Replying to: jrynn (Jul 31, 2008 7:13 am) I would attribute part of that drop to the changes in the lease deals from last year to this year.. This year they are good... Last year they were stupid good...   The rest you can put on the rise in gas prices, I guess...   They don't have any dealer cash on the X3s, but they do have 0.9% financing for 60 months... That equates to about an extra 10% off, compared to market rates..   regards, kyfdx Host-Prices Paid Forums Replies to this message: bodble2 (Jul 31, 2008 1:00 pm)

Replying to: bodble2 (Jul 30, 2008 10:09 pm) Yeah, I was talking about the X5 3.0 vs the X3 as far as MPG's. The extra weight the X5 carries vs the X3 would definitely be noticeable 0-60, but that's not a huge concern since my A4 2.0T and Miata don't exactly scream off the line. Despite the fact that sales are down vs last year, there still seem to be about a 2-3:1 ratio of X5's vs. X3's on lots.

Replying to: jrynn (Jul 31, 2008 7:13 am) I just think SUVs in general, are a dying genre. First the minivan, now the SUV. Probably several factors. One, trends always come and go in cycles; two, the high gas prices, and three, the aging baby-boomers and more and more empty-nesters. Not many people need a bulky SUV anymore. Its just not as cool anymore. You think Hummer owners are getting envious looks?

#1463 of 1544 Used '07 X3 by waltermm Sep 10, 2008 (6:46 pm)
I'm looking at a used '07 X3, Premium package, with 15k miles. It's a BMW buy back from a first owner. The problem was a bad ESC and has been corrected. The best deal the dealer will offer is $26.9k plus $ $350 dealer fee. Is this a reasonable deal ? Should I look further ? Are there any particular problems with the '07 model year ?

Replying to: waltermm (Sep 10, 2008 6:46 pm) Hey waltermm,   I think that is a great deal. They are going for approximately 31k or more w/ comparable mileage here in NJ. Where are you getting this deal.

#1466 of 1544 09 lease terms by speedracer8 Sep 27, 2008 (7:40 pm)
Today I was quoted a lease on an 09 X3. 15k miles/year. Interest rate 4.8%. Residual only 60% - that seems very low to me, in the past I know BMWs have had mid 60s. The sales guy said residuals are down this year for every co. Yeah maybe American cos. (some of which are stopping leases altogether), but this is BMW. Are other people getting such low residual values on X3s now? Replies to this message: bodble2 (Sep 28, 2008 6:29 pm)

Replying to: speedracer8 (Sep 27, 2008 7:40 pm) That doesn't sound like a good lease deal to me. At 60% residual, interest rate better be down to no more than 2.9%.
