Prologue vs Optiq? Leasing Questions
My current lease is up this month. I’ve looked at all the EVs. I don’t like the Hyundai or the Kia. I love the Rivian R2, the Volvo EX 60 and the BMW iX3., but their lease deals border on financial insanity. I’ve settled on the Prologue and the Cadillac Optiq. There are some great deals on the Prologue. Not so much on the Optiq, but it’s not as crazy as the others I mentioned. I like the Optiq better. It’s more refined, the screen is amazing. SuperCruise is a nice addition and I worry about the Prologue not getting as much support since it’s being discontinued (Service and Parts, etc.). That being said, I would be happy with either. I have a couple of questions:
Are my concerns about the Prologue overblown. What experience have Prologue owners had?
how much more would you pay per month for the Optiq. Ive gotten quotes for under 500 for Elite trim with minimal due at signing (and i think there is more room). The initial offer on the Optiq Premium Sport is over 800 for same terms, but they have told me to make them an offer. I cannot justify paying that much more for the Optiq even given my above issues. So what should I offer. In your opinion what’s a reasonable premium for the Optiq?
I have flexibility because I can share my wife’s car for a month or two. I’m tempted to do that to get better deals, but I worry about the inventory of the Prologues running out. Should I be concerned?
Just trying to figure out what to do. I’m truly fine in either vehicle. But I’m coming from an Audi and would love the luxury of the Caddy.
What would you do?
