I wasn’t sure if this is a reasonable target considering its Maryland, or if I should go lower?

What do you mean by this? Is this the offer they sent you, or does the calc link contain your target? In any case, I believe the PHEVs net out cheaper? Any reason to get the ICE variant?

3

The calc link is my target. When I went to test-drive I got a crazy high quote with F&I.

I was looking for gas because I don’t have any where to plug-in where I live.

What is the ICE variant?

ICE = gas version. Re: Plug access, you don’t have to plug in, totally optional. Of course, better experience if you have access to charge (even if off a standard 110 outlet you can “sip” charge and prob wouldn’t take as long as you think given the small battery capacity of PHEV)

I just assumed the battery would weight it down so much that it would eat a ton of gas, but the mpg is actually better on the phev vs gas.

I’m looking into it now, thank you! @jm020

Yes, its still a hybrid and there is always some minimal amount of charge. And again, in case you have access to a garage with standard outlet, still benefits of sip charging.

7

Where is the 13.7% discount benchmarked from?

8

Awesome, thank you!

9

I saw another dealer had marked it down by 13.7%

10

Actual discount or an advertised price that includes all purchase rebates?

11

All purchase rebates :shushing_face:

12

Then possibly not at all applicable to a lease…?
