kyfdx,
 
I am looking to lease a 2005 X3 3.0i that has a MSRP of $39,945. First offer by dealer was $560/mo for 39 months plus tax tag title. I countered at $37,600 ($1000 over invoice) using your MF of .00100 and 60% residual for a payment of $438/mo plus tax tag title. The dealer came back with their final offer of a $520/mo payment plus tax tag title based on a MF of .00165 and 60% residual. . Am I missing something or can I get a deal close to what I figured elsewhere?
 
Please give me some advice on how to proceed. I am in the S.E.
 
Thanks,

You'll probably have to try more than one dealer... Not sure exactly where you are, but Nalley BMW in the Atlanta area has a reputation for dealing... Or Passport in Maryland...
 
Some dealers just won't budge..

Thanks. I am in SC and called an Atlanta dealer who gave me a payment based on your MF and residual and agreed to $1000 over invoice, but is steadfast on a $450 refundable security deposit. Is this necessary? Total cash at closing is $1322.57. SC sales tax is a maximum of $300, tag and title no more than $50. Is the rest going to there bottom line? Thanks for all of your help.

Yes... security deposit is necessary.. They will waive it, but it involves a mark-up of the money factor... which is a bad deal..
 
The $450 comes back to you at the end of the lease...
 
The $1322 includes the first payment and the security deposit... So, there should be nothing extra going to the dealer... That seems normal..

Although I didn't buy from them, I highly recommend Moritz in Arlington, TX as their internet sales department is amazing. I bought at BMW of Dallas as they had the car I wanted. Keep in mind that BMW of Dallas is now owned by Auto Nation and the service and showroom is par for Auto Nation. There are only a handful of 05 3.0's left in the metroplex. If you're going to wait 2 to 3 months, I assume you're going for an 06.
My deal:
2005 X3 3.0
MSRP $40,820
$1,000 total due at signing including first month payment
$418 per month
39 month/ 12k
 
Love the car, especially the upgraded radio option!

#967 of 1822 buying a used 2004 BMW X3 3.0 by seeker6

Ok...if I were just writing a check to a dealer, and I offered, let's say $36000 for a fully loaded 2004 X3 3.0L automatic/premium pkg/sport pkg/premium sound/nav with 16K miles on it...
 
What are the MINIMUM extras I can expect on the contract?
 
Meaning, I know there's an acquisition fee (around 595 or so), taxes and title (how much would title be?), and a doc fee (the dealer is saying it's standard at $150).
 
Is there anything else I should be wary of? I told them I won't pay ad fees, but that's about as far as it's gotten.
 
And, does 36K sound fair? They seem to not be willing to budge on $37995 that they advertise. Seems odd.
 
So, what else is standard on the contract...and what should I absolutely reject.
 
Thanks for your help!

Acquisition fees are only for leases.. You aren't leasing an '04, are you?
 
Do you really want all of those options? If not, you'd be better off finding a new $41K MSRP '05 and getting it for around $39K...
 
Tax, title and license fees vary by state..

I'm not leasing...buying it from a dealer (2004 bmw X3). So no "delivery charge" or anything like that? Just want to make sure.
 
Any other charges besides tax, title and license fees? PS - I'm in NJ
 
Thanks so much for your help and feedback.

No.. there shouldn't be..
 
Agreed upon sales price
Tax (6% in NJ, I think)
Title, license, maybe some EPA tires fees, state inspection.. Maybe $300 total.
 
That should be it..

#971 of 1822 X3 lease - Is this good? by amiras

Jul 28, 2005 (11:01 am)

Here's the quote i've got from my dealer:
X3 3.0i
 
MSRP: 40,445 (including destination charge)
Invoice Price: 37,035 (including destination charge)
Cap Cost: Invoice + 1000 = 38,035
Acq. fee: $625
Adjusted cap cost: 38,660
Money factor: 0,001
Residual value: 63%
Lease term: 39 months/ 10K year
VA Sales tax: 3%
Monthly payment: $435.22
 
Does this sounds good? I'm between this and an X5 for $490 a month (only option automatic and cold weather package).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
 
Angel
