Buy Rates/Residuals for Nov 2008 on 328i by nc_driver1
Nov 06, 2008 (11:21 am)
Reply
Hi,
I am looking into leasing a 328i model, 2008 or 2009 .
 
Although the current offer on a 2008 328i w premium package seems attractive-$369/mo w $3269 cash due at signing, 30K miles for the life of the lease, I wish I have some additional information to reference to.
 
Therefore, I would very much appreciate any insight about this current offer, the November rates and whether December lease rates are historically better.
 
Thanks so much in advance .

Hi chuck. BMW Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 24 month lease of a 2008 328i Sedan with 12,000 miles per year are .00075 and 63%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 36 month lease are .00075 and 58%.
 
BMW Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 24 month lease of a 2009 328i Sedan with 12,000 miles per year are .00150 and 70%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 36 month lease are .00150 and 62%.
 
If you were to lease with only 10,000 miles per year, these cars' residual values would be 1% higher. BMW FS' residual value adders are 2% for 12k leases and 3% for 10k leases.

MF and Residuals on Pre-Owned 328xi by scottyt24

Hello-
 
Local dealer has a 328xi that was a demo with about 10,000 miles. While I have not been to see the vehicle, was just curious if anyone knew how lease deals worked with pre-owned cars. I would assume that there is still residual and money factors involved? Any idea on typically how these work?
 
Thanks

Welcome goldenmeeko. You really need to understand how leasing works before negotiating with any dealers. If you don't there is a good chance that you are going to be taken advantage of. The following informative articles that are available here at Edmunds.com will give you an idea of how leasing works: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.
 
In short, the best way to get a good deal on a leased vehicle is to negotiate as low a selling price as possible on the car that you are interested in and then have the dealer calculate your monthly payment using its buy rate lease money factor.

Here you go, trinityklm. BMW Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 328xi Wagon with 15,000 miles per year are .00190 and 54%, respectively. It appears as though the dealer that you are working with is marking up your money factor.

Hi nc_driver1. As a rule of thumb, savvy consumers who comparison shop in an area that has a decent level off competition are almost always able to beat manufacturers' official advertised lease payments. If I was in the market for a 328i right now, I personally would shoot for a selling price of $500 over dealer invoice and the use of BMW FS's buy rate (.00075) and see what happens.
 
Make sure to stop by the discussion "BMW 3-Series Prices Paid and Buying Experience" for additional feedback on what sort of selling price you should pay on this car right now.
 
Good luck and let us know if you have any other questions.

Thanx CarMan.
 
To recap Nov rates: money factor for a 2008 328i is .00075, residual 58% for 36 mo lease w 12k miles/year.
 
Do you expect the December rates to be better than current ones?
 
Thank you again.

Car_Man,
 
Do you by any chance have the MF and Residual for a 2009 328i for a 36 month lease with 12K miles/year.
 
Thank you!

Thanks. So the money factor is still 0.00075 even with 15miles/year? And if they mark it up, how do I argue that I know it is only 0.00075? Is this public info?
 
Thanks

Thanks Matt and Carman. do you guys have the Nov. rates for 2009 models? Also, any thoughts if BMW will sweeten the deal in December given their most recent earnings announcement?
