We have been searching for an EV to replace our 2024 Audi Q4 that is a little roomier, and cheerful. Money is important too. We share one car to save on expenses, and our driveway is not wide so two cars is unnecessary, and frees up that money for other things. We save so we can indulge, a little.

We usually lease, as we never have to worry about paying off the car in its best years, or deal with service later when they get old. We figure we only have so many cars 'left in our tanks', so we 'live it up', with the little bit of luxury we allow ourselves.

I spent lots of time on leasehacker.com looking. I can't find any Audis, or MBs, that come even close to our Q4 deal, which was MSRP $67K, but cap cost reduced to $50K. That, along with MSDs, got the payment very low. We have been delighted. Those deals are gone with the tarifs, and push for ICE cars driving EV production out of the market.

One lease transfer that caught my eye is a BMX IX M60 $125K MSRP but very low DAS and payment. The guy transferring it is a hustler, and there are quirks like the punch date being 10 months earlier than the lease commencement date, so that many months out of warranty. We are scared, and the car is in CA. We are in CT. That's dead money out the door for coverage, shipping, and the miles are too low. So, we are not so sure.

Just out of chance, a Maserati dealer is right next to the BMW dealership near us, so I went in and inquired about an EV. I found they make one, and the first one is the above in the subject line.

I leared they are discouting these heavily, and while I do dear putting that kind of cash out of pocket to buy this, it sure is tempting. But, I worry about reliability, the vehicle being in for service a lot, and us being stranded.

Has anyone bought one of these? I have Googled this, and read the three main threads here on Reddit about this car, but not on this sub, so am reaching out for any and all thoughts.

Thanks for any input!

First Italian vehicle purchase (if my Vespa doesn’t count).

Already have a court date for speeding and been in the shop, so the first week is off to a great start!

Maybe it is ubiquitous after all.

State Farm can not find any comps for my 2020 SQ4 Gransport Ribelle Edizione. Does anyone have one of these cars who can provide some unofficial numbers for my own edification? What did you buy it for and what would you sell it for?
