You have to have a specific car on order or on the way to lock in the rates.. You can't just lock in the current lease program by applying on-line.

well Martin. I have to let you know it was certainly very nice reading your compliment calling me brillant.. what a great way to start the week. lol. Thank you!
 
Anyway, I am not certain if you can lock in rates just by filling out a credit app. I really think an order and dep. has to be placed for a new BMW. I could very well be wrong, so I will defer to others more knowledgeable here.
 
As it happens I filled out my credit app on line after I had to come to an agreement with the dealer on the BMW I wanted and the pricing. I just filled out a credit app on the BMW website after I built the exact same car and chose the dealership tp send it to that I had been dealing with..and the only reason I filled a credit application on-line is because I did not want to fax my info to the dealer -- just an added layer of security for me. I am including a copy of the approval letter from BMWFS and you will notice it has an approval with an expiration date but no mention of rate..so indeed, I do think it is worthwhile for you to make a call to BMWFS and confirm if by just filling a credit app that it locks in you rate..
 
and what's ths about Mercedes? Do yourself a favor and just get a Bimmer and never look back..BMW's are so much more fun than MBZ imho. Let all the other MBZ's on the road just look at your taillights and pull over to the right as you pass them by.
 
all that said I bet rates for May will remain the same at 1.40 and June they will lower probably to 1.25 again... just guessing..but as the model year is half over and summer begins most car manufacturers get quite competitive for your automotive dollar.
 
Anyway here is the approval letter. I deleted the dealership info that it was sent to me and showed a different approval number for this posting. Everything else is correct though.

If you want to help others I guess it would also be good to list the actual dealer.

Advice? by jen1122

I am looking to buy a 2007 BMW 328i sedan. The only option I have to have is automatic transmission. I came to this site looking for pricing and found that almost everyone seems to be leasing. Currently I am still driving my car from college that is paid for, so this is the first time I will be buying (or possibly leasing) a car, and I'm terrified.
 
Initially, I planned on making a large down payment and then financing the rest, but I could possibly pay cash. I do plan to keep the car for a while. Any advice on the best way to finance would be greatly appreciated, as I don't want to get ripped off.

I also have always found out just enough about leasing to end up confused. I have never pursued finding out more since, the one consistent thing I have heard is that if you get attached to cars and like keeping them a while (like I do), leasing is NOT the way to go. It really seems set up for someone who either has not much money to put down (or no desire to put down much) and turn over cars every couple of years.
