First and foremost, shout-out to @AutoNinjas and Nick in particular. Worked with me and got the deal done within 24ish hours. On to the fun stuff ( I apologize if I leave anything out ):
After a long long time I’ve felt like a lease posted on here has a decent payment when compared to the amount of vehicle for it, given how the market has changed in past two years. Thanks to that sweet MF I suppose.
Some credit unions also offer the product on a standalone basis (i.e., you don’t have to finance the car with them) for a few hundred dollars.
It’s worth a couple of phone calls to save $500 vs this dealer-sold product, although GAP is still not an insurance product I’d buy due to the impossibly tiny risk of losing a relatively insignificant amount of money, but value is a perception.
I think it’s virtually always a waste of money, but there is middle ground if OP is hellbent on having it… therefore the intermediate choice was offered for consideration.
Def check with your insurance company for a cost on the gap though. It may be insanely cheap. I think mine was like 6 bucks per 6 mo policy…seriously.
I am shopping same area. What numbers have you been getting so far? I am seeing a dealer group that starts with H and ends with O . Best I am seeing is 5% off
That sounds like a great deal - I am planning to test drive the same vehicle this week but my husband thinks it will be a “downgrade” from my Volvo XC60. How do you like it so far? I really wanted a BMW X3 M40i but the leasing figures I’m getting from the local dealership are pretty terrible.
Drives great and feels luxurious. Definitely not comparable to the Volvo S90 I had previously. When you test drive it, make sure you spend time driving it and playing around with it. I think 20 mins would suffice.
