Is the BMW advertised i3 rex lease a good deal?

[EVjon]

$279/month 24 months
$4574 total at signing
10K miles/year $.20/mile over
MSRP $47850
No EV sales tax in WA

I've never leased a car but I want to wait for 200 mile EVs or fuel cell cars to become avail. I have an EV I bought 3 years ago and do not want another limited range car.

What's the selling price?

I have no Idea. It doesn't matter if I'm only going rent the car. It'll cost $10,991 over the the two years.
I didn't negotiate this. It is the BMW advertised lease.

Well then that tells you it's not the best deal.

As far as "good", it changes constantly. It all depends on the dealer & how many they have on their lot.

There have been way better deals from a dealer in Portland, which is something to look into since you're looking at the rex.

Thanks, Portland. I didn't think of that. I've got a weekend test drive set for this weekend maybe I'll drive down.

Wow, pretty bold showing up to one dealer while test driving a car from another

I always speak before thinking. The dealer would probably not let me put 400 miles on the car anyway. I just want to test the rex to see how it works.
