Excellent idea on the tire rack thing. I'll also call my local tire shop, who I've done business with for the past dozen or so years, and see what they have available.
 
By the way, I tried to leverage the price and now it's down to $25,900. What do you think?

I don't think that's a terrible price; still, I'd still hold out for 25K, but that's just me...

2008 BMW 3-Series 4dr Sdn 328i good deal? by golfnff

Hello, newbie to the forum (first post). Looking at possibly leasing a 328i and basically got quoted the current lease offers off of the bmw website. Also offered me a 2008 4dr Sdn 328i that is fully loaded with all options except navigation (premium, sport, xenon, etc....) Gave me a vehicle price of 41,845.00 and added 189.00 for floor mats and 495.00 for tint (both of which salesman said he could get rid of for me). He also took a 1945.00 preferred customer discount as I have purchased a 3 and a 5 series from this dealer before. This brings the selling price to 40,584.00 + sales tax estimate of 3176.22 and 28.25 for title and 399.50 for doc fee and this comes to a total of 44,187.97. He quoted me the following lease options on this vehicle for a 36month/ 10,000 mile lease----- 1,500 due at signing 569.00/mo-------2,500 due at signing 539.00/mo-------4,250 due at signing 487.00/mo. After all of these quotes he stated that knocking off for the tint and mats that he could do 4,000 due at signing and 471.00/mo including tax or 2,000 due at signing and 530/mo. Is this a fair deal, as I am new to this whole leasing experience? Thanks in advance for any help.

07 328i Deal: Good or Bad? by zman1974
Nov 16, 2008 (12:45 pm)

I own an 02 Acura 3.2TL with 68,000 miles. I owe $13,800. The local BMW dealer has a an 07 328i with automatic and premium package (CPO, 8,000 miles) for $28,500.
 
The deal is $1,500 down, extend my payments out to 72 months, and increase my car payment from $505 to $574.
 
I want to get rid of the Acura because it's off extended warranty next month.
 
Good deal, or not?

Stick with the Acura. The 3 series will be out of warranty quite soon and it's extremely expensive to keep running. That Acura will run forever.

It's hard to evaluate this deal without knowing how much your dealer is giving you for the Acura.
 
Beyond that, I agree with blue's advice. I've owned Honda products way beyond warranty expiration without feeling any pain. And a good friend of mine drives a '92 Acura that she bought new & plans to keep until it turns 20.
 
It's not a good idea to roll negative equity into a new loan. You won't find any recognized authority on personal finance who'll go along with that. Keep your Acura until you've paid it off.

The dealer is giving me $9,000 for my car. So, I would be rolling around $4000+ in negative equity into the new loan.
 
Also, The BMW will be under almost three years of the standard warranty, which includes free maintenance, and 2 additonal years of the CPO warranty. It's the reason why I am even considering this deal.

Egad, you're down 13k now but you want to put yourself down even more? The Acura's taken its massive depreciation hit already. Hold onto it for another year. By then you'll be closer to right-side up on it and your local BMW dealer will be hurting even more.
 
Track how much you spend on maintenance over the next year. If it's more than about 1k you could probably make a case for getting a 2008 CPO'd 3 series in 09 and you'll get a much lower loan. If it's not 1k, try another year. Before you know it you may own that Acura and have no payments. Suddenly with no payments even spending 2k a year on maintenance seems cheap!
