I bought a 330i in 2001, paid for half in cash. In 2003, I sold the car to a dealer, pulled $10k cash out of the car, and rolled $4500 into a 3yr lease for an identical version of the car. (Sport/Premium, Leather, Blk/Blk, Auto, Xenon, HK sound) Now - in 2 months, my lease for this car is up. My car "blue books" for about $33k retail, $28,250 private, and $25,400 trade-in value. I currently owe $24,700 after the payment I make in 3 days. Here's the dilemma. I am paying $465 monthly and I do not want my payment to go up, but I only have $1,000 cash to spend on a lease. (instead of $4,500 that I rolled into it last time) I am willing to leave the premium package off of the next 330i that I get, which will save me $2,200 retail. Without the dealership GIVING ME MONEY for the lease that I am turning into them on June 28th, I don't think that there is any way that I can get the deal I want. How does one go about negotiating some kind of value out of a car that they have to release in 2 months anyway?? Should I just sell it? I'd dump it for $27,500 if I knew I could find a buyer quickly, but I don't know how easy that would be and if it's worth it anyways. Any ideas here? Thank you!

Second I Just picked up my 330xi which was equipped as follows: premium cold weather auto navigation My MSRP was about $45500 and my lease deal is this: 560/month for 27 months. 15k, no money down, taxes in the payment(8.625%). Just first month and bank fee up front. I think you are getting a terrible deal. for the 36 month leases the 330i has a lower mf and hgiher residual than the 325 and it comes with more equipment. Go with that.

Replying to: evoic (Apr 22, 2006 4:29 pm) If you put $4500 down to get a $465/mo. payment three years ago, it seems doubtful you could get the same payment with only $1000 down in 2006. That works out to about $100/mo. less.. I don't think cars are getting any cheaper, and there really aren't any extra lease incentives on the 3-series right now.. regards, kyfdx Host-Prices Paid Forums
