I can wait. I'm impatient by nature, especially when I set my sights on something, but I'd like to wait until after the LA auto show anyway... just to shop around.
 
As always, thanks for your input.

Hmmm.. I had heard that BMWFS had dropped all lease support on '04s as of November 5th..
 
I'd like to see all the fine print on that deal.. They did have some great 24 month leases going back in September.. and maybe into October.. I'd be surprised if they could still do it, though..

His selling price is right under 39K but the aquisition fee is $725 as you had warned. I have not heard on the security depost and he is trying to get the MF down for me so lets see if I can get close to your numbers.
 
Thanks

Kyfdx,
 
Your information is greatly appreciated. I had 2 more ?s for you.
 
1) I was curious what the reason is behind this if the payments come out to the same "If they want extra profit, then I want them putting it in the purchase price, not hiding it in the finance office."
 
2) Also on "With an MSRP of $40,645 and a selling price of $39,000, for 3yr/36K lease
 
Payment = $540 + tax..
Upfront = 1st pymt.+ security deposit + $525 acquisition fee.. plus any title, licensing fees.
 
What is the MF used in the above calculation, .00210? I am trying to negotiate and wasn't sure if I should try to just tell him what I would like my payment or try for an exact MF reduction.
 
Thanks!

Maybe it was last weeks copy? I never trusted blowout ads anyway. The fine print you alluded to usually has too much baggage. But if I was buying I'd still go through the motions to make sure a good deal didn't slip through the cracks. Anyway, I felt it was my obligation to inform my X3 homies. Whussup homies?

1) They can make the same profit by adding $500 to the cap cost, as they do from bumping the MF by .0004
 
However, the $500 extra costs you about $15/mo., while the MF bump would cost you $25/mo.. BMWFS gets the extra money on the MF bump...
 
It makes no sense... you would think they would do whatever keeps the payment the lowest, but they think they can "hide" the profit this way.
 
2) MF .00210 residual 60% for 3yr/36K
 
Now that you have a good idea of what is a good price...
 
You can offer: $540/mo. + tax with no more than $1800 due at signing.. for 3yr/36K
 
regards,
kyfdx

kyfdx,
 
Just when I had resigned myself to wait I got a call from the dealer. They'd rather discount a 2005 now for me rather than wait a few months. They suggested I configure 1 to my specifications and order it. Here's what I'm going to propose:
 
2005 X3 3.0
Silver Grey / Black leather
Navigation
BMW Assist
Privacy Glass
Satellite Prep
Auto (not coming up as $0 on Edmunds)
Sunroof
 
MSRP $41,895
Invoice $38,355
Negotiated Price $39,355
Residual 60%
MF .00210
36 months / 12,000 miles
Monthly Payment including tax $507.27
 
I went with $1000 over invoice to keep the MF at the base. Do you think I could get away with asking for $750 above invoice? The price may change a bit because I may have Sirius factory installed. I'm not sure if that still requires Sat Prep.
 
What do you think?

kyfdx,
 
Ok so I went back with all of your very helpful info and this is what I ended up with.
 
1st Payment of $1513.04 and then I have 2 options
1)w/ Security Deposit $553/month +tax
2) waive the Security and apply the security deposit amount ($600)to the down $546/month + tax
 
Those #s seemed pretty good to me and I think I will go w/ option 2. What do you think?
 
THANK YOU!
