Perhaps just me, but I would avoid doing MSDs at all on these cars. The savings per month arent that great IMHO. The opportunity cost and the ability to swap the car anytime is worth more to me than the monthly savings.
Just like all these assumption ads here where people ask for their MSDs is where I see loosing 9 out of 10 potential buyers. No one is giving you 7x1135 at lease assumption. Having the flexibility to be out of a contract at anytime is worth way more to me than the 60 80 bucks you will save on this payment.
PS i am in a demo 19 x5 at 95.5k msrp @870/m before tax w 1k DAS per contract. No MSDs. The broker fee on top was separate and in line with what I know about the business outside of LH.
Those are solid numbers for now on a 19 X5, considering it is new for MY 19. I’ve kind of circled the X5 as my target, but my lease isn’t over until December 31st.
I’ve got the 2020 GLE and 2020 Q7 in the consideration set too, but since the MY 19 X5 will have an extra 6-12 months on market compared to the other two, should be more hackable imo.
I’m aiming for something similar as you (in terms of percentage per month), just on a lighter model, prob $65-$68k MSRP. Low $5’s, $3k at signing (taxes/fees & first). Already seeing the the $62k model starting to hit the marketplace here in the high $5s, think (hope) I’ll be able to hack it.
Well i didnt speak of the deal per se…but IF you are getting a lease on good terms at better than the market on swap or LT it makes sense to keep it as is without MSDs…any lease should make sense and be at least competitive against the assumption market.
For example I know that I would have no issue swapping my car at no cost at this point . IF I had MSDs in the deal it would be hard for me to move it even at a favorable payment.
