let me get this straight, you're thinking of leasing a 41,050 bmw for 337/mo with 3000 down? what is meant by using (7+1) MSRDs? Also where is this dealor, ours here in dutchess county ny give hardly any discount. it sounds like a good deal to me.
thanks

There's 2760 in trunk money on 2008s. 2008s are going for invoice - minus discounts. You offer a dealer $2500 below invoice on a 2008 in so cal and he'll take it.

You don't have to buy your car in dutchess county. There are plenty of dealers in Westchester, CT, Rockland (Wide World of Cars), Orange (Orange County BMW)... That would be willing to earn your business.

More like asking prices... My family and I attended a small car show at a local community college where dealerships from the area bring cars. The BMW dealer had an E92 M3 Coupe, Black/Black with an MSRP of $75,000! 10 years ago an E36 M3 could be had with an MSRP in the low $40K range!

2007 328i with 23K miles by stringbeanie

I just purchased a 2007 328i Montego Blue/Black interior with Navigation, Premium package and 23,000 miles (CPO also) for $24,991 (looks just like new inside and out). Seems almost too good to be true. Makes me think they are desperate to sell this car. Carfax checks out great but there were a lot of service visits (13 during 2 years) during the lease for unspecified reasons. Did I make a mistake? I do have warranty for another 75K + yrs. Any thoughts?

Took Delivery on 2009 335i Coupe by Relleum

This is the deal I got on a 2009 335i Coupe for 3 years with 12k miles per year:
Blue Water / Beige
Premium, Sport, Automatic, Satellite Radio, iPod Adapter, Smartphone Integration, Steering wheel with paddle shifters.
 
When configured on edmunds:
Edmunds MSRP: $50,345
Edmunds Invoice: $46,360
 
However, Edmunds base prices have $200 extra on them that wasn't on my sticker.
 
Sticker MSRP: 50,145
Negotiated Value: $46,156
Acquisition Fee: $725
Dealer Fee: $689
 
Capital Cost Reduction: $2650 (I put $1150 down, and $1500 came from stimulus.)
 
Adjusted Cap Cost: 44,920
Residual Value: 29,585 (59%)
Money Factor: .00205
Monthly Payment: 578.68 + 37.61 tax = 616.29
 
At this point I put 5 security deposits, 1 of them required to get the original .00205, and the other 4 reducing the money factor down to: 4 x .00007 = .00028
New money factor: .00205 - .00028 = .00177
 
Final Monthly Payment: 557.83 + 36.26 = 594.09
 
Out of Pocket:
 
$1150 down payment
5 x 600 refundable security deposits = $3000
First Monthly Payment: 594.09
License Fees: 28.06
Sales Use/ Tax: 12.71
Sales Tax on $1000 cap reduc: 172.25
Florida Fees: 66.50
Tag Agency: 129.00
 
Total Out of Pocket 2152.61 + 3000 refundable = $5152.61
 
This was in South Florida. After the crazy negotiations between 4 dealerships (pitting them all against eachother), I got a deal that I'm very happy with. I hope this helps someone get a great deal.

Great deal! They're basically doing everything they can to move the cars off lots. Sadly used cars are taking a beating in resale too.

Update: That $150 didnt come out of the blue, I guess I put 1150 down instead of 1000 as my cap cost reduction.

Getting ready to close deal when car was hit by porter by user_unknown

Hey there,
 
I've been reading this forum for a while, and can honestly say that it's saved me, or will save me some cash. So to all who's post have helped, thanks!
 
Anyway to my question. I was getting ready to close on a used 2008 from the dealer when it was hit by the porter damaging, front quarter, and door. Nothing major, but still an accident. Since the chances of me buying the car when I'm done are minimal, I just look at this as a possibility of a lower cost. Anyone have any experience with this? For something that's maybe a 3k repair, how much should I ask them to knock off the price?
 
thanks!
