Hey miked24. The money factor that you were quoted is right in line with BMW Financial Services' buy rate for a 36 month lease of this car with a waived security deposit. That is a good thing because it means that the dealer that you are working with is not marking it up. They are marking up the acquisition fee $200 though. The selling price that you were quoted for this car, an $1,175 discount isn't bad but there is still enough room here that if you are in an area that has a decent level of competition it wouldn't hurt to shop around to see if you can beat this price. Make sure to stop by the following discussion to see how much other community members have paid for similar cars lately: "BMW 3-Series: Prices Paid & Buying Experience".

Hi jena23. The dealer invoice price of the car that you described is $36,365. That puts the price that you were offered at around $1,380 over invoice which isn't bad. There's still enough room there that it wouldn't hurt to shop around to see if you can beat this price, but this is a pretty good deal. Just make sure that the dealer that you lease through uses BMW Financial Services buy rate lease money factor of .00125 (through 4/2) to calculate your monthly payment.

Hi kodachrome22. What selling price are you being given on this car? This is a very important number to find out when leasing. The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. You need to negotiate as low a selling price as possible on the vehicle that you want to lease. The problem that I personally have with demo vehicles is that dealers never seem to be willing to discount them enough for me to justify purchasing what essentially is a low mileage used vehicle over a similar brand new one.

Greetings 07bimmer. It never hurts to comparison shop with a few dealers in your area before finalizing a deal, but an $1,875 discount on this car is pretty good. Just make sure that the dealer that you are working with uses BMW Financial Services' buy rate lease money factor to calculate your monthly payment and you're in business. Through April 2nd, BMW FS' buy rate for a 36 month lease of a 2007 328xi is .00175.

Hi Mark. A $2,000 discount on this car is pretty good. It never hurts to comparison shop with a few dealers before finalizing one's deal, but this is a reasonable discount on this car. You're right, the dealer that you are working with is attempting to mark up BMW Financial Services $625 acquisition fee by $200, so you are essentially only getting an $1,800 discount on this car...which still isn't bad. Make sure that the dealer uses BMW FS' buy rate lease money factor to calculate your monthly payment and you're all set.

P.S. You would be better off if you don't make any capitalized cost reduction when leasing.

Car_man,
The salesman is telling me that since he's discounted the car show much--AND thrown in the BMW mats, he's got to markup the MF. I've protested, but so far, no luck. This is the 5th dealer I've worked with in an attempt to get a car. His price is fair--MF not. Two other dealers did not markup the MF--one made up the difference in the selling price and wouldn't budge--the other was my local dealer who made a deal with me--then apparently didn't like the deal and backed out-even with a deposit, signed, sealed, etc.. They've offered to make it up to me--but I'm done even attempting to do business with them.
The other dealers all marked up the MF the BMW max. of .0004-and actually laughed when I asked for the base rate. Maybe it's the southeast region--maybe there's not as much competition--but I am having a heck of a time buying a car!
Thanks very much for your input--I am going to make one more stab at this thing--try to get a car--and get the base MF rate.

Car_man -- thanks for all the useful input. I can see why it might take awhile between visits to any specific leasing board.
You mentioned frequently that the money factors you were using are valid through midnight tonight. When you can, I'd appreciate hearing what they'll be, going forward, particularly on the 3-series sport wagon (RWD, if it matters).
TIA.
