First time thinking on Leasing 335i in SoCal with Premium, Sport, Navi, Steptronic Option.
 
Deal information:
Sale price : $45365
DownPayment : $1800
Term & Mileasge : 36, 15000.
  
Monthly payment : $670 after taxes,
Residueal 61%,
Money Factor : 1.9000
Residual value : $28910.
 
1) Please advice whether this is a good deal since I dont have experience in leasing dont know nitty grites behind it.
 
2) Is it possible to get around $550 monthly payment with better buy out option.
 
3) Would it be recommended to lease this 335i Vs buying keep the cost. May be at the end of the term if things goes well, I may buy it, right now, it appears to big of $ to go after buying it.
 
4) Please provide me your expert opinions, seriously looking to get it very soon.
 
Thanks, VR

Hello, I am intrested in this car I saw at the Acura dealership I go to for service . The specs are below. Any advise on how much I should offer? I also requested the carfax report from the dealer because I feel their price is on the low side for this car...something might be up with it. Thanks in advance.
 
Bodystyle: 4 door Sedan
Engine: 2.5L I-6cyl
Transmission: Automatic
Ext. Color: Blue
Int. Color: Parchment Leather
Mileage: 17,992
Internet Price: $23,995
 
How would I know if it has a sports package? Should I buy an extended warranty? If so, from where?

arache97-
 
Depending on where you live, I would say that the price being offered is pretty much on par with what I would expect (not a tremendous deal by any means where I'm at). Also, be careful because non-BMW dealerships will often market a vehicle as having leather when it actually has leatherette.
 
The Sport package is easily identified by the unique seats, a different steering wheel, and (in most cases) lowered suspension.
 
You are definitely going to want the extended warranty, as even though this vehicle has low miles, even easy fixes cost a boatload on a Beemer.
 
Hope this helps.

Thanks Vonrauss. I'm in NYC. I'm getting the carfax report as we speak so I'll see it's history. I saw the car yesterday and believe it has leatherette. Does that matter?
 
Also do you suggest I buy an extended warranty from them or can I go to a BMW dealership and purchase on from them?
 
Thanks

Well, if it has leatherette (and no premium package), then I'm guessing that you can get them to come down a little bit in that price. I'm not 100% familiar with the market in NY, but out here in SoCal the BMW market is very saturated and you could probably get a car like this for somewhere between 22k and 23k.
 
As for where to get the warranty, I'm not exactly sure. But I know if you call your local BMW dealership they should be able to give you a nice recommendation.

335i sedan lease by btsichen

Just leased a Monaco Blue 335i sedan, steptronic, premium, heated seats, Sirius radio from United BMW in Roswell.
 
MSRP $44,690
Cap $42,441
36mo /15k
MF .00165
residual 26,270 (61%)
 
I rolled the aquisition fee in to the cap cost ($625), negotiated the doc fees, etc. into the negotiated price, and added .00015 to the MF instead of paying a security deposit.
 
Due at signing was first month payment of $566.81 + tax and tags.
 
The internet CA was very responsive and all negotiating was done on email over two days. Initially, they quoted a MF of .0019 and an aquisition fee of $825, both of which the CA conceded was just added dealer profit.
 
This was my first lease and BMW. Overall, it was a smooth and low stress process, mainly because after reading this board, I felt informed re: current pricing, rates, and the leasing process. Thanks to the people and moderators on this board for the help.
