I just saw that 5k incentive. I meam that lease is costing more than the car. If has to be highway robbery. Did they mark up interest to 20%? If you see in one of the pics the guy has his ID in the cupholder. Company he works for looks like it says BJ?
I thought it said Cricket as in the phone carrier. I think his name is BJ
Wait… He’s leasing an Audi for 1600 a month and has a CRICKET phone?
No, i think he works for cricket (likely corporate with that ID)
I’m in the wrong business
I hope that lease deal came with a BJ
I am very late to this post but stumbled upon it somehow - THANK YOU from the bottom of my cold, black heart for posting this thread in the comments!! This is pure freaking gold. I think I’ll grab some wine & popcorn while I finish up the comments!
I had a rep at Lexus Carlsbad tell me last week that their leases normally run about $20 per $1,000 with minimal drive offs. First time I’ve actually laughed out loud for a BS sales pitch. Considering in his mind, that makes an RX350 with an MSRP of $45k = $900/mo, all I could do is laugh. Then he called me liar when I said I had leased an RX from that exact dealership 3 years ago for under $400, or less than half what he was saying. Needless to say, I walked.
HOLY… wow!! I showed this to my 10 year old son who said “you could get a $200k mortgage for that payment”
That is the general rule of thumb I use for a 60 month loan, not lease.
Looks like dealers like a 2% rule instead of hackers’ 1% rule
No more like the “a fool is born every second” rule.
20 characters, that’s 750xi territory
How is the monthly price exactly the same regardless if you put down $500 or $1,000??
Wow. I got a quote for $1550/mo $0 cap cost and still thought it was a shockingly bad deal (that was 36/7.5k).
Last month some dealer in Westchester County, NY quoted me $770 mo. w/ $2500 upfront on a 2017 AR Giulia Base AWD w/ an MSRP of roughly $45k. 24/15k
My response to him was succinct… “Are you high?”
Not surprisingly he had upwards of 40 '17 Giulias still on his lot at the time.
Exactly. He wouldn’t budge at all. Quite comical.
Was this Alpha Romeo of Larchmont? I recently had a comical experience there as well.
Even financed that is still high
