Anyone here from Il? I'm lookin to lease a pretty simple 328i with met paint, AT, and heated seats. The dealer out in Schaumburg had what I wanted, except it had powerseats. He quoted me a price "special" at 1378 over invoice. Basing on what I've read, ppl's experiences with negoatiations there has been ppl getting their cars  near invoice! So I offered barely above invoice, he said it was below invoice. I said no, then he said that doesn't include training and marketing fees, I said it's not for me to pay (but I guess it is?) and that it's already a 6% off of something. I said the profit margin is 8%, he says they don't take holdbacks (although earlier he said none are offered at all). Then he says "Well maybe you should find another dealer." Which more-or-less his way of saying "buzz off jerk". He seemed hesitant to find out the MF and other details. Should've been a sign. And this was the internet manager! Amazing! Any tips on the manner you guys are approaching negotiations? Obviously this one didn't work out!  I figured he'd at least work up from my offer, but nothing! I wasn't trying to swindle the guy or I would've offered below invoice! geez!

Replying to: totowa (Jun 26, 2007 7:50 pm) MSRP 36420 Invoice 33585+ MACO fee Their "special": 34963 (1378 over invoice excluding maco averaged in) 0 down, security deposit of 550, 168 for plates and first mo payment. residual of 68% Mo pay: 527 (with tax) He didn't know the MF, but the RV was better at this dealer. However the monthly payment was waaay higher. In the end when i tried to bring down the CC, he told me to find another dealer.

Hi Car_man, Thanks to your advice I locked in on a good MF on my 328i coupe. Since I ordered my car, it should be arriving end of July or early August. And the MF at the time of signing counts, right? Do you know what buy rate MF is for a 328i coupe for the month of July? Thanks in advance. |

Replying to: kocsi1 (Jun 30, 2007 9:45 am) My experience was that the dealer was pretty upfront and came out close to $1000 over then got him down to that - pushing even further would have been hard going and just sour the whole thing, if not being completely fruitless. |

Hi Car_man, Need your help. I am negotiating a lease for a 335i Coupe. Could you tell me the R and MF for July for a 36 month/ 15,000 miles lease. The dealer is saying that most dealerships in Northern California markup the MF by 0.0004. Is this true? Thank you. |

This is the deal i was offered from SF BMW 07 328i sedan with premium, metallic, steptronic and xenon MSRP $38,975 Selling $37,000 36/12k $1,200 total drive off $481 + tax Internet salesperson claims money factor/apr is set at 1.9% Did anyone from the bay area get a better deal on vehicle with the same configurations? If this is not a good deal, what selling price/and or monthly should i be aiming for. Thanks |

Hi Carman, First of all, thanks for your help. Three years ago I learned enough from your information in this forum to allow me to get a great lease on a Z4. I love that car. Now, that lease is ending next month. I'm looking into a 2007 or 2008 335i Convertible. I was wondering if you have information on the Money Factor and the Residuals for 10k miles per year and either 24 or 36 months. Also, does anyone know if $1000 over invoice is a good number for the cap cost to this car? I'm looking in the NJ, PA area for dealers. Thanks all. |

I want a 2007 328i coupe with : metallic paint, premium sound, sports package, power seats, navigation, comfort access, ipod/usb, automatic. I went to the dealership today and they said the MF have increased since Jul 02 . Is this true? I assumed from reading these posts it would be 1.4. But the manager told me this was only for repeat customers. . ??? Also he was calclating off a 58% RV and a 1.7 MF . . . I know I would have to custom order this car but what kind of lease payment can I really expect? I want to lease 36 mo / 15k and put up to $2000 down . . .Please write back. . .
