leasing 2008 v. 2009 328 coupe - by paidtoargue

Looking to lease a 328 coupe. I see that there are still some 2008's left at dealerships around Chicago area. Since it is a lease, I do not view there to be any great advantage to a 2009 over a 2008. Can anyone give me a sense or a range of how much would be saved per month leasing a 2008 instead of a 2009? Assume a 36 month lease with 12k. Thanks in advance.

Hi
Dealer makes money by marking up the acquisition fee and the money factor and adding profit. Make sure you demand the " buy rate" and the $ 725 bank acquisition fee which is the mandatory unmarked up fee.

Hey bluetacktwo, thanks for the heads up on a great deal. I spoke with the young man in internet sales at BMW Encinitas and told him about the "townhall" deal that you got. I asked for the same deal, and told him that I would be willing to drive two hours. I just asked that he email me the same deal on a car I scoped out on their website, so that there were no hitches. He emailed me the deal, and I drove down. They made it easy, and the finance manager was also very easy to deal with. I set everything up in advance, and they kept their word on everything. I left with a new 2008 black 335i that ended up being significantly cheaper than my local dealer offered on a 2009 328i. I let my other half drive it home, while I drove the other car. When we got back home, she just looked at me with a grin and said "you'll love it." Thanks again, and anyone looking to save a bundle on a rocket should get down their before they're gone.

Yes, it was $10,200 off (plus free mats), and no ridiculous fees that other dealers seemed to attach. As far as financing, it is not BMW supported, but they do offer financing. If you have outstanding credit they can get you a good rate, probably in the 4.5% range. Call and work it out with them in advance.

EURO has droped 20%, BMW's pricing should follow by forex3

So far, BMWNA only gave less than 2K for incentives (according to this board). But, since last May, EUR vs $ has dropped about 20%. While at the same time, however, BMWNA increased all the MRSPs (?%).

European car makers can't adjust prices along with the Euro/USD exchange rate.. They can only charge what the competitive market allows..
 
Plus, the Euro is up 5% against the dollar, just in the last week... They probably have some sort of currency hedging strategy.. but, sometimes they come out ahead, and sometimes they lose.. they can't base prices strictly on what the Euro is doing over the short-term..
 
regards,
kyfdx
