| Has anyone lease a used 745/750? What is the approximate payment for 2003/2004 car on a 36 month lease that sells for around $40K? Any things to watch out for? | |

In the Chicago area - BMW dealer has a NEW leftover 2006 750i. They want it off the lot and willing to deeply discount. I'm having a hard time finding new pricing/invoice info on '06's. Looking to negotiate a steep discount, then a great lease. The car's sticker as follows: Car $71,800 Luxury Seating Premium Sound Comfort Access Satellite Rear Shade Total MSRP $79,990 Any thoughts on price to offer? |

1998 740il 60,000 miles This car was driven by my buddy's aunt who rarely did over 55mph, and maintained it according to the schedule in the book. What would a fair price be for it? Also what to look for and what kind of milage would I expect on it? -mike

Replying to: paisan (Apr 10, 2007 10:57 am) As for what to look for, we are always concerned about malfunctioning electrics on older BMWs. Also check the brake rotors, as a brake job for this car is not cheap. Lower control arm bushings in the front end could be tired at 60K and look for erratic idle problems. Nice ride but not cheap to maintain.

Replying to: paisan (Apr 10, 2007 4:17 pm) This is a freight train you are trying to stop here...be careful what you put on there. $14K? They are dreamers....7 Series depreciate like rocks off bridges, especially out of warranty. Go check out edmunds.com True Market Value or any "realistic" price guide, like CPI or even NADA. The mileage figures are EPA estimates. Who drives a V-8 BMW by coasting down hills?
