audi a3
bmw 320i
lexus is 250 (2014)

(these fit in my budget best :( )

im extremely leading towards the lexus, i dont mind the ES luxury sedan either.
other then that i like the g37 too! and tbh wouldnt mind a luxury SUV either...




anyone own these guys?
all 2013-2014.

and probably middle of the pack in regards to features.
im leasing as well, i hate investing in something that depreciates faster then i can pay it off.

plus i can write the majority off as business expense so its all good.



if anyone has any of these, or deals with cars on the regular, or even sells them and can give any advice id appreciate it.


also, when i lease.. is it still easy enough to negotiate prices? add ons? etc?

If you weren't buying new my dads buddy is selling his 2010 es

The things pretty much perfect if you don't mind the km. He has to travel a lot for his job so hes driven it alot, and hes finally realized its time to take a company car instead of the car allowance.

yeah when you lease you can still negotiate prices and extra perks

make sure lexus doesn't pressure you to put down 5k "that you can get back at the end of the lease"

when leasing dont bother putting any money down, if you do it's wasted

lots of older body style is 250's going pretty cheap at least in ontario 20-25k~ used of course

not looking to buy used?

no not really, i like to get new cars every few years
i like the idea i can walk away at the end (provided i drive within km and dont fuck it up)

as well as writing it off as a business expense is cash back in my pocket.


how much can you really negotiate?
i want remote starter and black rims, lawllll thats my goal, and winters.

but realistically its whatever my payment can hold.

im planning on putting nothing down, if anything 1-2k.

@ride

yea its nice, and looks mint.
why doesnt he like the car allowance?

2010 looks dated to me, i was just in looking at 2013's and they look so much more modern sorta speak.
inside speaking more.

Because the car allowance is taxable so he actually only gets like half of it at his salary, and he puts so many km on his cars so quickly he kills their values. Its a lot easier to just have the company give him a new one every couple years.

And yeah the inside on the new ones definitely looks a lot nicer. His is half the price though.

lexus told me when i was helping my dad buy a 2012 lexus rx 350 that he can down 5k and "get it back at the end of lease"

payment without 5k and nothing down at all was like 890~ with the 5k down it is 840~ a month 48 month lease for his buisness

car total was 65k

my dad didnt want to down 5k (well he didnt have 5k in hand anyways hah) so we negotiated to get the price of $840 without 5k downing.

long story short my dad and i was at the lexus dealer for 8 hours, we actually left and went home without the car, they called back about 20~ minutes after we left and said we can have $840 without downing 5k if we signed that night.. which we did

canada prices btw

keep in mind though the 2013 rx 350's were about 2~ months away from being released when i got the car.. so i dunno if that had to do with it.

Lexus and my salesman were very professional though very legit, service and friendliness is awesome at a lexus dealer. Great experience so far!

you can probably just tell them to throw in the remote starter.

remember though always shop around and go to 2 dealers of the same car brand and ask for prices for both.. then use them to compare

since you don't plan on buying the lease after, negotiate the monthly payment more than the grand total/buy out price. Since that's what you plan on doing

oh i live in brampton ontario which is about 2~ hours drive away from you

lots of lexus dealers here :P

get a internet price then use that price to negotiate.. if you don't know the msrp then will bump it up a bit and "discount" that price first, instead of the actual msrp

2014 isnt on the website/released, so you have no choice but to wait.. use this time to research more about the car you actually want and not just badge buying!

decided with the Mercedes

fully loaded, nav, sports package.. everything I can get into the 250 I did
reason being it's a demo with 9k so they wanted something nice to show ppl with.

it's polar white, and I'm wanting to throw black rims on it and even wrap it with a Matt black
dunno how that works though lol

here's a vid of the exact car in silver with rims I'd want. basically ideal rims
