New Vehicle Time

[rstrohkirch]

Lease is up. Time for fresh ride.

So? Is the red one the "new rental"? I assume so because it has the dealership/rental card in the license plate holder.

Or, are you looking for "recommendations" of make, model, year, buy-or-lease?

What do you think of the Porsche Macan?

AMA if you're thinking about it.

edit: ^^ oh yea seems like OP already got it and was just showing it off.

The X3M is the new one. Just showing it off.

In regards to the Macan, in my opinion it's over priced for what you get. On the positive side it has nice interior material quality and the handling is very good. On the other hand it's very small, has performance of a one tier lower class, costs way more than MSRP after you actually option it to be comparable and the tech is so so. It also doesn't lease very well. The residuals are good but the money factor is high and there are 0 incentives most of the time.

great! enjoy your new lease.

FYI, porsche's never leased well, you can say... the manufacturer doesn't want them to be leased. BMW's are 95% leased.

I wonder how rare those will be. It seems that the X3 M40i is more popular, even among reviewers that drive them back to back. Not sure I would have gone with the full M if it was offered in when I got mine. Anyways, have fun and hopefully your lease is trouble free.

I was going to get the M40i even after these came out. But I saw this color in real life and I couldn't help myself. Did some research on the numbers and the % off sticker in some markets and incentives were big. I ended up getting 12K off mine in the end. If there weren't any good deals on this trim level I wouldn't have gotten it. I don't think it's worth the large price premium over the M40i considering how good that model is. I just wish the M40i got the shadow line trim options in the US because I really don't like the cerium color on the trim pieces/wheels.

That's a good deal on the discount. If it was that close, I'd jump too.

Just in time to not be able to go anywhere...

I'll go cruise around some back roads. Just don't get out of the car!!
