#11777 of 11920 BMW 328 lease by trulyindian

Oct 18, 2012 (6:53 pm)

I moved to the US sometime back and due to certain issues my credit score dropped (issue was small, but since my history is very short, it affected my score by more than what its worth).
  
Anyways, BMW FS put me at progressive credit range(I believe that is 601-639 ouch!) and has approved me for a 30 month lease on a new 328i. (30 month as I am a foreign national and my visa expires in 34 months. i think my approval has got to do with my high income).
The quote I have right now is
  
2012 328i
MSRP 41 945 (premium, cold, bluetooth with bmw assist). 30 months/ 10k miles a year
  
7k downpayment (includes 1st month's pay), (385 per month + tax)
  
I believe this is a lot . Given my credit situation I want to know what's a good deal for me and what should be my number to negotiate.
I wanted to know the right lease rate or money factor for this credit tier. It is important for me to know this so that I can have the right negotiation with the dealer.
  
It will be great if you guys can help me out

So what is a lot, the payments or 7K down payment?
 
Do not forget your credit score, affects your Money factor which I'm sure if high. The rule behind leasing is, use other people money, save some money and do not use all of the 7K. But I'm tihnking your low credit score is going to affect anything you buy...

#11779 of 11920 2013 328ix PRICING QUESTION by golfer21

Oct 24, 2012 (8:02 am)

Hello all, question to the experts. What percentage off MSRP is fair or percentage off invoice should I be looking at to buy outright (no lease or financing) a new 3 series? Looking at mineral grey color plus premium and cold weather packages MSRP is $43,995.00 (invoice $40,680) , including $850 destination. I am not looking to absolutely steal the car but don't want to get robbed either. A couple of hundred here and there is ok. The dealer I am dealing with is in Massachusetts. Thanks! Going to pull the plug on this very soon.

#11780 of 11920 2009 328i CPO 28k miles for $22k-right price? by ashjaw

I am looking to purchase a 2009 328i CPO w/ 28k miles non-metallic color and leatherette. no additional options. dealer has listed the price at $22,200. This will be my 1st BMW purchase.
Is that a fair price? do you think I have room for negotiation? if yes, what would be a fair price to pay?
I am in no hurry to purchase so I can wait until end of year. usually by year end, does the price of CPO vehicles drop similar to new cars?

Are you sure there are no options on this car? 4 Dr or 2Dr, Manuel or Auto?
 
Kelly Blue Book says this car (assuming it is a 4 door) is worth 26K. BMW dealers are pretty good about pricing their CPO cars, so not too sure why there is a 4K difference..

#11784 of 11920 2012 Discount? by monacodk

Nov 07, 2012 (7:02 pm)

Went into my dealer looking at 2013 328i sedan. Dealer has a brand new 2012 328i; premium package, technology, metallic paint, backup sensor that he is pushing.
 
How much discount should I expect on a 2012 being that it is a) the previous model year and b) the previous body style compared to the 2013s?
 
Thanks

Carman,
 
I had the same thing happen and my question is this: is there a difference between the residual or money factor between the '12 and '13? And any additional discounts?
 
BTW, for the above question, the '12 and '13 sedans are pretty much the same.
