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?

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?

Probably around $8,000. I'd guess mileage around 14-16 mpg in city driving. Loafing on the highway you might break 20 mpg.
 
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.

Brakes look fairly cheap for it actually. I priced them out Rotors and pads are no more expensive than the subarus.
 
$8k? wow they are looking for $13-14k and mpg of 16/24

What kind of rotors? From China?
 
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?

Brembo Slotted Rotors and Hawk HP+ pads for around $550-600 for all 4 corners. $100 for Goodridge SS Lines.

Looked at KBB trade-in and it says about 11k-11.5k Guess I'll offer 11k for it and see if they go for it. Gotta drive it and see if I like it or not.

That's kinda high Mike. KBB's trade in is most other price guides retail. $11K is high retail IMO, and once you dump money in the car and try to resell in a year, you're gonna take a beating.
 
Are you sure those aftermarket parts meet OEM standards for that car? Well, maybe. I don't really know. But that's 4,300 lbs of automobile you are haulin' down.
 
It's a nice driving car. I'm sure you'll like it. It doesn't feel as big as it is.

Yes they are well beyond the OEM requirements for the car! They are actually performance parts for it!
 
May decide to go ubber economy though, still debating.
