize that 5xx is a tough range to get to, even in the 6s this would’ve been a pretty good deal for the times.
Can any one confirm if I select second prepaid service it bumps the residual? Kind of like what audicare does for AFS leases. Dealer wants $830 for this but warned residual drops if I avoid it.
