First Time Lease - 630 fico score by suvcurious
Mar 03, 2007 (2:14 pm)
Reply
Hi, I currently own a two seater convertible (worth 8k according to KBB) and I'm looking into selling it and hopefully leasing a bmw x3 in the near future.
 
1. Is there a way to find out what the average interest rate for someone with a 630 fico score would be without actually applying? I don't want to try getting approved until I hear back from the bureaus regarding an investigation I requested on some false/old info.
  
2. The reason I'm looking into a lease is so that I could upgrade to a bigger SUV in a few years.... when I plan to start a family. In your opinion(s), is this a good idea or should I just buy it? I'm looking to have a car payment of about $500.
 
Thanks for your help!

BMW leases are pass/fail...
 
So, if you qualify, you qualify for the same rate as the guy who has an 800 FICO score..
 
If you are buying? Sorry, I have no idea of the interest rates for less than A credit.

Sounds like you might be buying this car from MAG in Dublin, Ohio, correct? If so, I couldn't get them to come off of the $825 acq fee or the doc fee, or get them to give a better money factor rate. That tee'd me off. So, I called Kelly Motors (near Easton), and they gave me the same car at the same price, but didn't mark up the acq fee ($625), eliminated the doc fee (to $0), and gave me the buy rate money factor of .002. It may be worth a call.
 
If this isn't who you're dealing with, you still should be able to get a lease deal without any mark up in the acq fee, doc fee, and money factor. Good luck with it.

Benifits, if any??? - under miles & BMW C.C. by jojo718
Mar 08, 2007 (6:05 pm)

I am new to this site and currently in my first lease. I currently have an 04' X3 w. about 16K on it in it's final year of a 3 year/ 30k mile lease; my first question would be if BMW has some sort of reinbursement or benifit to me for the added value due to the lower mileage????
  
Second question would be if anyone has used their BMW C.C. benifits toward their current lease - "up to 5ktowards your lease" - is this as simple and straight forward as it is presented????
  
I love the fact that this website exists - I have read the posts for some time now. This is my first post and it has been coming for some time now..My current lease is up in Sept. 07' and I intend on releasing another X3... hopefully by then the new 3 series 300 hp engine will be an option.
  
One last question - sorry - do you reciweve the same discounts when you order a custom X3????
Thanx for the help, you guys are a great resource....

Best BMW Dealer in Western North Carolina Area by rjslaydon

I will by purchasing (not leasing) a new BMW X3 for cash within the next month with an expected MSRP or around $47,000. Can anyone recommend the best BMW DEALER in the Western North Carolina area (Asheville) to get the lowest cash deal?
 
The closest BMW dealer is Fletcher Motors BMW, but there are many other dealers within a 200 mile radius, including dealers in Hickory, NC, Greenville, SC, Charlotte, NC, Greensboro, NC, etc. Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

Although I always advocate honesty, even when dealing with car dealers, I'll suggest this to you: Don't make a big deal of "all cash." It won't help you get a better price. They make money on the loans, so disclosing that you have cut off that line of profit won't help you get the lowest price.
 
Enjoy the Ride!

The dealer is offering 2006 BMW x3 for 34,995; certified used with extended warranty til 2012 or 100,000 miles. It has 13,800 miles on it already. What should I look out for?
Dealer is selling several and has told me "hurry,purchase it, it won't last." A quick reply would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

In Dec. 2006 I purchased a 2006 X-3,Certified with 12,300 miles for $33,900 from BMW of Montgomery (AL.). The vehicle came with the premium package and heated seats. A word of caution, I have little faith in the certified inspection process that leads you to believe your vehicle is in excellent condition. The day I picked up my X-3 the low oil light came on and I reported it to the sales advisor. I was told the light was nothing and everything was fine. Forty-eight hours later the light came again on I 95 outside of Midway Ga.. I checked the oil and found it was down over a quart of oil. Remember this vehicle takes synthetic oil and it's near impossible to find at the typical gas/convenience store on an interstate. As it turns out an "O" ring above the oil pan had not seeded properly and caused the leak. You could see the oil stains all the way down the side of the oil pan and yet it was never identified during the certified inspection. I put 2 messages on the board if you want to research them. Forget the inspection and have the vehicle looked over carefully. See if they changed the oil and rotated the tires. That may tell you if vehicle received any service at all.

Thank You so much for your answer which was extremely helpful. I noticed that the car has a deep scratch on the rear door jam and was told that it was nothing and that they would give me some touch up paint to cover it up. I didn't feel comfortable with that. If I do decide to purchase I will defintely have the vehicle looked over. Thanks again.
