Replying to: abarr566 (Jan 19, 2007 10:35 pm) Dealers need to make a profit on reselling the trades they take in. The profit should be reasonable, the definition of which may depend on how you value those tasks mentioned above. I heard most dealers make more money from used-car sales, financing, and services than from selling new cars. The way to avoid being ripped off on the trade-in is doing your homework, and negotiating like you would on the price of your new car. Get an idea of the value of your trade from Kelly Blue Book's website, check on autotraders.com, local newspaper, eBay, etc. Set a price range which you would accept. And be willing to walk off the door if the price you are offered for your trade is below that range. Doing homework on the value of your trade may be more important than doing homework on the new car prices. In most markets, dealers face competitions selling new cars. But for the trade-in, their only competition at that moment is YOU. Don't give back to the dealer the money you just saved through negotiating a great price on the new car. |

Replying to: bmwpanic (Jan 12, 2007 7:39 pm) After posting my lease deal on here several people said it was bad. A competitive dealer offered me a much lower price and my current dealer matched it. Reserving a car with some cash locks the car for you but doesnt neccesarilly lock the terms so in the end: 328i w/ automatic, heated and power seats. everything else standard. MSRP:$35865 Term:36 month lease Mileage: 12k/year MF=.00190 Down Payment: $2,500 Monthly Payment: $399 per month including 6% tax and aq fee good luck!

Hi - getting ready to start negotiating for a 2007 328i. Can anyone share some quotes or prices paid for that car. Also, let me know what dealer you used - Fairfax, Passport or VOB. Thanks

| I read an article on LeaseWise recently - for $330 they get you 5 lease bids from local dealers. Has anyone had experience with this group or another similar type of service? They say it is much better than the free quotes you can get. Thanks | |

Replying to: misterep (Jan 23, 2007 12:02 pm) Which value above is not correct? Dealer also mentioned extra 6 security deposit which can bring down MF by 0.00007*6 = 0.00042 and decrease monthly payment by around 23 bucks. Do you mean this? Please comment and I really appreciate it.
