#51 of 3504 Multi-security deposit john888 by awd2003 Mar 09, 2003 (10:25 am)
I leased a 2003 530i with Auto, sport, premium,xenon and cold pkg. 39mth/12k. I put down 4500 in refundable security. I had to pay $800 in fees. This includes 1st month. We don't prepay sales tax in CT. My monthly is $499 which includes sales tax. Hope this helps. I got jet black with black leather.

It sounds like you got a pretty sweet deal but can you give us additional details? What was the price of the car, the money factor, and the residual? Also, $4500 in refundable security deposit sounds steep. Is that standard? Finally, how did you get this deal? Did you negotiate vehicle price first and then discuss lease terms based on that or did the dealer come out and offer you the $499 payment with the terms you describe?   Thanks, BlueOx

Sounds great, which dealer? salesman? I gotta contact them. Tks.
#54 of 3504 2004 Pricing by athorpe Mar 11, 2003 (10:18 pm)
sorry...this is a duplicate from general 5-series board _________________   Looking for some input on price for the E60.   I'm at the top of the local dealer's list for the 2004 5-series and they are about to start taking deposits. They are telling me price will be MSRP flat. This is clearly a big number, and clearly higher than the general price talk on this board for all types of 5-series - in particular it sounds like new 530s range from invoice +$1500-2000 these days, which is probably MSRP minus ~$1.5-2k I think.   A new model, being first on the list, etc clearly means I'm going to go to the cleaners on this one. Question for the group is whether MSRP strikes you as crazy/obscene/unjustified or just plain high/silly/self-indulgent (which it clearly is)? Is MSRP normal for new BMW models? (I suppose I should check the 7-board as well, does anyone have data on that?). I know all of this depends on 32 factors which someone will be nice enough to detail for me, but what I'm really interested in is the sanity check from those of you more knowledgeable than I.   For what its worth, I'm probably going to get a 545i auto (yes, heresy I know - wife + commute = auto unfortunately).   Thanks for your input.

Picked-up my new 525i in Belgium on the 10th and drove to Germany. These cars are really born to run on the autobahn! It will go the east coast in April and I will drive it to Arizona in May. The drive across the USA will not be nearly as much fun!   2003 525i (Auto) Premium Package PDC Sun Shade System(For Arizona) Rear side airbags Stateside Delivery $36,600   No customs, state sales tax, or other fees.   Happy motoring!   SEL3

athorpe:   1) If you're not in a big hurry to get the car, waiting 6 months might save you $2k 2) Waiting will also help you find out what other owners think of the car, and if there's any glitch in the new design 3) Have you considered European Delivery? It may save you $2-3k.   By the way, what's the MSRP on the 545iA?   Good luck! Tony
#57 of 3504 2004 Pricing by athorpe Mar 12, 2003 (9:52 pm)
Tony - Thanks for the thoughts. I'm leaning towards just taking the plunge and maybe trying to go ED (a good thought) to mentally feel less guilty about it. I'm not sure what the msrp will be on the car yet, not sure dealer knows either.
#58 of 3504 530I pricing blueox2 & john888 by awd2003 Mar 14, 2003 (5:52 pm)
I bought my car at BMW of North Haven, CT. I leased this car because BMW had good rates at the time. I told the salesman I would lease for the best time which happens to be 39 months. I have always put down refundable security deposits because I can save at least 50 bucks a month. I ordered the car in November and got it February. I hope this helps. Steptronic,Sport,Cold,Xenon and Premium. Black/Black If you need more info write back and I'll post my email address
#59 of 3504 European Delivery Invoice Prices by blueox2 Mar 17, 2003 (7:22 pm)
Habitat 1 in post #5849 (March 8, 2003) of the general "5-series" discussion spoke knowledgably of ED invoice prices (including specific options). Does anyone know where on the net I can get this information? I am strongly considering ED of a 530i, 5spd, SP, PP, prem sound, fold-down seats, CWP but want to be well-armed with the European invoice price when I approach my local dealer. Thank you all for help. (I posted this question to the 5-series board as well so my apologies to those reading this for the second time.)
