#638 of 1544 Re: Got first quote and financing terms from dealer [ttothes] by mvs1 Mar 25, 2005 (6:00 pm)
Replying to: ttothes (Mar 23, 2005 6:06 am) Just an FYI not concerning the purchase/lease price. But the window tint done locally. BMW offers privacy glass on the X3 and X5, granted a $350 option, if you want tint take it factory!!!. The factory glass is substantially better then aftermarket installed glass (I'm in the aftermarket business, my partner would kill me if he heard me saying that!). Aftermarket tint is actually a film with adhesive backing. Regardless of how "good" the tinter is contamination is always an issue when mounting the tint. The aftermarket tint can get scratched over time and will need to be replaced, very costly, a bummer if you plan on keeping this car for awhile, also requires use of different cleaners, etc. more maintenance for the user. Also, if they are charging you the same price $350 they are taking you for a ride, most reputable tint shops would charge no more then $250 (these are tri-state prices). Your best option is go with the factory tint which if it adds the same price ($350) will be residualized. (is that a word?). Then have the two front windows tinted to match the rest of the vehicle (about $50-65). Just my 2-cents
#639 of 1544 Sirius and Aux Adapter by ledname Mar 26, 2005 (7:56 am)
My dealer wants to charge $550 for Sirius and $80 for the Aux adapter. I'm think that is about double what I should be paying. Anyone have any experiences with these items? I will be picking up on Wednesday or Thursday and want to have some ammunition to bargain with.   Thanks!

Replying to: hello29 (Mar 28, 2005 2:37 pm) Are those options just selected, or the entire premium package?   Invoice on 2.5 with Auto, Metallic Paint and ZPP is $33,455.   Invoice on 2.5 with individual options is $33,070   Don't know your tax rate, but it looks like ~6.5%. Assuming title is minimal (~$100)   33,070+100+tax = 35,225 so it looks like you are under invoice. Probably a good deal, but I would trust kdyfx

Replying to: hsbndhatesbmw (Mar 30, 2005 4:39 pm) 1) $1700 discount is only a fair deal..   2) You could live with the $1700 discount if they were using the base rate money factors, but they aren't.   3) Base rate is .0010 With the security deposit waiver, the rate is .00115 They are bumping the rate the maximum .0004, resulting in your money factor of .00155   4) Something tells me that you asked them to hit that $550/mo. number and they structured the deal to do just that.   Your deal would be okay if they would use the base rates.. I would also make a security deposit, instead of waiving it... you will come out $300-$350 better in the long run..   With the deal structured as you have it now, the payment is $510+tax .. I assume that tax makes up the difference between the $510 and $550.   If you can get them to use the base rate of .0010 and make a security deposit, your payment would drop to $512/mo. including tax.. Your drive off would rise by the $550 security deposit, making your drive-off $1423.74, but you would get the $550 back at the end of the lease.   That would be a decent lease deal...   regards, kyfdx

kyfdx, Would you please look at message #640 and let me know??? I am still worried about what I did!!!! P.S. I do love driving it. I drove it off with 3 miles on it - now 303 with a road trip to KC for a soccer tournament this weekend. Can't wait! Replies to this message: kyfdx (Mar 31, 2005 8:13 pm)

Replying to: bmwfan4 (Mar 31, 2005 7:06 pm) The deal looks pretty good..   You already know about the $200 extra on the acq. fee....   A security deposit waiver adds .00015 to the money factor, so you are really close to the base rate.. If you got the waiver for some other reason (returning lessee?), then the bump is a full .0002   At best, you could have saved the $200 plus $14/mo. X 24 months... However, your selling price was very low..   In the end, your total cash outlay is all that matters... $560/mo. for a 24 month lease, with nothing else out of pocket is extremely cheap for a $41K car..   I didn't see it... 15K/year mileage, right?   regards, kyfdx
