these leases have gone out of control
It's cheaper to buy it and take the deprecitation hit at this point.

Check this thread out. This will get your blood boiling. https://mbworld.org/forums/w213-amg/...-amg-cars.html

how much do you have to put down and how long do you finance for and how much more/less upside down are you at the 36 month (normal lease return) mark

Honstly that is a feasible option today bc of how easy it is to sell a rare car on something like bringatrailer, that wasn't available in the past.

Still though, you miss the tax benefits of leasing for work.

Have you thought about buying the car personally and leasing it to your business? Talk to your accountant. A friend of mine does that with an Audi A8.

Your not really gonna sell these on BAT i feel, but they do love wagons over there on that site and yes you do miss the tax benifits of leasing, but if purchased outright you do get tax credits on trades if you keep buying in the future.

Hmmm very interesting......time to make a call myself

3 year lease
$66,120 buyout

These numbers were sobering to say the least.

Jesus. So for they want someone to pay $25k over MSRP, $4,100 down and $112k over 36 months for the "opportunity" to buy it out for $66k, making the grand total around $182k, on a car with $124k on the sticker. What a deal. Someone is going to spend enough to finance, payoff, and own the car at its sticker price and end up with nothing.

No, I am not paying this! This was a quote that I obviously laughed at and walked away!

I meant a general "you", whatever customer takes this deal. That's cray-cray

I always wondered why people overreact when someone replies to their posts lol!😂

I didn’t want to be that dude who paid too much and now I’m that dude who overreacted😉

Such a difficult time to purchase a luxury car. Maybe worth sitting it out. Purchase financing is almost neck and neck with leases in may cases. Unless going through the business for maximum deduction, purchasing might be cheaper.
