Mercedes starting subscription service, priced between $1000 to $3000/month.

I'd be down with a $500/mo Mazda subscription. Miata in the summer, CX5 in the winter, insurance included?

Problem is, everyone and their nan would do the same... so Mazda would have some football field full of CX-5s in the summer and Miatas in the winter

I'd be much more down a cheaper version of something like the Benz program but with 1 yr ownership periods. Trying to think of a brand I'd want to do this program with.... maybe BMW? M240i for a year, then an X3 M40i, then the new Z4, maybe a 7 series after that etc. Just try different shit and really live with the cars for a while. Would be much easier for them to allocate etc. and you'd still get to try a range of cars. But you'd have to commit for a year....

[CaminoRacer]

They have a program for that already.

Lol, yeah, it's called leasing and it's expensive. Everyone would love to drive a new bmw for the first year of its life.

Ford has a program for used (2015ish) cars called Canvas.

I've never seen any 1 year lease programs?  They're mostly 3 year 10,000 to 12,000 annual mileage limited ones.  Am I missing something?  Anyone with an over 30 minutes commute to work one way can't lease unless they don't mind expensive overages.  Might as well buy.

Peugeot hat following program in Germany in April 2017, together with a mobile service provider.

€99.99 a month for one year for a Peugeot 208, 82hp, manual transmission, 2 Zone AC, panorama roof, heated front seat, touchscreen, radio, rear view camera.

Includes 10.000km in the year.

Includes all taxes, fees and registration. Insurance with €1.000 deductible, total of €100 Million liability insurance (limit €15 Millionen per Person)

You also buy a 2 year mobile internet package for €14.99 with 2GB a month.

Total fix costs were €1589.54 for one year Peugeot 208, two years of internet.


They signed 5.000 contracts on the first day. On the third day the French mothership intervened, pulled the plug on the program and fired the three top managers for Germany. Peugeot dealers were furious because people were steamrolling into the dealerships for test drives, but because this was a leasing program offered directly through corporate, they got no commision.

10,000 km in a year is a joke.

12 month leases are available, if you ask.

Here in the States, yeah.

I think in Europe it is about the average.

[Lebowski]

That's about what I average.

[Raza]

I drove around 1,000 miles last year.

[Xer0]

I'm averaging about 7,500 a year.  While some people's commutes are long, its important to remember that 1 hour in LA traffic is like 2.5 miles.  I know my hour commute to work is like 9 miles in Chicago.

[MexicoCityM3]

We put about 20,000km a year on the X5 and another 10 to 15,000 on all the other cars combined.

[12,000 RPM]

I do about 20K miles a year. My commute is very normal for the area.
