#2227 of 3224 Re: Lease Rates for the 328 Conv. [stvroy] by Car_man HOST Mar 31, 2008 (1:59 am)
Replying to: stvroy (Mar 09, 2008 5:15 pm) Hi stvroy. BMW's current lease program is scheduled to run through April 30th. While anything is possible, I personally don't expect BMW to make any changes to the 3-Series Convertible's lease program before the beginning of May. It's difficult to say whether BMW will enhance its lease program on this car then. It has started providing a little support on 3-Series Convertibles, first with the inventory cash payments in February and now with a slightly enhanced money factor, so the trend is your friend if you decide to wait. However, we're already into spring and headed towards summer (man I can't believe that it's almost April already) and convertibles usually sell better when its warm out than they do during the winter so perhaps BMW won't have to enhance its support on it. If you decide to order a car, BMW has a program that will enable you to lock in its current lease program. The advantage of doing this is if this car's lease program gets worse you can take advantage of the current one when your car arrives. If the program gets better, you can get out of your rate lock and take advantage of the new, improved program. Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum

Replying to: yatzee (Mar 12, 2008 5:07 pm) Hey yatzee. As boe747lcf just helpfully posted, BMW Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor for the 2008 328i Sedan is .00175. As far as the acquisition fee goes, BMW FS charges a $625 acquisition fee in every vehicle that it leases. The dealer that you are working with is marking up the base acquisition fee to add $200 additional hidden profit to your deal. This sort of thing is very common amongst BMW dealers. There's really nothing wrong with it, as long as you are aware of this profit and take it into account during your negotiations. Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum

Replying to: paws101 (Mar 27, 2008 4:20 pm) Hi paws101. The money factor that you were quoted is right in line with BMW Financial Services' current buy rate for this model, so that is a good sign. As far as the selling price goes, the car that you described probably has a spread of around $3,000 between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. Given the fact that you are in an area that likely has a number of BMW dealers, you may be able to do better than the $1,330 discount that you were quoted by comparison shopping with a few other dealers in your area.

Replying to: Car_man (Mar 31, 2008 2:17 am) Hi Car man thanks for the reply- just one other quick question when I'm figuring the actual monthly payment the formula is: final negotiated price + residual payment x MF= finance charge per month then I divide the depreciation over lease term and add that amount to the finance charge which should be the monthly payment. how does NJ add the sales tax is it to the final monthly payment amount?

Replying to: stan371 (Mar 27, 2008 3:18 pm) MSDs = Multiple Security Deposits. I believe that Edmunds does not permit me to tell the name of the sales associate, and you do not have your e-mail posted, therefore, I cannot tell you.

Replying to: samchen (Apr 01, 2008 6:31 pm) Thanks for the link for BMW Lease rate, I was able to calculate my base monthly payment. I have one question though, does the base monthly payment calculated does not include Taxes. Should it be included? I live in NJ and Sales tax is 7%, so if the CapCost of 37,000 then tax is $2590/36 months which will give $71.94 per month. Is this added to the calculated monthly base payment ? I am returning 325i BMW lease due next Month , I am trying to learn to get the best possible and affordable monthly payments I can with $1,000 due on signing. thanks for your help guys, I love this site!
