Gentlemen - Family member called me because he is about to lease a 2006 330xi. I asked him for the terms but I have been unable to make the numbers work. I suspect the dealer modified some of the numbers before giving him the "best" offer on a lease payment. Can you help me evaluate this deal? Here is what I know: 2006 330xi with premium pkg + satellite radio (that's it) 27 month lease with 15,000 miles MSRP $41,995 Residual 71% Money factor .00195 $2500 cap cost reduction and $4900 out the door (he knows it does not make sense to put a lot of mopney down but he needs to have a low monthly payment) Monthly payment $419 (down from the dealer's original number of $469) What do you think? Any thoughts would be appreciated. |

| Here's the deal I made from Nick Alexander: mystic blue; Steptronic; grey interior; popular trim; comfort access; premium and sport packages; satellite wiring, only; fold down seats and rear spoiler (accessory). MSRP 43,815. Invoice around $41,560. OTD was $45,600 w/ flat bed pick up and loaner for maintenance. Good deal? | |

Replying to: bogmancometh (Apr 29, 2006 7:51 pm) This car is not a rare combo, every one has in-stock. you can get a sweet deal at invoice price + MACO $350 + TRAINING Service Fees $180. If it is at the end of month even better you could even get mats and wheel locks. I made a deal but decide not to buy because the interior is black leatherette, which i hate hate hate. The only complaints i have with BMW is their poor choice of interior colors and bad interior. After paying somuch for the vehicle one must pay to get leather huh! Why in the hell, they think people love black as default. i can deal with exterior black but not interior. Every other car they have in stock is a black leatherette. If leather got to pay another $1000+. I AM VERY POPULAR AND BLACK LISTED WITH MA BMW DEALERS  HTH all the best for u'r purchase |

After much deliberation (it took me two years to buy my previous car, an A4, in 1998), I bought yesterday (on order) a 325i manual, with sport, leather, power seats, cold weather, xenon lights, and metallic paint (arctic), for $34,745 (invoice) plus 1 percent, or $35,092.45. The car is on order, and should arrive in mid June. An interesting part of the negotiation was that I originally wanted to lease, after negotiating the price, but the dealer would not budge on a marked-up money factor (0035, I think). They said they needed to make money somewhere. So I bought the car. They wanted to finance at 6.99, but I can do better, I believe, so I declined that too. I guess a few lessons were learned. It paid to negotiate over the net. Many dealers refused to put anything in writing, instead wanting to speak over the phone, but I prefered to do it via email. Getting a good price on the car may not lead to a great lease price, because the dealer may want to mark up the rates. I believe the price I got was good, another dealer in Northern Virginia told me they could not come close, and to buy the car at the 1% over price. Let's hope all works out well. Cheers!
