#6453 of 10325 Re: Which deal would you choose? [daveyboy] by paultxrn Apr 23, 2006 (8:36 am)
Replying to: daveyboy (Apr 23, 2006 4:31 am) That sounds like good advice, except that i'm having trouble locating a 330i with those options. There seems to be a lack of inventory in my area. My current leased vehicle has to be turned in by May 7th, so i have a deadline to meet. I'll see what I can find and compare the numbers.

Replying to: paultxrn (Apr 23, 2006 8:36 am) you can always order a car and extend your lease for a month or two
#6455 of 10325 Re: HOW DO I PULL VALUE OUT OF MY LEASE??? [kyfdx] by evoic Apr 23, 2006 (7:24 pm)
Replying to: kyfdx (Apr 23, 2006 7:43 am) I didn't mention only 30k miles, M racing wheels, Factory Alarm, and a handful of other goodies that add to the final price. What I think I REALLY need to know is that if I dump it for $26-$27k to a private buyer, how bad am I going to get hit with fees that I don't know about?? I live in California and I'm not exactly sure about what the rules are for taxes on a sale like that.

Replying to: paultxrn (Apr 23, 2006 8:36 am) BMWFS will extend the lease for two months at the old rate with no questions asked. If you have a car on order they will extend it up to 6 months. So you should do a European delivery and get a nice discount on the car without having to worry about turning it in. Replies to this message: paultxrn (Apr 24, 2006 8:48 am)

Someone suggested looking at the 330XI instead of the 325XI because the money factor was lower. They were right!   I was able to get the payment down from $635 to $623 just by switching to the 330XI.

Replying to: vsaxena (Apr 23, 2006 10:17 pm) I'm sorry I was not clear.....i do not currently lease a BMW. I am leasing a Lexus.

Replying to: paultxrn (Apr 23, 2006 8:36 am) Have you asked the dealer whether they can locate a car for you at another dealer or even circumvent one already coming in at the port (even if its outside of your geographic)? If they are successful doing this, ETA is less than two weeks. Replies to this message: paultxrn (Apr 24, 2006 2:00 pm) flbmw (Apr 26, 2006 7:58 am) kyfdx (Apr 26, 2006 3:44 pm)
#6460 of 10325 330i Sedan- Is this a good purchase price? by wayne6 Apr 24, 2006 (12:05 pm)
I'm in the process of negotiating with several dealers in the L.A. area. I'm looking for a sedan with mystic blue, premium and sport packages, comfort access, fold down rear seats, steptronic and pre-wiring for satellite. MSRP is $43,420; Invoice is $39,800.   In addition, I want to add the spoiler which is listed as an accessory. MSRP is $365 w/o install.   One dealer claims that an OTD price, giving the dealer only $800 profit is $45,811. Think it's $45,153 per my math: $39,800 - Edmunds Invoice on my deal (excluded spoiler)     400 - spoiler (painted and installed per dealer)     800 - Dealer profit $41,000 X 1.0825 - Sales tax $44,382.50     385 - MACO (Dealer claims he has to charge) $44,767.50     386 - CA DMV Registration $45,153.50 -OTD      Is the dealer blowing smoke? Is $45,811 a good deal? How much fat is still in the deal? Any advice is welcome.

Replying to: flbmw (Apr 24, 2006 11:41 am) I been working with dealers both in and out of state. In fact I had a very nice offer from Shreveport, LA at $500 over invoice, and now he can't find me the car I wanted. Replies to this message: flbmw (Apr 26, 2006 7:58 am) kyfdx (Apr 26, 2006 3:44 pm)
#6462 of 10325 Re: Lease Closing Experience [kyfdx] by raln48 Apr 24, 2006 (6:30 pm)
Replying to: kyfdx (Apr 22, 2006 10:36 am) I met with the sales manager of the dealship this morning. He wasn't defensive and quickly sought to resolve the concern. He initially offered to reimburse me based on allowing me .20-cents per mile for 41 miles per day times the 8 days that the contract was back-dated. The 41 miles per day was based on 15k miles per year covered in the lease. This would have given me about $65. I conveyed that I would be satisfied if he settled at ($575/30)*8 -- or $153. He agreed to this saying that it made better sense. The dealership cut a check for that amount. The entire discussion was direct and cordial on both sides. He ended up keeping a customer happy, and I ended up with a fair resolution.   kyfdx -- thanks for your advice and help. The advice and information on this forum helped me save an additional $1,500 on the overall lease transaction; beyond what I could have negotiated on my own. In conjunction with that, the facts provided here served to instill a sense of confidence in my approach with the dealership -- and that helped me avoid the typical nonsense that one usually experiences when dealing on a new car.   Many thanks. raln48   PS: I confirmed the .00195 MF.
