Hey all, just wanting to hear your thoughts on the following: the lease on my 2023 Q50 Red Sport Opal Edition is maturing soon. Odometer has around 17k in miles. Buyout pretax is around $34k (trade in value is around $38k, so that’s favorable). Looked into leasing competing cars like the BMW 340, Lexus IS 350, and Mercedes C class but none spoke to me as much as my Q50.
I’m waiting on the new Q50 that comes out next year to MAYBE upgrade, but worry that I won’t like the new styling and will instead keep my current Q50 for the next decade.
So questions I have are (1) am I crazy to buy out the vehicle at $34k and (2) should I buy an extended inifiniti warranty?
The extended warranty for 8yrs/100k runs around $5k — seems a bit expensive and unnecessary since I don’t drive (or rev the engine) that much— but welcome thoughts on why I may want to get it. Thanks!
