I offered a one pay lease for $900 a month which should be doable for them without fudging the base one pay lease MF of 0.0026, but the dealership decined it. I let them know I would be there and sign the lease if they change their minds before EOD tomorrow.

Thanks for your detailed response. Taycan insurance is also $800 more a year than I4. Anyway, it's not a financially sound move but a purely emotional one, unless BMW suffers a catastrophic failure in a year, when it's out of warranty. You are right about a new set of tires and also a...

Thank you, good points. I absolutely can afford it. I drive very little, and I4 is not a bad car either. I wish I hated it which would’ve made decision easy

The demand will definitely drop after the $7500 ev incentive ended. That should lead to more discounts by manufacturers and dealers. Will they be as much as $7500 is hard to say

In lease you pay a difference between the agreed price and residual value which is computed based on MSRP plus interest. So the residual value will stay the same as 69% of MSRP but the selling price might drop

I just took another test drive and it was much better: a mixture of small windy roads and about 40 miles on a highway. The car kind of shrank around me and was easy and enjoyable to control. The dealership was closing when I return the car, and we agreed I would let them know about my decision...

I actually thought that with PASM Taycan should be very plush and glide over potholes. My I4 ev40 should have the same suspension setup as m50, and It’s very firm over road imperfections at slow speed

Thank you very much for the feedback!

You are absolutely right. I just spoke to Porsche financial again. They do subtract the unused portion of your one pay amount while determining the payoff amount. My insurance also told me that their payment is purely determined by the value of the vehicle at the time of total loss. The lease...

Thank you: a very interesting demonstarion

I just happened to stumble upon a thread on leasehackr where people say one doesn’t get money back
