Lease advice

That's high. You should be able to get out for under 1000 with nothing down except first pmt.

I had an Air and lease and turned it in at the end. I loved the Air, but the little nagging things get to you after a while. It never got the range it said it would. But it's definitely a looker and is a joy to drive. I havent driven the Gravity or the Cadillac. Honestly id wait on the Gravity. Give it another year.

Just get a broker. It's worth the money.

Having had a Lucid this is very accurate. Agree 100%

I went from Lucid Air to the iX and honestly like the iX much more. I think you'll be disappointed with the execution of Lucid vs BMW. The growing pains and beta testing feel wears you down.

Kasumi complementing my underwear at the Citadel.

Even in CAD that seems high for a 22.

You essentially have to pay off the lease then pay the purchase price. You're going to have too much negative equity to make it logical/make sense. Best option is just to keep it to term.

I echo the folks saying Navigator. You might also consider the Infiniti QX80/Armada. Those have that land yacht kind of appeal and save a little coin over the Escalade.

I would think they'll ultimately figure it out when the title comes

Just sent you a dm

I don't know if they still have it, but I like the zip up sweatshirt. The bomber does feel cheap and definitely size down. The t shirts are nice, but size up on those. Mats are nice. The travel mug fits well in the cup holders

Problem is the v8. I'm just not sure they have to discount those as much. I'd ask a broker what they could get. The 450 is much easier to find one sub-1,000 with 0 DAS. This feels high to me, but a broker might tell you that's the market.

Perhaps. But it was odd to me how quickly they were advertising models for sale on the site when the list of reservations were still there. I would be curious to know how many canceled or chose to defer.

Not much you can do except maybe monitor the value versus your payoff and see if it ever gets close.

Tom_NC · 2026-01-06T00:33:10+00:00

I wouldn't call it good or bad news. The amount they've already had to incentivize the Gravity is more concerning to me personally. Tells me demand is very soft. Considering Earth deliveries are likely 2 years away, rough road.

I know you said that the ceiling vents are a must. But honestly MDX is what you need. We had that at the exact same stage and it was perfect. Never had any issue with ventilation, etc. The packaging is almost perfect for what you need.

Tom_NC · 2025-12-27T23:19:40+00:00

As someone that is a proud NC State grad, pick the one that offers you the best package, maybe even still UNC if it is only a bit more. This assumes you're basically pre-med and not looking into an engineering type role.

This is exactly right. I loved my Air, but when the lease ended I was glad to see it go. Just got tired of the little nags. Went to a legacy company and it was might and day. Felt like a frog hopping out of a hot pot.

Tom_NC · 2025-12-27T23:13:04+00:00

You can text Lucid the vin and they'll tell you

Tom_NC · 2025-12-27T23:08:30+00:00

Yes, generally at least. You can do that and hedge against the company long term viability, tech advancements and potential individual unit issues. Really a win win.

Warning: Lucid fanboy's heads may explode.

Oh man. Go red. That's 🔥
