It’s not theoretical it is far cheaper to own a jlu than an m3. I am comparing leases of m3 to purchase costs of a jlu for years 1-5. I don’t see myself owning it forever. That’s the main issue, and that makes it stupid expensive. JlU for 10 years vs m3 for 10, jlu will be 50% cheaper. But who owns cars for a decade !? Not me :laugh:Johnny_P wrote: ↑Tue Dec 12, 2017 8:06 amYeah I mean that's a tough sell when you have pre owned M3's and all for the same price. The JL should theoretically cost less to own than one of those because of low depreciation and lack of maintenance cost. But still. And the tax situation in Cali doesn't help anything.max225 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 11, 2017 4:30 pmAlso, I am starting to get cold feet... about it... 50k is just insane... I think i'll continue to jump lease to lease... either a C43 or an M3 when I am done... it just makes more sense, the ownershit costs will be over 1k a month on the jeep if I keep it 12-24 months...I have car commitment issues and the tax alone will be insanely expense
Tough call. I think it's worth a look though. I think you'd be really happy with an off road vehicle.
JlU leases have not yet been announced, if I can get it under $500 a month I’d go that route that will be where I am at with my 3 series. But I am not sure that will be possible
