If you’re in the market for some brand new British luxury wheels, and you’ve got Chase Private Client status, this deal could be for you. Depending on the model of car you’re looking to pickup you can save between $1500 and $2500 as an allowance credit towards your purchase or lease. Make sure you read all of the specifics regarding, but it appears to extend to quite a few in both 2018 and 2019 model years. One major thing…the ink has to dry by April 1, 2019

A great alternative…I use Swapalease.com

Paying retail for anything is a very tough pill for me to swallow. In fact, I’ve never had a new car, and I think companies like swapalease.com are incredibly valuable, and offer nearly unmatched bargains. But…many people love that new car smell and this would add a bit of savings to your deal.

The last two mega deals I picked up on Swapalease

  • I leased a BMW 335i droptop convertible that would have been $850+ a month for $600 with extra packages of both interior and exterior protection paid in full up front as well as a reduced disposition fee. In total…it was over $5k in savings on a 22 month lease.
  • I leased a Mercedes C300 for $322 a month including taxes. This was discounted from over $700 and assumed from a man in Vegas whose job sent him to Asia. Over $7k discount from what he was paying.

Swapalease does advertise for new cars via dealerships, but the biggest discount you’ll find is with current lessees who are looking to get out of their contract, and need someone to take it over. And don’t be afraid to make a bid. I even shipped one of my cars from Michigan the deal was so good.

    GOOD JOB Milles… on setting James om the right path//

  • James Mathison March 8, 2019

    Hahh seriously how much is Swapalease for the little ad? You call people dumb for wanting to buy a new car then suggest to buy a lease. Hahhhhh dumbest thing I have ever read. Hope you got some decent money for this post. Such trash.

    By the way trying buying a used 2 -3 year old Subaru or do your lease dumb thing.

    Compare that to price of the brand new car to sell price of that new car 3 year later. Hint you come out ahead on the new car. Dealers love people who do not understand math.

    I think you do understand math, hence my shill comment.

      James –

      I think you’re the problem with a lot of online interactions. It’s distasteful, your comment. Not because it’s critical. Bring on critique and healthy debate. But it’s online vitriol disguised as virtue. And that my friend, is about as tasteless, as you can get.

      If your intention was virtuous and you wanted to educate my readers to better deals, you wouldn’t sanctimoniously go out of your way to attack me, misrepresent my statements, and slander my reputation. You’d simply challenge the merits of my advice.

      Since I’m one to encourage healthy debate…I’ve tried my best to respond

      1) Paid nothing for the “ad.” It’s a service I linked to and if you happen to use it I get paid a very small commission. A service that I highly recommend and have used for years before ever writing a single word on the blog.
      2) I never called people wanting to buy a new car dumb. In fact, I’d say that’s your projection given the overall tone of your comment. I totally get the attraction of new vehicles, I personally hate eating the depreciation. If you don’t mind…get a new car.
      3) I doubt you’ve even looked at the site otherwise you’d see that there are massive deals to be had. Deals that are far, far below market on vehicles across the spectrum. The whole site is designed as a marketplace that puts buyers and sellers together to make a deal.
      4) My “lease dumb thing” can be financially advantageous in a wide range of ways. If you buy a 3 year old Subaru, you pay taxes on the entire vehicle. If in a couple of years that vehicle has problems you may want to sell it. You don’t get those taxes back. If you leased that car at a major discount, you’d have the opportunity to test the vehicle out while only paying taxes on the lease payment. At the end of the lease…negotiate with the dealership on a purchase price if you love it. Both deals I had were offered cheaper total prices for vehicles ( lease payment + purchase price ) than other similarly aged vehicles for sale. Not to mention the fact that if you have a business lease payments are 100% tax deductible whereas ( unless you have a qualified heavy vehicle ) you can only depreciate a percentage of the vehicle when purchased.
      5) This is too incoherent to respond to…
      6) There’s nothing shill about promoting a product I believe provides greater choice for a reader, especially if it’s a product that I’ve used and been extremely happy with, and can save them a ton of money. Ultimately, it’s a readers decision to research what’s right for them.
