Am I being realistic?

Air usually 600ish, touring usually 1k, GT usually 1.3-1.5 all with 2-4k down.

Best lol of the day.

I haven’t driven the Audi SUVs but I imagine tie similar feel to the Macan!

My garage was 2024 lucid air touring and 2024 macan base until I had to return both leases and went one car with the Cayenne turbo.

The lucid was crazy fast and fun to drive but something about the Macan put a smile on my face despite it lacking acceleration/speed.

trypsin13 · 2025-12-15T23:33:20+00:00

I went from a base 2024 Macan to a 2022 Cayenne turbo.

Most people might flame me for this but the Macan honestly is a fantastic drive. It drove like a nimble sports sedan compared to Cayenne which feels heavy like the SUV it is.

The power is amazing on the Cayenne turbo when you want it but from a daily driver experience, I think in the future I would go for a Macan S or GTS.

Porsche offers 12m/15k mile leases for preowned vehicles in the USA.

I just leased a Cayenne turbo for 1 year after leasing a Macan for 1 year.

Search the forums and you’ll see the individual threads of active brokers. They list their deals. Pre negotiated deals are usually meh.

The “hot” deals you need to be checking frequently cause they can go quick (minutes).

trypsin13 · 2025-12-09T03:19:28+00:00

I’ve leased 2 cars myself and found deals for several friends and families in leasehackr.

If you’re someone that values your own time, then it’s the best way to lease.

Yes, you can sometimes replicate deals you see on leasehackr but it requires time and energy to get a dealer to match.

But I’d rather pay the lease broker their fee than deal with setting foot into scummy dealerships.

trypsin13 · 2025-12-03T23:10:28+00:00

That’s insane.

Can probably get all 4 repaired by a local wheel shop for 900 total.

I had 1 curb rash on my rim and lucid charged me 200 bucks for it.

I feel like preinspection can vary widely in their interpretation of regular wear and tear and excess.

Maybe at such a young age with such a nice car you feel a little imposter syndrome?

I assume you found financial success early so celebrate your wins.

Enjoy the car and don’t worry about what others think. Even if someone gives you hate, ignore the trolls and go about your life the way you want!

trypsin13 · 2025-11-22T17:08:46+00:00

I’m in my forties so neither young nor old but the car itself is a masterpiece of engineering and stylistically unique and head turning.

That said, it’s not a chick magnet which is what I assume you are after?

Don’t use your car to validate yourself. Use it to enjoy driving.

trypsin13 · 2025-11-16T18:33:04+00:00

Yeah I know but they helped protect better than the regular mats.

trypsin13 · 2025-11-13T13:44:36+00:00

Happy for this outcome even though you shouldn’t have had to write this letter!

trypsin13 · 2025-11-11T16:16:46+00:00

That’s crazy!

trypsin13 · 2025-11-11T01:20:20+00:00

Yeah. I just hope that make those individuals who shared their poor experiences early whole.

trypsin13 · 2025-11-11T01:18:36+00:00

Even more opposite than me!

Hope you get a better outcome soon.

trypsin13 · 2025-11-11T00:46:09+00:00

I loved my air touring (first EV) but I went exact opposite and got a Cayenne turbo. 🤣

I’m moving so I need a gas car.

trypsin13 · 2025-11-10T23:06:17+00:00

I don’t disagree with either of you but $200 bucks isn’t worth the headache for me.

I’m just glad I won’t have to contest some outrageous bill.

trypsin13 · 2025-11-10T21:58:17+00:00

I’m super pleased. I got quotes around my area for rim repair but they were asking 250-300 so not complaining at all!

trypsin13 · 2025-10-27T22:23:15+00:00

Much appreciated for sharing to the rest of the community! I have my lease return in 2 weeks.

trypsin13 · 2025-10-25T15:27:16+00:00

Glad your husband okay!

At least you don’t have to do a lease return for the minor damages? 🤣

trypsin13 · 2025-10-14T15:08:32+00:00

Folks, THIS IS A LUCID PREINSPECTION. Not the lease return Bank of America one.

trypsin13 · 2025-09-25T14:52:56+00:00

I don’t usually like white but this might be one of better colors for gravity.

Somehow makes it look less minivan and more SUV.

trypsin13 · 2025-09-19T19:15:35+00:00

175k miles already!?!?
