The $625 acqui. fee is the lowest they'll try to charge, but it is also pure profit, I hear. I'd work more on the total of those up front fees. The ones I read about most often on forums are something called MACO and training fees, and they usually total between $400 and $500. The money factor is set by BMW Financial Services and can't go lower unless you pay multiple refundable security deposits. You can pay up to seven additional S.D.s. Each one will lower your money factor by .00007, but BMW will have $600 of your money for 3 years for each S.D. you pay. They're probably still a good deal, though, if you figure that you'll save about $5.50 a month for each SD that you give them, so you save $200 over the life of the loan for each $600 that you lend BMW, which is an 11% return on your money, I believe.

Hey guys , I am interested in some feedback. I am currently negotiating a lease for a 2008 328 I. Right now the offer on the table is: MSRP $39,200 Selling Price $37,100 $0 Down $547 a month 36 Months 12k Year Money Factor .00100 Residual 67% All taxes and fees are rolled into the monthly. Thoughts????

How are people able to negotiate the residual and money factor? I have talked to 4 different dealerships about a lease and every single one of them has told me that for 36 mos and 10K miles the residual is 64%. They all presented the same MF of .00200 also. Each has said that these are directly from BMW Financial Services and they are not negotiable. How are people getting better MFs and residuals?

Hi Car Man & Kyfdx, I posted my question last week but cant find my own posting to see if it was answered. I'm going to try again. I got a deal over the phone, but when I calculated the math to figure out my monthly lease payments it came out to $490.33, but the salemen told me $459.46. He also told me the amount due at signing is $2,793 , but I calculated $2,475.69. I cant figure out where is coming up with another $317. I'm a single female & I'm going by myself to try & get a good deal. Please review the figures below & let me know what you think. Thank you. BMW 328xi, automatic, leatherrette seats, no extra package, 15000miles, 3yr lease. MSRP $36,350 Residual Value (he said 61%) $22,173.50 Money factor .00165 Due at signing: 1st month $459.46 Security Deposit $0( my BMW lease is up 1-28-08) Bank fee $625 Title fee $0 Reg. Fee $57.75 License fee $0 Tire recycle fee $12.50 Inspection fee $10. Documentation fee $45 No cap reduction fee $0 Sales tax $1,265.98 Please let me know what you think. Is he going to come up with other charges when I go in for the signing? Is he not telling me the correct monthly fee, so he can get me in his office & then tell me it's $490, or did I calculate wrong?

Replying to: futurebmw (Dec 15, 2007 10:09 am) The money factor that I mentioned above is scheduled to run through January 2nd. It is difficult to say what BMW's new January program for this model will be like. If I was in the market for a new 3-Series, I personally would pull the trigger on it before the end of the year. Dealers will be motivated to squeeze as many vehicles in before the end of the money and calendar year that you should be able to negotiate a pretty good deal. Good luck in your hunt for a new car and let us know if you have any other questions. Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum |
