Factory Order and Leasing

I've leased my last two Cayenne Hybrids from dealer inventory (2016, 2018). And I've leased a Panamera Hybrid and my current 911 also from the showroom. I am leaning toward a factory build for the next Cayenne. 2022 delivering in Jan or Feb. Any disadvantage of leasing a factory order?

Also, the dealer I generally work with prefers to do build orders because they avoid carrying costs because the sale is completed in a couple of days, and that is reflected in a better discount from MSRP, which further reduces the initial capital cost.

as for the residual, some options are more important that others, and your sales person can probably help you there, if that’s a concern.

so, if you can optimize initial capital cost and residual, I would expect that for any given finance cost, you would be helping yourself. Mike
