Continuing to charge an inflated acquisition fee on the basis of offsetting a liability that no longer exists could well leave the same institutions exposed to class actions.

Replying to: davidd3 (Aug 09, 2005 6:57 am) I don't think you need to go to "deadicated" snowies for the winter. The Nokian is an "all-season" that is also rated with the mountain/snowflake symbol - with that symbol I can get over Donner Pass (the Sierra) without snow chains when they have chain control in effect (Oh, and I have AWD, of course - I'd need chains if I only had FWD) A "deadicated" snow tire will be lousy, noisy, harsh when you are back in the flatland, whereas an all-season with mountain/snowflake will be reasonable even when conditions are dry. Of course, if you live wayyyy upstate, maybe you don't get many clear roads from December through March I purchased my Nokians from someone other than Tire Rack, but they made me an equally good deal. I've used Tire Rack and they were fune, but they weren't carrying the Nokians. http://www.nokiantires.com/newsite/index.html Also, there is good info in these forums about snow and ice tires: kjemison, "Snow/Ice winter tires" #404, 3 Mar 2005 4:47 pm |

Why is it that there's a big difference between lease estimates offered by dealers vs online calculators? I've been in contact with multiple dealers regarding a lease of a 2003 330i and most of them seem to be in line; however, using the same figures, online calculators show the monthly payment to be lower by $100 in most cases. Do dealers including hidden costs or are the online calculators missing something? Anyone know of a realistic online calculator that I can use? |

Replying to: mcmuney (Aug 10, 2005 3:45 pm) It produced the exact same results as the dealer. If you are paying the taxes up-front, just include that figure in the "Costs Added to Lease" column, then put in a figure of 0% in the state taxes area.

I wanted to see if anyone has had good or bad experiences with carsdirect. I am torn between carsdirect who offers a higher residual (0.63 vs. 0.61 from dealer) and a lower money factor (0.0026 vs. 0.0029 from dealer) but a higher sales price of the car (2000 over invoice vs 1000 from dealer). This is for a 2006 325i Premium, Sport, Nav, Automatic, Xenon, lease for 36 months and 15K miles/year. Maybe I am completely off and should negotiate more from the dealer? The four dealers I have dealt with in the San Diego area have all held steady on the numbers. I would appreciate any comments.
