#1484 of 10322 Latest news on incentives... by kyfdx HOST Jun 24, 2004 (6:32 am)
The dealer incentives on 3-series will indeed expire at the end of June. They will be replaced with LEASE incentives. If you are going to BUY your 3-series, then I would wrap it up before the 30th.   regards, kyfdx

#1486 of 10322 Lease incentive vs Buy incentive by scsnospam Jun 24, 2004 (8:37 am)
I am about to take delivery on a new 330i. The dealer has agreed on $500 over invoice (including $2400 rebate).   1. Is this a good price ? 2. My plan is to lease the car for 3 years. So is it better to lease at the current buy price, with an MF of 0.22 (i hope), or wait for the lease incentive (if one is coming up) ? 3. I figure that if I lease, and invest the $10k to $20k I was going to put down if I were to purchase, I would make enough to cover the ~ $2k difference between lease vs buy. This way, I have the option to return the car for any unforseen reason, or buy it after 3 years. What do you think ?   This is a great board. Thanks all for their comments !   BK

Is this a good price ?   $500 over invoice with the rebate?! He's killing you. It'd save you $1500 to simply buy the car from a socal dealer and have them ship it to you for $300-400 bucks. Or fly out to socal and drive it back yourself.   2. My plan is to lease the car for 3 years. So is it better to lease at the current buy price, with an MF of 0.22 (i hope), or wait for the lease incentive (if one is coming up) ?   Buy price will probably be better. But then again BMW sometimes offers MF at or below 12. Use leaseguide and run the numbers both ways.   3. I figure that if I lease, and invest the $10k to $20k I was going to put down if I were to purchase, I would make enough to cover the ~ $2k difference between lease vs buy. This way, I have the option to return the car for any unforseen reason, or buy it after 3 years. What do you think ?   Crunch the numbers. I did with my BMW purchase and discovered my lease with a 3 year loan afterward at 6.5% was cheaper than buying the 330i outright over 60 months at 2.9%.

Replying to: blueguydotcom (Jun 24, 2004 9:23 am) My mistake !   The price is $500 over invoice, less $2400. So actually, it is $1500 less than invoice !   Thanks, BK

i talked to several dallas area dealerships this week re: bmw330i w/PP,xenon,auto msrp 41,615 invoice roughly 38,200   despite the june incentive of $2400, i could not get the low, low price i wanted. i tried to get $1000-1500 below invoice. they just shook their heads. the best offer i got was for $650 under invoice.

It varies according to local competition and area of the country.. Here, you couldn't get a $1000 over cost deal if you were buying from your mother.. But, head up the road a couple hours, and that is doable.... $1700 over cost is not a terrible price on a $40K car, it just seems excessive when compared to the more competitive regions.. (socal, for instance).   Assuming the new lease incentives are a wash, compared to the current cash incentives, then the deal won't get any worse or better next month.. If they want $1700 over cost now, they'll want $1700 over cost then also..   scsnospam.. That is a pretty strong offer.. I doubt with that low of a cap cost now, that the lease deal could be much better next month, without the cash incentive.   penn5.. There is some dealer in Texas advertising great deals.. I'll look around and get back to you..   regards, kyfdx

Replying to: vancmt (Jun 23, 2004 9:46 pm) Thanks for the feedback around the incentive deadline. Still trying to get a sense of what is reasonable for a 4 dr 325i Titanium Silver/Sand leatherette with either:   Choice #1 Automatic, sunroof, power seats, rear side impact bag   Choice #2 Automatic, premium package, rear side impact bag   Looking to close the deal by June 30th, so any guidance would be appreciated

Got MSRP's for the those two cars? And have you found them in stock? I was thinking rear side impact airbags might be a rare option...
