The $2,000 Loyality can be used for a lease or a purchase. I leased an 0 M35 sport / tech/ advanced tech three days ago. The dealer applied the 2,000 to reduce the cap cost and I walked out paying down only the first month and the taxes on the 2000 rebate.
For reference my monthly note is 625.00
The increase you are experiencing is all about the 61% residual ( down from 65% a few years back). Good Luck!

How much do you think I can get a fully loaded 2009 M45 premium package RWD for cash money under invoice? If the price is the same as the 2008 M45 premium RWD. MSRP is $61,270 don't know the invoice.

Why do you think you'll be able to buy an 09 M for less than invoice? The deals now are on the 08's to get them off the lots. The 09's will sell for normal over invoice prices for a while...at least until the 08's are gone.

chemichael: I just bought that very car yesterday. Using the $2K loyalty money I got it for $1,500 below invoice, or $500 above invoice before the $2K. That includes full window tinting (essential here in AZ) which is a $250 - $300 add-on. It happens to have been the last day of the month and two hours before closing time with no customers in sight. Whether that helped squeeze the price down ... or was simply coincidental ... I can't opine.
Hope that helps.

Observations on my new M

I picked up my '08 M Monday ... when my '06 went off lease. I believe the A/C to be materially better than the '06. I didn't get the sport this time and am pleased with the softer and more quiet ride. Overall ... I'm a great fan of the M in all iterations. Bart

msrp was 47,800-ish and invoice was 43,400-ish. I don't have the precise numbers but these are pretty near exact. Bart
BTW: They've deleted the ability to control the radio and A/C with voice commands. Strikes me as stoooopid, but not a big deal.

They've taken a significant step backward with the voice commands. You can no longer say "temperature 74" or "790 AM" and get a response. Now you get a speach from the wench in the dash who wants you to pick from a list of options .. to which you respond .. and that prompts her where to go for additional prompts. Most annoying and a major regression from a far more user-friendly system. Salesman tells me that ALL of his repeat buyers are complaining. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a retro fix of the software; then again, if they haven't offered it by now they likely will not. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrgh.

Bart, so you finally decided to stick with a new M - you purchased this time instead of leasing, correct? I still can't see WHY they removed the Voice Recognition and Backup Camera - in order for me to keep that, I gotta get the Tech Package now, and it brings the price up over $50k MSRP. The lease is just too expensive. I actually just got off the phone with IFS and decided to have them send me out the paperwork to extend the lease - I can go up to three months, initially if I want - which would take me into October. Maybe that deal that I got now will be available again - who knows. With Gas Prices and the economy, I'm willing to roll the dice.
I did get really good lease offers on a G35x ($40,675 MSRP) or EX35 ($43,725) for 24 months for this month - payments around $460/month (tax included) with just inceptions due at signing on either car. So, I'm kinda confused as to what to do. I'd be giving up some cool features that the M has (cooled seats, tilt mirrors, 6 disc in-dash, etc) if I downgraded and went with one of those. Perhaps I'll just ride it out and see what happens.
