#883 of 1265 $600 135 BMW Re: g8 [circlew] by rayainsw Aug 20, 2008 (9:28 am)
Replying to: circlew (Aug 20, 2008 2:56 am) "For $600 lease, I'm all over a 135i. Period. "   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) Salesperson told me they cannot lease this car and that the monthly payment to buy a gt would be around $600.00   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) “but when compared with pricing, best bang, overall value, others models simply beat it.”   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: rayainsw (Aug 20, 2008 9:28 am) Well, for a returning customer, BMWFS will pay 3 months of my current lease or .9% financing to purchase. I qualify, so the G8 GT is out for me for now until the incentives start to come in.   Regards, OW

Replying to: circlew (Aug 20, 2008 2:56 am) For $600 lease, I'm all over a 135i. Period.   What if you had a family of 4 who you regularly ferried in said vehicle, adult sized family of 4....   -mike Motorsports and Modifications Host Replies to this message: paisan (Aug 20, 2008 6:36 pm) tayl0rd (Aug 21, 2008 5:25 am) paisan (Aug 21, 2008 6:41 am) circlew (Aug 21, 2008 4:17 am)

Replying to: paisan (Aug 20, 2008 6:32 pm) I challenge anyone to find a car in the $29-33k range that can compare to the G8 in terms of size, power, and features.   -mike Motorsports and Modifications Host Replies to this message: tayl0rd (Aug 21, 2008 5:25 am) paisan (Aug 21, 2008 6:41 am)

Replying to: paisan (Aug 20, 2008 6:32 pm) I have a family of 4 but this car is mostly my commuter sled. The wife has the standard 7 passenger fare. The 135i gets the bang of the buck and better efficiency for me.   Not a car for an adult-sized family of 4.   Regards, OW

Replying to: paisan (Aug 20, 2008 6:36 pm) I challenge anyone to find a car in the $29-33k range that can compare to the G8 in terms of size, power, and features.   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. Replies to this message: paisan (Aug 21, 2008 6:41 am)

But I see where you're coming from, though.   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
#892 of 1265 Can't find the '09 G8 on Pontiac web site by nojalopy1 Aug 24, 2008 (9:35 am)
New year model has been out for many weeks, and you *still* can't find it on the Pontiac web site. Lousy marketing.   I can find inventory going to specific dealer web sites.
