Plus, if this one was poorly built, you have to wonder what else could go wrong with it after you replace the board...

I guess sales at Cadillac are strong these days. They took a whopping $1,000 off sticker on a $56K SUV, yielding a $650 lease payment. I told the salesperson it's going to take a lot more discount to get a deal done.
If I'm going to be at $600 or above I'm springing for the XC90.
I'll take the XT6 if I can get a 55K example under $550 but no more. All of this makes the MDX leases look better and better.
At this point this purchase is going well into November which is smart considering all I have on my plate right now. It's doubtful to me that any programs will get worse heading into the holidays.

And what the heck is with Bronco vs Bronco Sport? Doesn’t look like the same vehicle at all. He wants the Sport, of course, as I’m sure everyone else does.

Bronco sport is an Escape.
Bronco is a true BOF truck

Bronco Sport is Based off the Escape. Bronco is similar to Wrangler.
It's good that there is a variety of shapes to the small SUV market.

As a side note, it’s replacing a 2002 525i that he’s had since new. That was to be the family home vehicle, but at well over 200k miles, he decided to pass it on to a family member and get something new.

You can probably buy a 2021 for about what you would pay to lease something else. Depending on the model, they are being discounted by at least $3,000 +- right off the bat. Along with 0% financing for 63 months the payments aren't bad. Of course it will depend on whether you like them or not.
We were close to getting a Pilot almost a year ago when we bought the Ascent instead. My wife liked them better.
We don't have an Acura dealer nearby, but we looked at almost everything else except MB and BMW. Mrs. venture doesn't like their persona.

they did open a new showroom by me (previously were running from the small Hyundai store). Took over an old Dodge/jeep dealership. What is odd though, that building is much bigger than the Hyundai store, so no clue why they did not move Hyundai over there instead.

If/when I want a fun car with a little more practicality, that’s on my list.
