Please try to stay on topic here. May want to also try the Sedans or BMW-3 owners club. Thanks

Replying to: kyfdx (Jun 28, 2004 6:35 pm) "Through June 30th (Wednesday), there is a $2400 manufacturer to dealer incentive on the 330xi. After that, it will be replaced with lease incentives."   kyfdx: Are you aware of what those incentives may be? I am receiving a 330Ci on Wendsday in time for the current $2400 incentive, but I am leasing. Would it be advantagous to let the dealer slide a day and pick up the next lease incentive?

No one knows until they happen... It would have to be a really big lease incentive to make up for $2400.   If it were the 325i, with the $1200 incentive, it might be worth taking a chance... but, if you have a good price, I wouldn't chance the $2400.   regards, kyfdx

That $2400 is worth about $72/month on a lease.. so, you can see how big the lease incentive would have to be...   regards, kyfdx Replies to this message: 5150 (Jun 29, 2004 3:59 pm) kyfdx (Jun 30, 2004 5:20 am)

Replying to: kyfdx (Jun 29, 2004 11:30 am) With this $2400 incentive is this the best time to buy 330i or are these incentives common at this time of year? Based on your past experience, do you think they'll have such a large incentive in December and also for the 2005 model next year (June '05) just before the next generation style is starting to roll out?   Thanks in advance for your reply.

Last year the incentives went higher by september/october. but pickings wee slim. especially for the 330i as far fewer are produced than the more common 325i.   If you want the car now, then go for it if 1k or so is worth a summer driving it.

Replying to: 5150 (Jun 29, 2004 3:59 pm) Last year, the 325i incentives hit $2K in October or November and the 330i incentives were either $2500 or $3K (memory fails me). BUT, when I went shopping in late November, each of the two local dealers only had 3-4 cars each.. With the myriad options and colors available on a 3-series, finding something you want with only that selection is almost impossible (it was impossible.. I bought a used one in December).   Although BMW does a lot of lease incentive programs, last year was the first time I can recall them having substantial dealer cash incentives.. I wouldn't bet on them in the future.. If I was interested in a 330i, I would be trying to close a deal today.   If you think you might lease, good deals seem to peak in March, and that goes for most manufacturers.   regards, kyfdx (putting my crystal ball away)

Just to clarify, it seemed to me that smug was right about his prices, because he's getting a coupe, not a sedan (see post #1503). Looks like you were pricing the sedan and getting lower numbers than him because of it. I'm not sure if it affects your recommendations to him or not.   smug - how's the shopping going? Have you gotten it yet? Replies to this message: smug01 (Jun 30, 2004 3:33 pm) chrono (Jul 01, 2004 9:30 am) rothsran (Jul 01, 2004 9:35 am) and 11 more... smug01 (Jul 09, 2004 9:02 am)
