Replying to: circlew (Aug 20, 2008 2:56 am) Once, the rush is gone, I think I will see them trying to do most things to move them. They are piling up at my dealership, and they apparently said they are moving quite well, but that would be only to tell me, they are not desperate for my money, when perhaps they are. Its like they want to really sell them, but sometimes a company, can over do it, because creating it to be too expensive, and then leaves us walking away, there has to be a happy medium. So, I wonder realistically how many they want to sell in a year, because I think a few people will dump some serious cash into it, then others will look elswhere, because they know they can get better car for $600 a month. It like a must have, and they'll in a year or so, try to sell it. This sounds like I am bashing the G8,Its a great car, but when compared with pricing, best bang, overall value, others models simply beat it. If pricing can eventually come down to earth, then it will make more sense. I would think a company, in the economy that we are in, they would open the leasing more, to get them moving and out. Creating a customer base from the start.

Replying to: circlew (Aug 20, 2008 2:56 am) Well, BMWUSA.COM shows a 335i with ( only ) Premium Pkg & Automatic for less than $600. [ plus TT&L ] Though for only 10,000 miles / year. No 135 'deals' currently shown.... BMW lease costs have risen ( a lot ) of late. They were burned rather badly by lower actual values on lease returns than the residuals used in calculating the leases... - Ray Not interested in leasing anything right now...

Replying to: robger99 (Aug 19, 2008 5:20 pm) Wow!!! I've heard of porr salesmanship, but that takes the cake. I could understand their saying "no lease deals," or even making it less attractive because of the assumed residual, but to out-and-out refuse to lease is weird. Not to mention the purchase payment quote without any consideration for the length of the loan (think they assumed 60 months?) or your credit rating. |

Replying to: bvdj84 (Aug 20, 2008 8:35 am) Well, I think that depends on where your priorities lie. If you seek & appreciate the brute acceleration and related dynamic abilities of the V8 \ GT version of the G8, and want or need a reasonably large 4-door sedan, I see nothing else close to the price that can provide anything close to the performance. If those attributes are not among your highest priorities, I would expect the G8 GT to drop off your radar . . . - Ray It is still on mine . . . |

Replying to: paisan (Aug 20, 2008 6:36 pm) Hyundai Genesis? Chrysler 300C? Dodge Charger R/T? A 3+year old BMW 545i, Mercedes E500, Audi A6 4.2, Infiniti M45, Chrysler 300C SRT8, Dodge Charger SRT8, Dodge Magnum SRT8? Heck, a GTO?! There's plenty. But I see where you're coming from, though.

Replying to: tayl0rd (Aug 21, 2008 5:25 am) 300c - A lot more money Genesis - Possibly, but w/v8 will be 37k Charger - Maybe, but again, more money equivilently equipped Used - Hard to compare used v. new, although i did think of an A6, E500 as well, but the used v. new got me. -mike |
