Car values are really low right now. Especially with Hertz possible unloading every Infiniti purchased over the last 3 years onto the market, this is not the time to ask a dealer to buy out your car.
On the Q3, 10% off and a really inflated MF is not doing you any favors on this one. Check Edmunds, but I see it as 0.00114.
GLC 300 is 74.4" width and the Q3 is 72.8" width. I am not sure what Weber’s Law would say about car widths, but I think that is definitely under the difference threshold. Especially with your lease ending in a year, it is not worth losing thousands for this IMO.
Possibly not, actually, if he/she has to fight the HOA… Or, if in removing the pillars, a careless neighbors ends up hitting the car…
To the OP: if you’re really getting a new car specifically b/c you want a car that’s easier to park in that spot, I assume you’ll actually ask to drive the car to your condo to see how it fits b/f agreeing to lease?
Yes, we can’t remove pillars due to concrete and the high rise above us. We have already had other People rub the side of the car when they exited. I’m trying to prevent that as much as possible.
At the risk of veering way off topic (but trying to be genuinely helpful)… Do you mean that your passengers hit the doors against the concrete? In that situation, I actually ask my passengers to get out b/f I park the car.
The reason I mention the above is b/c, if you’re really that concerned about a car’s width, realize that all SUVs (aside from, say, a Kia Niro or something the size) are generally wider than non-SUVs. The Q3 is still a pretty wide car (esp for a compact SUV), so, TBH, I don’t think you’re going to be happy w/ that, either, if your main concern really is the width of the car.
