Perhaps you misread my post. My point was I discovered that leasing a $38k R will be almost identical to leasing a $51k m235i, so that was a pretty big deal in making me reconsider my decision to get an R.
BMW leases are just soooo good, especially if you are able to get the 'usual' 5-7% off MSRP, and VW leases are soooo bad, and there is barely any discount to be had there at all.
And, yeah, I have zero interest in the S3 anyway, as it is auto only. |
That was my point as well. The leases on VW / Audi are so messed up you can't cross shop w BMW. Granted 235 is especially strong w 63% residual and incentives, but even average BMW you have to go down a level in Audi or move to equivalent VW (ie Golf R) to get anything close to similar $. But why in the world would you lease a VW when you could get $15k more car and a BMW badge of the hood? Just doesn't make sense. Buying is a different story obvs but for a lease it's crazy.
