Obviously this is my opinion but I feel if you're going to lease or purchase a 56K vehicle then you should be willing to ship. It's not a big deal and most of the big online companies make it simple if you don't have a guy. It's $600-700 to ship enclosed 2-3 states away and $150 less than that for open. You can ship over half the country enclosed for 1 to 1.2k.He's in California. Thats the best deal he's going to get. Most CA dealerships are doing leases at over 1k a month with 3k down. Its the MF that most CA dealerships are using thats killing any real point of leasing. Its why a lot of us ended up buying because its actually more expensive to lease. I could sell my car in 3 years and would have paid less than had i done a lease.
These two are just examples but I just signed a deal yesterday for a 3.0 Premium two states away. They had it listed on Autotrader for just under 51k. I said I wanted 53.5k OTD which works out to 50k before taxes/fees. 15min later they said OK and next day everything was signed and the shipper is going to be there the first part of next week at a cost to me of 625 enclosed. I had to do the same thing with my X3M. Best deal I could get in state was 3% off but 3 states over they gave me 10.5%. It cost me 700 to ship enclosed, I had it in two days and I saved 7.5k off the price of the car compared to in state.
Again, this is just my opinion but these dealerships don't deserve an extra 4k-5k of your money.
