Replying to: mattr82 (Mar 29, 2006 9:53 am) thanks for answering. I think i am not clear of what i really want at this moment. Just because i was in need of a car ,(after my totalled car), I guess i am in a rush to get one and was considering the dealer stock. which i realize is a bad thing and i guess i need to learn a bit more and do some more research. You seem to have more experience with BMW. please clarify my concerns if you can. Well This is a huge investment/spending i guess first time. It is not that i cannot afford, i make good income but still little scared/chills cause i owned new Honda civic 1997 (loaned $13k and paid rest d/w). I see Matt mentioning about recouping value ? How is the resale value if i ever have to ? 1 yr/2yr/3yr's time. In general i am a type of person who keeps car for a long term (just as example of my previous car Honda for 8 yrs). So i also want to make a right choice, so that i am happy for the coming years. Give me some boost folks. pros and cons of owning a BMW. I am 30 yrs old. How long it takes if one orders by choice of exterior/interior and personalize etc.,

I live in southern california, so I dont' know if it's my area, but so far, 3 out of the 4 dealerships I've spoken to via email or over the phone have IMMEDIATELY given me an offer close to what I would consider optimum. Basically, on a 330i with sport and auto, they are quoting me 1100-1200 over invoice right off the bat with a MF of .00195, with no down and drive off of 1500...and so far, no surprises. I know I can probably negotiate another hundred bucks here and there, but for someone who's had to deal with a LOT of bs when it came to buying a car, I have to say this is somewhat surprising. I'm going to a dealer tomorrow to hopefully close. Is there anything I should watch out for before I sign? I'm getting the alarm and acq fee rolled into the cap and I'm hoping to snag free floor mats in the process. For now, it seems like everything is cut and dry. But, like I said...it's almost TOO easy to the point where I'm wary. Should I be?

Replying to: edward23 (Mar 31, 2006 12:31 am) Check their prices against the invoice prices here on Edmunds... And, get all of those prices in actual dollars.. "$1100 over invoice" is a nebulous number that could turn out to be almost anything... And.. they can say the MF is .00195, but that number won't appear on your lease paperwork.. Make sure that the final monthly payment reflects those numbers.. I'm not surprised you found good deals right away... SoCal is a very competitive market... Just make sure it all adds up.. On another note... I wouldn't pay extra for the alarm.. Unless you plan on running outdoors to confront a car thief.. The car is leased.. if they steal it, let the insurance take care of it.. regards, kyfdx |

Hi there, I have a few lease questions: 1. How to you determine/negotiate the selling price on a lease? Pretty much the same as you buy a car? 2. If there is incentive from BMW (like we have seen in the last couple years of E46 model), does it apply to lease as well or just for purchasing? 3. Is MSD an uncommon practice for most dealers? 4. Is there any limitation on MSD, such as how low you can knock down the MF? Thanks.

Replying to: 330blast (Mar 31, 2006 10:48 pm) 2) It can vary... sometimes the lease has a different set of incentives, but in the past.. since the incentive is to the dealer, not the consumer, it applies equally.. Ergo, you have to negotiate it into your selling price. 3) The program wasn't very good for the last couple of years.. it has recently been enhanced. Depending on the dealer, they may not have much experience with it. 4) 7 extra deposits, with a reduction of .00007 for each one, resulting in a total reduction of .00049 for each one.. regards, kyfdx |
