So my lease is coming up to finish with Lexus and looking to get into something A LOT cheaper. Thinking I just got married and probably start a family over next couple of years, SUV might be a better bet. I love German cars but just hate fixing them. I do plan on leasing something cheap and maybe get an older AMG to have fun with.
Are the options below possible with $0 or little to no money down? I know I have high hopes in getting these but hey you never know! I like luxurious cars but nothing crazy. I know sometimes one can get a real good deal on a service loaner!
Thats 7500 miles i believe. Then they ask you to pay by mile if you want 10k and add it to monthly price. Typical Westbury tricks. Plus fees will be at least 3000 including tax.
If you can go a little smaller a very well equipped cx-5 is a good option, as well as the new VW Tiguan. You might come close on a base 2WD RDX if your lease terms are favorable. Good luck.
Think I might have to stretch budget to $400 to get something nicer. I drive a full loaded Lexus so don’t want to downgrade all the needed features. I think Infiniti QX60 might be assed to the lease. I remember before wife got Volvo, they said 339 a month with 2k down.
If you consider a Chevrolet you can get either an Equinox ( 5 passengers) or Travers ( 7 passengers) for under $350 / month zero down in SoCal. Here is a spreadsheet: Cheevrolet Equinox / Traverse
Honestly with all the cars you want you are going to have to raise your budget to probably <500.
Really great deals on here usually come in waves and are only certain cars. Can’t really be too picky on them. SUVs are generally more expensive as well.
It sounds like you like buying the name (ie. Lexus, Bmw, etc… which there is nothing wrong with) so in that aspect for your price range you might me able to get a BMW X1 under 400 but that could be a stretch even. At least they have loaners to shoot for.
