#1132 of 3499 Re: Buying Down The rate on a 5 Series [azbmwx5] by kyfdx HOST Nov 24, 2004 (6:58 am)
Replying to: azbmwx5 (Nov 23, 2004 5:43 pm) I'm not an expert on the MSD program, but it did change.. I'll tell you what I believe to be accurate.. take it with a grain of salt.   1) MSD has always been available on BMWFS leases, even the "subvented" ones.   2) In 2001, you got a .0001 reduction for up to 9 extra deposits... that has changed.. the reduction is now half what it was and the extra deposits are restricted to 5.   3) So, before you could save .0009 with 9 extra deposits.. Now, you can save .00025 with 5 extra.   As you can see, it is not nearly as generous as it was before.. It still makes a little financial sense, but not enough to worry about.. You can save a LOT more by just getting them to use the base rates.   regards, kyfdx

Replying to: nyccarguy (Nov 23, 2004 7:36 pm) Those are the base rates...   Don't know about the going purchase price.. but, I ran the lease numbers and got $627/mo + tax.. If you roll the $525 acq.fee into the cap cost, it comes to $643/mo + tax.   There could be different figures for NY, not sure..
#1134 of 3499 Tax rate by nyccarguy Nov 24, 2004 (5:14 pm)
in Rockland County where my parents live is 8.125%. The bank fee in NY is more than $525 because of the lovely loopholes in the law that allowed people to sue lending institutions for millions of dollars when someone in a leased car was involved in an accident. Many mfrs stopped leasing in NY for about 8 months. The banks recouped some of the money by charging more on the leasing fees.   Their up front costs will be as follows: 1st month, Security, Bank fee, & DMV fees (also quite pricey in NY).
#1135 of 3499 5 Series makes the Bad List by sapparo Nov 25, 2004 (5:35 pm)
http://money.cnn.com/2004/11/08/pf/autos/cr_auto_reliability/   Whats going on with these new german makes nothing but problems it seems? First the 7 series was blasted for its styling and then poor reliability of electronics. What are the issues with the 5 series now? Seems like the all new AWD Acura RL which is prob. the most advanced car going right now in the class is the best bet. The Audi A6 is appealing only on the inside that front schnoze is super overdone and hideous. Replies to this message: lovemyclk (Nov 29, 2004 3:15 pm)
#1136 of 3499 Need my buddy kyfdx by motowneer Nov 26, 2004 (4:44 am)
I normally know my way around a regular retail purchace, but for the first time, I'm considering leasing and really need some concrete advice. They just came out with some special lease rates on the slow selling. homely 5 series(but I like it and see it as an opportunity.) Anyway, I'm looking at an '05 530i...total msrp is$50,970. I know it's a waste to dump down payment on leasing but I'll give them 2500.00 and roll the 1st pmt. and sec. deposit into lease. They've come back with 575 a month on a 36 month lease at 10K miles a year. I'm fine with 10K miles as I don't drive a lot. Bottom line, is it unrealistic to want a payment of 540 to 550 a month knowing they are going to start using the new engine(r36) in March production, so buying now means I'm getting the older tech engine? Thanks! Hope you can help. Pittsburgh area.

If your total upfront is $2500, then $575/mo plus tax is about $2000 off MSRP... Not bad, you might be able to knock another $25-$30/mo. off that.. If the $575 is including tax, you might be close to the bottom line.   regards, kyfdx Replies to this message: motowneer (Nov 27, 2004 2:02 pm)

my parents are looking at pretty much the same car, and were quoted $667 per month for 15K per year on a 36 month lease. We're going to try and do a little better. Right now our Capitalized cost for the lease is $1500 over invoice.   Don't worry about the new valvetronic 3.0L Inline 6. The 3.0L motor in the car now suits it just fine. It is a proven engine that shouldn't give you a lick of trouble for the duration of your lease. That's the benefit of leasing. If you were to buy the car, and then the same car came out with the new, more powerful engine, the resale value of your car would go down.   Good luck and let us know what's going on.

I don't think the new engine will be available in the '05s.. I'm pretty sure the 5-series won't get them until the '06 model year.. Replies to this message: motowneer (Nov 27, 2004 2:03 pm)
