I bought an S2K in 2009 and sold it in 2013 for $5k more than I paid for it. I regret selling it every single summer day!!
StingerTT, doesnât it depend on area of the country? what cars do you recommend? Iâm in Ohio, so I donât get the sweet deals available in So-Cal or NJ. The best I got on the Q50 was 3.0t Sport AWD with the Essential package (navi, Bluetooth, heated seats & steering) lease it with 10,000 miles per year for $405/month with $999 due at signing. Purchase price is $37,366 before taxes/fees.
You can definitely do like 30 bucks better by getting 1k more off on discount. I worked the same Q50 not too long ago and sale price was 36k.
But yes, thatâs why I said in NY! I donât know how theyâre doing in other regions :(.
Unfortunately, Ohio is a complete black hole to me, I have no idea how the market is there! I would hate to recommend something to you and then it not work out well!
You arenât doing terrible with the Q50, but you can squeeze a little more out of that if itâs the car you want.
Lol. Why would you ever lease a Honda? My 36 month payment is ~$600 for the sport to own.
Love that car!! Why get a stripped down BMW or Mercedes. Screams I wanted a luxury car but couldnât afford one
Man this pic got bumped again lol. Love the look.
The days of stripped down German luxury sedans are going by the wayside. Even an essentially stripped down C-Class has a moonroof, blind spot, power memory seats, brake assist and CarPlay.
Yes, the Accord has more, but the German cars are not stripped.
A stripped down C-Class doesnât have those features. Im talking about people who get the absolute base model and think they are above everyone else, just because itâs a Mercedes
Moonroof, brake assist and power memory seats come in every single C-Class. CarPlay isnât standard, but you wonât find one without it (itâs a $300 option and basically ever C is delivered with it). Blind spot comes with the basic Premim 1 Package, which, again, just about any âlease specialâ C300 has Premium 1.
Heated seats is regional. Only $500 option. You wonât find one without it cold climate regions.
The bargain lease 3/C/A4 have one or two option package. Heck, my $400/month A4 has leather, moonroof, navigation, brake assist, blind spot, tri-zone climate control, real leather, upgraded stereo, etc, etc.
The Germans just donât make those stripped down models like they used to, except BMW and MB still do leatherette (Audi does not, all Audis have leather).
Apologize, I was thinking pano roof. Now it doesnât apply anymore, but a base merc without LED headlights is a sin. Just looks cheap.
Fair because it wasnât that long ago (2016?) that a sunroof wasnât standard on the C. But time are changing.
