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.

bmw from small market - ugh!! by jjrm1

Here is the offer I am getting from the only BMW dealer town!
 
Sales price of $44,320 $2000 over invoice 3 year lease (67% residual) using 3K down w/ 12K miles per year money factor of 0024 sales tax of 6.25% = $604.27 being your monthly amount. Does this seem reasonable?
 
By the way, none of the calculators seem to be generating this monthly payment. Has anyone used leaseguide.com's calculator?

What is the MSRP? You can't calculate a lease without it..
 
From first reading, that deal doesn't look very good...

Hi KYFDX! I finally heard back from the bureaus and my fico score went up to 662! But, yes, you're right with BMW you either pass/fail. I applied online and got approved for a lease. However, now I'm nervous to pull the trigger b/c everyone is telling me that leasing is a bad idea. Can I get your thoughts? Can I also get your input on what the current APRIL money factor lease rates are?
 
Thanks a bunch!

The X3 has a money factor of .00215, which is higher than last month... But, it still has a 65% residual for 3yr/45K, which is insanely high (that is a good thing for a residual).
 
With the lease deal currently in place, there is no way that I would buy an X3..
 
But, a good lease deal is all in the details... Just like buying, a good deal depends on the negotiation.

How is this deal? by kobuk

Hello everyone, how is this deal?
premium package, xenon lights, park assis, 18" wheel, heated front, privacy, servotronic, cargo net, heated steering wheel,auto.
 
Msrp: $45,200, dealer offer: 3% off msrp, which is $1356. Got couple questions here:
 
1. it seems that people are looking for 5% discount, so I guess this is just an average deal?
 
2. so what month is the best timing you have more chance to knock off more msrp? such as December when dealer need to clear inventory?
 
3. Also dealer kindly mentioned that back seat side air bag is dangerous to kids, so I removed it. What impact the air bag would have on kids, any idea or examples?
 
thank in advance for your reponse.

From your comment on back-seat air bags, it sounds as if you are ordering this vehicle. If this is the case, I've heard the deals aren't as sweet as they might be on a vehicle already sitting on the lot.
 
I've got two strikes against me -- 1. I'd need to special order mine because I want the six-speed manual (I'll never find one of those sitting on the lot around here), and 2. I live in a one-BMW-dealer town (no competition).

Hi Tim,
Thanks for your reply. I haven't ordered the car yet. Still bargaining with the dealer. I think you are right, if I could find a car in the lot that might give more bargainning power. I talked to another dealer, they have to order it too, but they offer 4% off msrp, better than the first one. Let me keep trying and good luck to you too.
