Long time lurker, first time poster. Hope I did pretty good for not having loyalty and living in a state without any EV incentives. Didn’t do MSD’s for other reasons. Would appreciate everyone’s thoughts!
I didn’t want to exceed $5k DAS. I could’ve done 4 MSD’s ($2500) with $2500 signing saving me $16 a month or $576 over the term. My plan is to invest that $2500 rather than lock it up with Audi.
Entirely. In your 2500/2500 scenario I would have done the MSDs and paid upfronts. Nothing but equities has a return close to that right now.
I usually roll everything in, but your MF is effective 4.152% which close to $3/mo to carry that to term. If the lease isn’t carried to term, you save (didn’t spend) roughly $69 + $3 per month on upfronts and corresponding rent that you prepaid (for a $108 “bet”, if your lease ends 2+ payments early, the bet paid off).
It’s all personal preference. Congrats and enjoy the etron!
Not a good deal, you will pay about $25,000+ in the 3 yers this is a HUGE hit,
Would be much better to get a Tesla Model X Long Range Plus for about $75-80k depending if you are getting a inventory deal or not. You would only be out $10-$15k in the 3 year of ownership as the cars have a extremely good resale value. You would also have 350+ miles of range instead of the 180-200 miles on E-Tron.
Private party, a 2017 model X 100d with a sticker of 121 now costs 74-76k with 34k miles. Tesla used is 70k. That’s still 50k in depreciation, and with a refresh around the corner I personally expect more depreciation with the refresh.
However you can say, TESLAS HAVE GOTTEN CHEAPER!1!1!1! Okay, but I counter with the depreciation argument. New refresh new tech, leaves anything else behind. Compare an AP1 car vs a AP3.
