#2557 of 3200 Re: 2008 335 and 650 convert lease rates [Car_man] by earth777 Nov 22, 2008 (12:57 am)
Replying to: Car_man (Nov 16, 2008 5:57 pm) Car_man, thanks for the reply. I need your help with one more thing as i am getting the runaround from BMW dealerships here in Cali.   Here is my plan (questions below): Since the current program ends Dec 31, i plan to place an order for a European delivery and lock the rates 90 days from Dec 31. So by Mar 31, 2009, i would sign the lease and fly in April to Germany for pick up.   Question 1) Does the above plan make sense? Question 2) I am being told that BMW changed the rules and can now only lock the Money factor for 90 days (west coast) but NOT the residual. Have you heard of such a change?   Thanks!

#2560 of 3200 New Lease on Dec 08 or wait till Jan 09??? by paowow Nov 24, 2008 (3:03 pm)
My 325i lease is due on Jan 31, 09 and I am wondering if I should get a new lease (considering 2009 328i Sedan) on Dec of this year to get a better deal or wait till Jan. of next year.   People tells me that End of the year deals are the best, but with recent struggles in economy, I wonder if BMW will come up with better deal in Jan. 09, when sales are usually low.   Thanks in advance!

#2562 of 3200 Re: Carman! Help please: Lease terms for 2009 335i coupe [skywalker7] by Car_man HOST Nov 25, 2008 (3:22 am)
Replying to: skywalker7 (Nov 18, 2008 11:03 am) Thanks Peter. Here's the information that you're looking for. BMW Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 335i Coupe with 12,000 miles per year are .00200 and 61%, respectively. If you opt to have your car's security deposit (equivalent to your car's monthly payment rounded up to the nearest $50 increment) waived, the money factor will be .00015 higher.   You can find out the exact spread between this car's MSRP and dealer invoice price by looking it up over in the New Vehicle Pricing section of Edmunds.com.   Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum Replies to this message: yachtsrus (Nov 25, 2008 4:00 pm) Car_man (Dec 01, 2008 3:21 am)

Replying to: tennberg (Nov 19, 2008 7:58 pm) Hi tennberg. BMW Financial Services recently raised its base acquisition fee to $725. The dealer that you are working with is marking that up by a couple hundred dollars.   Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum

Replying to: earth777 (Nov 22, 2008 12:57 am) No problem, earth777. I have not heard that BMW allows consumers to lock in money factors, but not residual values...but anything is possible in the current environment. BMW has been getting killed by the residual values that it has overestimated over the years. The only thing that has saved it from some of the pain is that it crams so many CPO vehicles down dealers throats.   Locking in a money factor only makes sense if one can lock in the residual value as well because automakers often lower their money factors as the model year progresses to make up for the natural decline that vehicles' residuals experience.   Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum Replies to this message: earth777 (Nov 26, 2008 12:52 pm)
