Am I correct in thinking that when the numbers all shake out from leasing and then buying the car out it's about $4000ish in savings below the dealer discount... and that if you just did a straight up purchase it would be about $3000 in manufacturer savings below the dealer discount? So...

Help somebody with a small brain understand this... am I correct in thinking that unless one has the cash on hand to immediately fully buyout the car using the lease / buyout discount "trick" it would be dumb to finance the buyout immediately rather than pay the lower monthly lease payment, save...

It looks like they're at $40K OTD for a new 2018 red GT2 AWD with remote start and 19" wheels and an extra $1000 more than my trade is worth... good deal right?

Update: Both the Stinger and Regal GS are still in the mix. The deals on either of those cars are out there, with the Stinger being my number one choice and the Regal GS still being a better overall bang for the buck (IMHO). The problem I'm having is that my trade value appears to be in the...

That Regal GS interior with the massaging seats though...

Would OTD at $40K be reasonable? Based on what I'm seeing on KBB and Edmunds that would essentially be the current private party value.

I think I MIGHT have a dealer "on the ropes" for a red 2018 GT2 AWD w/ remote start right now... what should I shoot for OTD right now?

Actually... road tests have clocked it at 0-60 in 5.2 seconds. Not as fast as the Stinger, but no slouch by any means. https://youtu.be/qeIhkY79PX8?t=629

I don't know if anybody else has noticed, but Buick is running INSANE deals right now on Buick GS's. Fully loaded 2019 Regal GS's can be obtained for $35K-$36K... inclusive of massaging seats, wireless phone charging, LCD cluster, sport exhaust, adaptive cruise, AWD, Bose stereos, etc, etc...

There are some solid deals out there on 2018 Kia Stinger GT2's, but I'm afraid to purchase a 2018 model due to all the issues I've read about (rattles / squeaks / rotors / paint / etc.). Is there such a thing as a "good to go" 2018 Stinger? Is there a VIN number range I should avoid? Thanks...

That was your purchase price (and not your lease price)?

Actually... Kia salesman and forum contributor MurlinatoR says he expects the mid-cycle refresh next year (for the 2021 model year) if Kia follows their normal cycles. That would go beyond minor changes... likely interior / exterior styling updates / mechanical updates / etc. If you look at...

If I could, I would... I'm sold. In my 2 daily drivers household we've gotten into a nice "replace the oldest car every 3-4 years... payoff the new car for 3-4 years... and repeat" rhythm so we always have 1 "new" car and 1 car that's paid off. I'm driving the old car now... but we're still...

If true I'd be kind of surprised seeing that the 2020 G70 looks like it's getting the 3D digital cluster and I believe that the 2019 Stingers / G70's already share the same analog cluster from the same parts bin (I think).
