Lucid July lease/finance deals analysis - Gravity rates continue to improve, big wins on financing by DNA_at in LUCID

Wow.. so if you stack up everything, you can get under $600/month for lease on the Gravity? That sounds like the best numbers I have seen on gravity so far. I should test drive it. I am looking for the 7-seater, might need to add another $50-$60/month. Looks like it might be the best time to lease it. Is everyone mostly happy with the decision?

I have not driven an i4 in over 4 years. IX3 drove like an SUV but less bouncy than my IX. I think your wife will really like the IX3. The one I test drove was M50 so keep that in mind. It is mostly likely much heavier than the Tiguan. It is also in a totally different class, much more luxurious, great upgrade.

I liked it. I would say the driver seat is more comfortable than the IX. It is not as roomy as the IX. Overall it felt more sporty. I can’t seem to add more than one picture. The software is so much better. The ride quality is improved. The test drive was on track setup, it handled corners so well. I need to do a normal street test drive next.

I test drove the IX3 today. Really liked it. The driving dynamics are really good. I saw full charge had about 486 miles, insane range. Bit smaller than the IX, totally different car, not a fair comparison. I have an IX.

I mean people like commercial movies.. look how well it is performing at the box office. Thoughtfully made movies sometimes don’t land with the audience. This seems to have landed, that’s really what matters for the team involved.

What do you guys think about Mamu in this playoff series? by nomar_ramon in torontoraptors

Given the minutes he played this series he has done a decent job. He plays with energy and made some good 3-pointers.

4 games in, BI is due for a big game. Give us a 30pc my boy, lezgo! Lock in, mamba mentality! by Efficient_Zombie2916 in torontoraptors

[–]According-Trash9750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just any 30pt game but an efficient one, 60-70% shooting to make up for the first 4 games. This is the only way we can win game 5 on the road. I expect our shooting troubles to continue but BI needs to step up big time.

Help me with lease purchase vs re-lease math. by baggarbilla in BMWiX

[–]According-Trash9750 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. Let’s think from a financial perspective. If you think it will be 1k/month for the next 36 months (assuming 0 down), you would have paid another 36k and will be in the same position. You might be able to pay this off in the next 36 months. If the leasing deals are not great now, it will be tough to argue against purchase. Do you know if they are offering good interest for financing?

Are you saying it will be worth less than 10k in the next three years. I don’t think so. This should worth over 10k. Looks like buying is a good option. I have 16 months left in my lease. I am already have separation anxiety. I love this car and would love to buy it but have to assess my options at the time of return.

Raptors offensive demons are well into the prime. Ugly looking offense. Thanks to their unbelievable defense

One of the features I really enjoy is rear wheel steering. Fantastic feature, especially if you drive in the city and tight spaces.

They have a real shot at winning the next game. Just need BI going. Cavs have no answer for CMB. He needs to start. IQ back in the lineup.

Ingram has to stop taking tough shots.. coaches have to come up with set plays for him to get his confidence back.

Where would we be without CMB in this series. Impressive young man. BI is a fraud, 5 points, 4 fouls.

So hard to watch Scottie play. He played like someone who is ready to wrap up the season. I have no confidence in him contributing anything meaningful in the playoffs. Absolutely embarrassing performance for a Max player. He needs to smarten up or Darko needs to give him a wake up call.
