X3 vs GLC 300
So we need to get a 2nd car and are torn between the GLC and X3. Leasing for 36 months and 10k miles/year. Budget is restricted to $700/mo max. Note: Pricing is pre-negotiation, but including Microsoft discounts and the salesman “being nice” up front. Got a pretty loaded 2018 GLC 300 4matic quoted at $640/mo with $4k down. Compared to an equally loaded 2019 X3 xDrive30i quoted at $757/mo with $5k down. Benz dealer is eager to unload the ‘18 models so might be able to go even lower. We plan to go back to BMW and try to get down to $700/mo if possible. Is the X3 worth the extra $/mo compared to the GLC?
entry level luxury cars are a scam
If you negotiate well, you can get both these suvs for around $40K base. @$700/mo + $4K = $29K.
You don't really need AWD. GLC++;
Model X
Yes, I definitely have a ways to go with the negotiation, but back to the root question... Let’s say I can get the GLC for $550/mo and X3 for $600/mo. Same/similar features. Is the X3 worth the extra $?
I think it comes down to personal preference. Not many people here will have driven both. Does Mercedes give free maintenance like BMW? That’s a very nice thing to have.
Those deals are pretty terrible. Check out leasehackr dot com forums. You should be able to get $600/month payments with zero or $1000 down on $55k cars.
^this. You're asking the question on the wrong forum. Leasehackr is the place togo..
