I like the 3 series, (mainly for how it drives) yet I don't like the 325 its underpowerd... yet when I drove the 330 I fell in love with it... its not a half bad car. I'm only looking for a model with the auto,power seats (w/memory), and the sunroof I was hoping to lease for either 36 39 or worse comes to life 48 months with 15K miles a year... I wanted to keep the payments below 500 after tax.. and actually closer to the 420 430 range.. anyone know if the dealers are willing to deal some is this price possible? looking to get the car with in the next week

BMWFS had very, very low money factors on leases in March and April. Starting May 1 - June 30, the lease specials went away and were replaced with the above incentives. I would recommend finding a good BMW internet forum like bimerfest. They have a forum there called "Ask the Dealer" - post that question and see what you get. One very dealer on the forum is Carbone BMW in NY. Look for me - my user name is BloodRedHog. |

Replying to: cjs2002 (May 25, 2004 3:17 pm) First, have you tried to locate a car equipped like this? I'm guessing it will be hard to find. Also, I think power seats are standard on the 330i. Anyway, I worked up some figures for you. Assuming 330i with just sunroof and steptronic. MSRP $38220 Invoice $35050 Dealer incentive $2400 Selling price $34000 (about $1150 over invoice-aggressive price) 36mo/36K lease MF .0022 residual 54% Assumed tax rate 6% (more or less) Payment: $520.83/mo tax included Due at signing: first payment, acquisition fee ($525), security deposit ($525), title fees.. Approx total: $1600 All this assumes a very aggressive selling price and a dealer that isn't marking up the money factor or acquistion fee. IF you can find a car equipped like this, you might be able to swing this deal, because the dealer will likely have a hard time selling such a lightly optioned car. regards, kyfdx |

the dealor has one that has auto and sunroof and I'm thinking about it... sticker is 36 somethihn so I'm thinking about it but have a sneaking suspicion that its not going to work out... so I think the TL or C230 will be my final options like both cars a lot but figured I'd at least give the 3 a shot. (what about a used one ... like 03 or 02 330 any ideas as what I could get a used one for? my dealorship wasn't very helpful they had some used ones but they were selling for close to the original msrp and had about 15K on em so I don't know)

Replying to: cjs2002 (May 26, 2004 8:04 am) MSRP on the 330i with automatic and moonroof is over $38K. If you like the 3-series and size isn't a problem, I'd go with the TSX over the TL. Or, if you can live with it, you might find a 325i with just premium package and automatic.. That would have the moonroof and power seats plus some other goodies... You might be able to lease that for around the $450/mo. mark. I like my 325i, and don't consider it underpowered, but I wouldn't want to test drive a 330i and 325i back to back.... I avoid what I can't afford!! regards, kyfdx |

Yep, the asking prices for BMW CPO cars are outrageous, but some dealers will come down quite a bit from those asking prices. About 2 weeks ago I was at our local BMW dealer, and they marked down the price for an '03 325i sedan -- with Premium, Sport, automatic, upgraded HK sound, heated seats, and the orient blue metallic paint -- to $30.7K. I don't remember for certain, but I believe it had about 14-15K miles on it. Considering the additional (and transferable) 2yr/50K warranty on top of the standard warranty, it seemed like a very competitive price to me. Nearly two years ago they had a 2000 528i (2 years old) with an asking price of $38.8K. But because it had sat on their lot for a couple of months, I was able to purchase it at $35.5K. |
