Why is the tax being $1600? Do you mean the tax $1095 + $500 Security Deposit = $1600? I don't get it. If that is the case, it translates to:
  MSRP: 42416
  Deposit: 500
  RV%=61%
  MF=0.0019
  Assume Tax%=0.775
  Then Net CAP Cost would be 41016
  Base on this calculation, I got approximately $532/mon.
  Am I calculating it right?
 
I think it's average. Maybe you can get the dealer to knock down another $10 a month.

Passport has the best reputation in the area for customer service. I hear pretty decent things about BMW of Sterling, too. Email me at qst_nyahoo.com and I'll be happy to give you the name of the guy I deal with at Passport. Highly recommend him, but I think that forum rules prevent me from publicizing his name.

Lease on 07 328i. Did I do okay? by bellyncr4

Well this was a first time lease experience for me, and I must admit I think I could have a read a little more before going in (i.e. the MF), but let me know if you guys think this was fair or not so I can learn for next time -
 
2007 328i sedan w/ Premium Package
12,000 miles, 27mth lease
MSRP 37,600
Residual - 73% (~$28k)
I didn't want to put "extra" money "down" on it so I only put for 1st month and license fees - $1,100, $179.98 of which they put towards cap. cost reduction
MF - 0.0019
Payment no tax - $520.02, w/tax - $560.32
 
Looking forward to the feedback. I love these forums!

Lock in lease last week of Jan. or wait until March? by brifromdc
Jan 24, 2007 (5:20 pm)

My current lease expires 3/31/07. The BMW sale manager said I should lock in now to take advantage of the higher residual I'll get now vs. March. He said it will take 6-8 weeks to track down the exact car I want. I can start my new lease in the last week of March. Does this approach make sense or should I wait until March to negotiate and lock in? Thanks

Lock it now... with the option of switching to the March program, if it is better..
 
No cost to the dealer to do this, but make sure they agree to it, upfront..

Thanks for the replies from geezcar and jtla. The $3000 is the out the door price which includes the 1st payment as well. And I only need to pay $518(after-tax) for 23 months. I hope this information would be good enough for saying whether this is a good deal or not. Thanks guys!!

There are still unknown variables, but we can try again.
 
After subtracting one-month security deposit, 1st month payment, and DMV fees from your $3,000 out-the-door price, there is probably $1,500 left to apply to cap cost reduction. Using .0015 MF, 73% residual, and factor in $625 acquisition fee, a selling price of approx. $41,300 will get you the $518 monthly payment. So, it looks like you are getting about $1,500 off MSRP, which is not bad, IMHO.
 
As you can see, we are doing it backward. In fact, you should negotiate the selling price first, then plug the numbers into a lease calculator to get the payment amount. Good luck.

Well, this is similar to my last post in replying to tom335, we have to do the math backward. I will spare you with all the details. The bad news is, it would seem to me that you may be paying MSRP. The comforting part is, since you must have signed the lease during the year-end promotion of the 27-month lease, you payment is equivalent to $1,000 off MSRP if you were doing the regular 24-month lease. Keep in mind that Leasing is only one method of financing your car. Always negotiate the selling price of the car first.

Hi, i've been reading these forums for a while, and haven't had time to post until now.
 
My question is do any of you think it's possible to get a base 2007 coupe or sedan (w/auto) for the December lease special of $349/$329 respectively? I believe I missed out on the boat of good deals, but would like to know if a deal in this range is still possible?
 
I've had my current 325i for 2 years, but love the new coupes....thanks for any input in advance!
