| I am looking to purchase a 2006 325 xi, auto, PP. What kind of discount can I expect to get in the midwest? There is only one BMW dealership in Omaha and I am willing to drive to Minneapolis, Chicago, Denver or KC area if I can get a better deal. I saw quite a few 325 xi's at the DeMoines, IA dealer website. Would it be more difficult to negotiate on an XI since it is still winter? | |

Replying to: wifeiscarsick (Jan 23, 2006 5:05 pm) $30,345. 25,645 - base price munich pickup 1210 - 6 Speed Steptronic 430 - metallic paint 910 - Cold Weather Package 1455 - Sport Package 695 - Shipping Offer the dealership $800-1200 over that price as their profit. You're looking at $31,500 at the worst. Don't go by those bogus ED prices on the BMWUSA website. |

If anyone has some input on this lease, let me know if this is a good deal. Value of Car - $40,495.00 / Term - 3 Years / Mileage - 12,000/year / Cash out of pocket - $5,000.00 / Residual - 64% / MF - .00305 / Payment - $542/month Also, is Active Steering worth it? I have heard good and bad, but what is the skinny on this?  Please advise. ThanX Max |

Replying to: maxdiesel (Jan 23, 2006 11:55 pm) You gave us the MSRP of the car but what is your negotiated price? Always negotiate the price of a car before ever discussing payment options and trade-ins. And that MF is very high. Active steering is a gimmick. Go with normal and save yourself some dough and future headaches with a technology that should not even be implemented on cars.

I'm sort of reposting an earlier post since I havent gotten any responses. So, I'm interested in leasing a 330i before my current car lease comes due (Feb. 20th). I believe the current money factor and residual for a 330i with 10k mi/yr is .00195 and 65%, respectively. Do you guys think the MF will go up or the residual will go down for the month of Feb.? If so, this would make leasing more expensive and it would probably be better to make a deal in January. Does my logic sound correct? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I am turning in my 03 BMW 325i in 3 weeks for lease end. First of all, I am 21,000 miles over my limit at 20 cents a mile. Also, I have body damage to the car. I estimate the damage to be at about 3500. My buyout price is 19,500. I have been racking my brain for a while now and dont know what to do. Do i turn it in and reap the damages, or is that just plain stupid? Do i buy the car, then trade it in on a new one? Should i fix the damages before i trade it in if i buy it? Help!
