Replying to: haakon (May 23, 2005 4:00 pm) Jet Black/Terracotta Leather Premium Pkg Auto Trans Xenon Headlights Privacy Glass Satellite Radio Prep MSRP$40,020 Sale Price $37,650 Invoice $36,670 Drives like a sports car. xDrive is incredible. Xenon headlights swivel to light your path. Plenty of power...can't imagine how it will drive when they start putting the 255hp 3 liter engine in it. |

Looked hard at the X3 yesterday. The lease opportunity is so attractive. .0010 for a money factor and aggresive dealers. I just wish I liked the styling more. For a buying experience, if you are interested....NOW IS THE TIME!!!!!!! Can anyone tell me if they opted for the aero kit or even seen one. I want to know if it looks to pimped out or does it add a masculine look to the car? It drove awesome, but then again it is a BMW. djocks |

Replying to: muni (May 25, 2005 10:00 pm) 2) I always recommend never making a cap cost reduction.. you can read back through the thread to see why.. 3) Your purchase price of $41,675 is decent..about $1900 off MSRP... not the lowest I've seen, but fair.. 4) The dealer is marking up the acq.fee ($625 base) and the money factor (using .0012, base is .0010). If he dropped those two figures back to the base numbers, the payment would drop to $381.06/mo., with about $4982 due at signing. If it were me.... NO cap cost reduction Base MF .0010 Base acq.fee $625 Net cap cost $42,300 (selling price + acq.fee) Payment $495/mo.+ tax. Due at signing: 1st pymt, security deposit, $218 misc.fees (from your numbers).. Total due: Approx. $1215. One other note.. I don't see any provision for sales tax in these numbers.. Are you paying that upfront? If so, that would be even more due at signing.. Or, it would have to be rolled into the payment (my choice). regards, kyfdx

Just did the paperwork on a new X3 3.0 lease- Jet Black/Black leather Automatic Premium Package Cold Weather Heated Steering Wheel Privacy Glass Sat Radio Prep MSRP: 40,120 Negotiated Price: 37,125 (before any cap cost reduction) Cap cost reduction: $300 MF .00100 (they started at .00140 and I said no way) Residual 61% Acq fee: $900 (it's New York- non-negotiable) 3 years/12k Up front: $3500 (tax, title, acq fees, other fees, and about $300 cap cost reduction, just to get to an even $3500 out of pocket) Monthly Payment: $404 I was a little surprised to negotiate nearly $3000 off of MSRP, but this is a great time to deal on this vehicle. The dealer was very pleasant and professional. I am looking forward to picking it up tomorrow! Good luck if you are looking to get one.

Replying to: kyfdx (May 26, 2005 6:39 am) One question. How did you calculate the money factor? There is no sales tax in Oregon. Thanks, Muni

Replying to: kyfdx (May 27, 2005 6:36 am) Hopefully the sales price will help others in the forum on their deals. I have found that sales folks, when faced with customers who understand leasing and what types of deals folks are getting across the country, tend to either be jerks or be much more cooperative- depends on how willing they are to deal. For what it is worth, here was my strategy: I ran numbers on a lease calculator so I knew what range payments should be based on my price targets and the residual, etc. (I have seen some dealers mysteriously end up 20-40 bucks higher per month with the same numbers). I waited until the end of the month to do it. Then I came in and asked for $37,000. I quoted the .00100 from this forum and the Leasing Questions forum, told them that I knew there was about a $700 holdback, and told them I saw deals better than $2000 off of MSRP on various forums- and even one who says he got below invoice (that person did not give any other specifics on that deal). I also reminded them that when the BMW lease support dries up this summer (it usually does for all manufacturers) and the more powerful engine comes in the fall, they may be stuck with what is on the lot now (they had 15-20 X3's- best to deal on an overstocked vehicle). 15 minutes later the deal was done at $37,125. That is about $365 over Edmunds invoice, $215 over the dealer's stated invoice. Makes me wonder if I could have squeezed a bit more, but it was a pleasant experience and I got my target price, so I decided why be greedy... The above circumstances (end of month, lease support may go, overstocked, new engine in the fall) really make this a great time to deal on this car.... I hope this helps others. By the way, kyfdx, thanks for your posts on this board. I don't know if you are a host or just helpful, but you've given a lot of good advice. These forums are really a powerful information tool for consumers. You can actually see a sales managers face drop as soon as you reference Edmunds' forums.... |
