Replying to: leo11 (Apr 15, 2006 8:36 pm) 1) Not sure how they calculate lease tax in Cincinnati (even though I live near there), but I think it is paid upfront.. Since you live in Texas, it is possible that you will have to pay tax on the entire value of the car (or BMWFS will) when you register it. The guys at Swapalease are very experienced, and should have this information available. If they don't, BMWFS will surely know. 2) The transfer fees (to BMWFS) are $450.. That is a great offer.... but, I wouldn't have the car shipped.. You can probably fly one-way to Cincinnati for $200.. That way, you see what you are getting, and you don't have to deal with the "what-ifs" of a shipping company. 3) There shouldn't be any other fees, other than what Swapalease might charge you to sign up. 4) The NAV should work anywhere in the 48 states... Regards, kyfdx |

I was quoted $800 over invoice on Sat from a dealer in New England. Car was as follows: 330/sport/prem/metalic paint/heatedseats I was told retail is $42070. My cost is $39,801. Dealer doc fee is $45. The lease rate for 3 year with no money down is $476 +state tax. This was calculated using a MF of .00195. Residual is 65% The lease rate for 24 month is $517+state tax. This was calculated using a MF of .00220 Residual is 74% I typically do approx 5K miles a year. The best interest rate interest rate I have seen fora 60 month term is approx 5.75%. Any thoughts would be much appriciated. My current lease ends in two months Thanks, Jay

Replying to: jaydoll (Apr 16, 2006 8:41 am) How do you reconcile only putting 15K miles on your car over three years, with the amount you are paying to lease it? It seems that you'd be better off getting a 72 month loan, and selling at the four year mark with only 20K miles on your car... Your payment would still be higher than the lease, but you'd probably have a lot of positive equity at that point... Plus you'd still have warranty and free maintenance for the entire period.. Just my $0.02 kyfdx

Replying to: dl7265 (Apr 16, 2006 8:56 pm)   I was surprise to see that the 06 3 series are not holding their value as predicted. I have seen the same car with the same options at Car Max selling for under $35k with about the same miles. Obviously this car did not stay on the lot for long because it was a good deal. This means the trade in is very low for the 06 3 series.  Edmunds just recently posted their car appraisal for the 06 3 series (click link below). Hopefully my 05 545i does not lose too much vale since the introduction of the 06 and 07 550i. Edmunds 2006 3 series appraisal |
