    Lease Buyout

    Those are really two different situations. If you’re considering returning the car, you should schedule a pre-return inspection so you know whether you may be charged for any damage or excess wear. That process shouldn’t require driving nine hours to a Lucid studio. If you’re considering...

    Lease Buyout

    New development on Lucid lease buyouts… I went onto the Lucid Financial website to confirm my buyout and inadvertently found a new link to a financing company called Tresl, which now appears to be a financing source for Lucid lease buyouts. I already have financing arranged, but I told Tresl...

    Lease Buyout

    Follow Up: I finally decided to buy out my Lucid at the deeply discounted payoff. What sealed it was finding an almost exact clone of my car in Lucid’s used inventory—same color, options and configuration, originally delivered one day after mine, and a VIN which is within about 40 of mine. It...

    Pre-owned Air Touring purchasing option question

    It is another year or 12k of standard warranty.. No change in powertrain.. I will add that Lucid mentions that all used cars are still inspected and must meet certain criteria for their resale.. This might offer more comfort than buying one from a used car dealer.

    Pre-owned Air Touring purchasing option question

    If you spend any time comparing prices, you’ll find that Lucid’s non-certified used cars are typically $6,000–$8,000 above general market pricing. Since they aren’t certified, they come with essentially the same remaining factory warranty and support as a used Lucid purchased elsewhere. That...

    Curb Rash

    I had them fix bad curb rash my 20" OEM wheels in platinum and they look perfect... I doubt stealth would be much more difficult.. Had my lease-end pre-inspection after the repairs and the guy said. "your wheels look like new".

    Service

    Why don't thet order seat parts and let you drive the car in the meantime? Are they making you leave it there so you don't lose your place in line??

    Lease Return Tires

    I have not seen the 20" OEM wheels with Pirelli tires as OEM... Every one I have seen in California had Michelin Pilot EVs... Maybe they used Pirelli for all season tires in other areas?

    Reality Check: Air Pure Promo Ad

    Of course, but the brand manager for the account at the ad agency should know what is being advertised.

    Service

    This seems to be a widespread current issue with service, and it could really hurt Lucid at a time when the company should be working to maintain customer loyalty. After 34 months of being well taken care of by Beverly Hills, it has become now difficult to find anyone in the service department...

    Reality Check: Air Pure Promo Ad

    I have been seeing Lucid Air $699 lease promo going through my social media feed.. However the photo appears to show a glass roof Grand Touring with 21" wheels.. Maybe they should show the Air Pure you can actually lease for $699, rather than the top of the line versionl one which leases for...

    Lease Buyout

    I also think they have a bunch of lease returns at this time and they are probably selling at lower prices in wholesale auctions, so offering deals to those with completed leases is probably preferable to BofA and Lucid in the long run...

    Lease Buyout

    Big time reduction... Don't listen to the recorded message about residual.. Ask for an agent and request a discounted buyout. They will put you on hold to find a supervisor and will get you a price... I have done it a couple of times, and the rate I got today after making last payment was...

    Lease Buyout

    I just got an end-of-lease buyout from Lucid at a price which is hard to ignore. It is literally 16k below the stated residual, However, Lucid does not offer used car financing and my own bank (coincidentally Bank of America) will not finance cars being bought off lease. Has anybody found an...

    Buying your Air at lease-end

    I was ready to turn my car in and lease another --or buy another used Lucid... I made a call today and the negotiated buyout price dropped below 34k. It is hard to resist the buyout at that price.

    Lease Return Warning / Question About Lucid End-of-Lease Inspection

    😳Replace the bumper?? It looks repairable with some light body and paint work... There are tons of guys doing plastic bumper repairs in every city. . It is now hindsight, but would have been better to have gotten this repaired before turning it in... I had a larger scrape into the plastic on...

    Lease Buyout

    They are better off offering attractive buyout prices to current lessees. Lucid appears to be dealing with a significant volume of lease returns, and the cars that aren’t purchased by the original lessees are probably going to wholesale auction to sold off at $6,00–$7000 less--or so

    Air Pure vs Grand Touring in 2026

    I did at one time, but the Pure had full charge so regen was very light.. Even my AWD has less regen with a full charge. Just curious to get feedback from those with more time behind wheel...

    Air Pure vs Grand Touring in 2026

    Can anyone who has spent significant time driving both compare the regenerative braking in the Pure RWD versus the Touring? I currently have a Pure AWD, which has a drivetrain similar to the Touring. I really enjoy its strong regen and almost one-pedal driving dynamics in most situations. It’s...
