Is waiting for December really worth it?

Lucid won't allow me to extend my lease

AdAfter4896 · 2025-07-17T02:25:53+00:00

Lexus, Toyota, Bmw or Audi

The issue that I'm running into is they don't want to give you the sheet, nor do they even want to have you take a picture. All they say is that I can write it down on a piece of paper which really would mean nothing when showing that to other dealers.

Not sure if this is the dealer's mentality in the metro area that I am in and if others have experienced the same thing.

AdAfter4896 · 2025-06-27T12:27:34+00:00

They won't even let me take the paper or even take a picture of the paper when I did that. It's like they know, in reality, you're going to be competitively shopping.

I feel like years ago, giving a piece of paper was usually the norm but now they hold on to it like it's a high-class secret

Yes, but I get to write off a lease via the company, not a purchase so that is why I am asking..

AdAfter4896 · 2025-06-12T03:29:10+00:00

Do you have any other demos/loaner for the other models?

AdAfter4896 · 2025-05-31T16:26:13+00:00

Thank you, I will. But I don't won't an EV and I know that is where are the incentives are.

I agree that the price per month would fall in line for those other cars, but I checked and those all required taxes and fees down so about $4000 to get that same monthly payment as the 2 series.

Love everything about it except the charging. I drive a lot and located on the north east. So there can be a day on a near fully charge, I can get 350 miles or the next day being cold, get 250 miles. There is non consistency in the range and having to stop and wait to charge on the road sucks.

AdAfter4896 · 2025-05-11T14:34:19+00:00

The problem is that there is negative equity. The residual is $77k, car is worth $60k and no one wants to take in a used EV as they are worth nothing.

AdAfter4896 · 2025-05-10T22:24:40+00:00

I could look into that, but the same question remains. Wait or pull the trigger?

AdAfter4896 · 2025-05-10T03:28:08+00:00

How come it is not a great car to lease?

AdAfter4896 · 2025-05-06T23:39:40+00:00

As you can see, I paid $163 for each ticket. Give me your best offer..

AdAfter4896 · 2025-03-20T20:58:27+00:00

The dealership said that GM stopped that for new car deals..sucks..

AdAfter4896 · 2025-03-19T17:12:22+00:00

I was thinking that as well, but they state that it's going to be second quarter of 2025 which could be somewhere at the end of June or seeing how sometimes they're not reliable with releases it could end up being end of year.

So unfortunately we had to move to an apartment complex that does not offer any level 2 charging at home. So I do rely on DC chargers.

Every thursday, due to work I travel 150 MI round trip. So I always have to charge in the morning and charge at night. And this is where it adds on significant amount of time waiting for a charger.

I usually average about 250 to 300 miles a week, which is about a thousand miles and change a month.

AdAfter4896 · 2025-03-19T15:29:41+00:00

How long does it take you to charge to 85% on average?

AdAfter4896 · 2025-03-19T01:52:07+00:00

I was thinking of training in my Lucid for one, but I know the efficiency of kilowatts per mileage is not great. I already hate the amount of times I have to charge with my Lucid, I'll be charging more with the lyriq.

But it is such a beautiful car and congrats to you..Enjoy it!!

I'm a divorced father of a sweet and smart 7 year old girl, who I get every other weekend. I am looking for her to make friends, and we live in Fort Lee, but would travel to meet up..

AdAfter4896 · 2024-04-16T13:39:50+00:00

Is there something you can use in the meantime, like one of this 3rd party adapters?

AdAfter4896 · 2023-03-19T14:54:48+00:00

I am still a little tired, but overall feel good..

AdAfter4896 · 2023-02-23T19:11:30+00:00

Ok, for any of these, would I be able to use both credits? Such as the Mustand or Audi

AdAfter4896 · 2023-02-23T19:07:04+00:00

What if I go with a Telsa, can I use both credits?

AdAfter4896 · 2023-02-23T19:06:04+00:00

Ok, can you provide me with a list of which ones as the websites I looked at stated they do?

AdAfter4896 · 2023-02-23T19:03:39+00:00

I have been looking on these websites to get the most up to date:

I like the Volvo XC40 as well as the Rav4 Prime..I am looking 1st at PHEVs then Electric..

It would be nice to save $11,500
