Replying to: atamir (May 09, 2005 10:59 am) If that is your payment, the security deposit will be $450. If the car actually MSRPs for $37,995, that is a good deal.. Good luck.. regards, kyfdx |

I've enjoyed reading your comments regarding the X3. I find purchasing a new vehicle to be a rather stressfull event! I just received a $38K quote from a dealer for a 2005 X3 with following options: Manual transmission black sapphire, terra cotta leather interior sports package fake wood trim (of some sort!) premium package xenon lights heated seats Does this price sound reasonably good to any of you? Thanks!

Replying to: dcriggs (May 11, 2005 6:41 am) The 3.0 model is usually a better deal.. given the no-extra-cost automatic transmission (which wouldn't help you any) and the free sunroof.. Better lease numbers than the 2.5 model, as well. .if you are inclined to lease. regards, kyfdx

Replying to: kyfdx (May 11, 2005 6:51 am) That's interesting about the better lease prices for the 3.0. We'll have to check that out if we go automatic after all. Thanks again, dcriggs

I recently got a quote on a X3 3.0 with the following configuration Automatic Metallic Paint Premium Package Heated front seats (not Cold Weather Package) MSRP including destination/handling: $39,770 With a $3,000 cap reduction, the monthly lease pmts based on 3 year lease & 10K miles/year came to $347/month (pretax). In addition there was a bank fee of $695. Tax, tag, title fees xtra, and not included in the above monthly pmt. Would anybody care to comment whether this is a good deal? Thanks – any help would be appreciated.

Replying to: haakon (May 11, 2005 11:59 am) By the way, I would never make a $3K cap cost reduction... If the car is stolen or totaled, you will likely not get any of the down payment back.. I also roll in the acquisition fee and all taxes.. So, for reference, with a selling price of $38K, no cap cost reduction and the $625 acquisition fee rolled in, the payment would be $452/mo.+tax. If you negotiated another $500 off the price, subtract $15/mo. regards, kyfdx |

I test drove an X3 today and like it. The dealer told me that if I trade in my old car I can save the tax on the trade in value. I remembered that you guys recommend not to put any down payment or trade in because you can get that part of money back if the car is totaled or stolen. But the dealer said that portion is covered by the BMW gap insurance. Is that true? You guys also mentioned that 3.0 has better lease deal. I know 3.0 has more standard options. are those lease rates different between 3.0 and 2.5? Thanks.

Replying to: zhou (May 15, 2005 12:17 am) You can still trade-in, and get the tax credit without putting the money down on the lease.. Just ask them to cut you a check for your car on trade-in, then write them a check for the upfront cost of the lease... The lease rates are better on the 3.0 model.. It isn't just the higher level of equipment.. regards, kyfdx
