Car_man,
 
Have you had a chance to look at the new Sept lease program?

Hi jpy. Yes, I have had an opportunity to take a look at BMW's new September lease program. I would be happy to give you an idea of what it is like if you tell me what model are you interested in, how long do you want to lease it for, and how many miles per year do you need to be able to drive it.

I am in the market for a 3 year/12k mile lease on a 330i (with Auto, Premium and Cold Weather). What is the Sept base money factor and residual value? I am receiving conflicting info from dealers in my area...

Hi ultimate_dm. According to the latest information that I have seen, if you were to leasen a 2006 BMW 330i through BMW Financial Services right now for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00250 and 62%, respectively.

#9 of 5172 Residual Value by moneyb24

Sep 15, 2005 (5:33 am)

I am about to lease a 06 330i demo for 36 months and 10k per year (I plan on purchasing at the end). MSRP is 42070. I have been offered price of 38975. (will negotiate lower to about 38000-38250, otherwise i wont buy it). But the quote sheet has an adjusted residual of 26315. That number is not 62% of either the MSRP or the quoted price. How is that number calculated? It seems too high when my payments total 18536.04 (514.89/month x36) (MF is .0025). Should the purchase price at the end be lower? Is the residual the acual lease buy-out at the end? Is the buy-out negotiable?
 
Also, do you think BMW dealerships should be more flexible in negotiating a sale price when they sell a demo car? The do give and extra 3months/5,000 miles on the warranty, but the car is still slightly used (1500miles). What should be the highest price I should pay on this car? I think 38975 is too high. The edmunds invoice is 38250. should that be my highest on this demo? Should I shoot for 38000? I appreciate the advice and help.
 
I want to make sure i am getting a really good deal on this car since it is not "new" even though it looks perfect. I initially was going to buy a 06 325i but this demo was a seemingly good alterative. This is my first car purchase I dont want to get screwed.

In my experience, demos are rarely discounted enough to make them a good buy..
 
But, getting to your residual question... I'm sure the residual is being reduced a certain amount, to account for the extra mileage already on the car.... Maybe $0.10, $0.15 or $0.20 per mile.... Play with the calculations and see if that makes the numbers come out right....
