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 |

Looking for help dealing on a 325ci. Car is 2004 325ci with 13,800 miles on it, white with black top in MD. Was an executive lease now being sold CPO by the dealer. Car has: Premium pkg Sports Pkg Cold weather Pkg Leather seats Xenon headlights HK audio Park dist control Read air bags Brushed aluminum interior Mfg warranty ends in 2 yrs Car offered at $39,000. Price lower than Edmunds lists. How much lower might the dlr go with this?

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 |

kyfdx - if you're available to reply, I could use your help again. The new 330xi that I ordered about 6 weeks ago will be arriving at the dealership for delivery this week. I would like to confirm whether or not there have been any changes in the BMWFS lease specs that could influence my deal at final closing. Here's what was negotiated with the dealer 6 weeks ago: 3yr/45K lease Residual 61% Base money factor .00225 $625 acquisition fee Has any of the above changed one way or the other? Thanks again for all of your help. raln48

Replying to: raln48 (Apr 01, 2006 8:05 am) invoice (even lower #s than edmunds') + 1000 (this could have been negotiated further- I would estimate by another 300-500) .00195 3 yr/45K Base money factor .00195 62% resid. These are 4/1/06 new updated numbers. Good luck. ak

Replying to: ak432 (Apr 01, 2006 3:16 pm) My sense is that the 330xi will have a different money factor. I'm still hoping for confirmation on this from kyfdx. Thanks again.

Replying to: omrster (Mar 31, 2006 6:05 pm) www.centurywestbmw.com I just bought a CPO 2005 325ci last Fri. w/ 9800 miles on it(1 yr lease return) for $30850 before tax and fees. Your price is definitely too high. You can check many other BMW dealerships in LA. I think for 2004 325ci CPO the price is around $28000 and $30000. |

Replying to: lahermano (Mar 29, 2006 7:15 pm) http://www.bmwpeabody.com/sales/newcars/car.php?id=3393 at the dealer. Exactly the combination that i wanted. 1. First look of the car itself turned me off. Looked old, No sticker on the car. 378 miles on it, it was dirty interior and exterior as well. 2. They wanted to push me buy the car. But i didnot even feel like talking any numbers and walked out from there. 3. Got the exact invoice date 11/5/2005 on demanding. This car was sitting outside in the lot all the while and used as a loaner car. Another dealer close to home, looked to find the similar car for me and itseems he found and told me that it is coming from germany to a dealer in NJ and he said he is going to get it for me this thursday. I just want to make sure that he is not getting this same old car, detailed very well as new. Hope not!. Though i can demand the invoice date ? and check the mileage as well. Can they manipulate any of these ? because other dealers couldn't find this combo anywhere and suggested me to order and wondering how this guy could get me one. If it was new it must have 0 miles definetly right. Well, I am getting crazy searching and several thoughts coming to my mind. I told the dealer, i need to see the car then only anything to be talked. I am just wondering if i can negotiatiate the same good deal that i got before, because the dealer is at a good advantage as he has my car and knows my desperation. I have the following things bothering me how to handle. 1. Should i just be upfront and tell about my good deal or ask him to offer the best he can and then tell my deal. 2. What are the financing rates for BMW now ? i am getting around 7.5 % from my bank, The dealer keeps asking me what is the best i got that he need to match. Should i tell him openly. 3. The CAR specs are 325XI + gray Leather + metallic + sat prep + heated seats = $37250 The best deal non-leather i got was $33140 + 249 Doc + 5% tax + $85 reg How can i negotiate the same deal with + leather $1450 The negotiation begins on friday. All responses are greatly appreciated. Thanks for sharing, yaa all are of great help
