Local special was ~4K, 24 months, low mileage, something around 269-289. But the local dealer sometimes does have sweetheart deals - over the summer had an E350 with similar down and terms for 489 - not even an end of year deal.

I could deal with that. I don't put that on both my cars combined. Any eventual next car for me might be something like that, if I suspect the deal is good enough.

Similar terms here were on a 535i for 489, I think. Not a bad deal. You're probably just barely covering depreciation.

#9888 of 10921 Cheap leases by kyfdx HOST

BMW 5-series has a special 24-month lease... Cheap, considering the short term...
 
Can't agree with it being sad that you can lease a BMW or Mercedes cheap... That's the only way I can drive one.. Screw "brand image"... they are cars..
 
And, I've got stellar credit, thank you!

a new Interceptor Utility.
and a brief conversation while I was waiting for my wife to finish her goodbye's.
I was stopped in the road at the and of a driveway, with my right turn signal on.
The funny thing was the cop was from my town, but I was in the next town over.

The image thing seems to be more of a NA construct than anything. In Europe, the brands are respected, but not instantly thought of as luxury. It all depends on the model and how it is equipped. These lease specials seem to have been going on for awhile, brand equity is still alive, sales are huge - the market accepts.

328xi for $349/39 with $3,500 down. And a 5 series for $449 (I think the same term).
 
So cheap. Too bad I didn't like the new 5. Think I'd look at that AWD Bimmer if I were the leasing type.
 
I drive 2 cars (one daily commuter, one weekend/family car) so the 10k miles limit wouldn't be an issue for me.
 
I don't see how the math adds up. $50k car, in 3 years the residual is half or less, where's the $25k worth of payments? Even for the 5er the totals aren't even $20k.

Saw a new ES today, as it was a couple blocks from the dealer, I suspect it was going to or from. Also had a new GS park way out by me at Costco.
