Replying to: kyfdx (Dec 14, 2008 5:02 am) The MSRP of the vehicle I am ordering is $39045 and they will be selling me the car at $36909.46. With taxes and MVA at $2418.57 plus $3000 my payment will be $460.30 per month for 36 months X 15,000 miles per year. 1st month payment is included. The MF is .00175 and the residual is 59%. so I spent 5.4 k drive off and have my payment where I want it........ or I am getting ripped off? |

Based on a post I read in October, the lease rates on remaining 2008 335 sedans were: 2008 BMW 335i Sedan 24 Month – Residual 61% of MSRP – .00085 Base Rate 36 Month – Residual 56% of MSRP – .00085 Base Rate 48 Month – Residual 37% of MSRP – .00285 Base Rate 60 Month – Residual 31% of MSRP – .00285 Base Rate Does anyone know if these rates still apply in December, and if not, what the current rates are? Based on the above, a 36 month, 36,000 mile lease is a pretty sweet deal compared to a similarly priced 2009 335 sedan. I have the opportunity to do an early lease turn in on my current car, so leasing a 2008 3 series (if the numbers are right) is a definite option. My other question is whether or not I could realistically get a 2008 model sitting on the lot at or below invoice. Not sure if BMW is willing to slash prices to move 2008 inventory, and I have never leased or purchased a BMW, so I don't know if they are like other car companies who are giving customers $5K or more below invoice just to get cars off the lot. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Replying to: Car_man (Dec 01, 2008 3:32 am) Can you please let me know what money factors and residuals are being offered by BMW FS for the 2009 328CI convertable? I am looking at a 12K/36 month term. Thanks David T

Well it's that time again, haven't been around for about 36 months  If car_man or any other forum member can assist, that would be great. I searched through many pages, however I couldn't find MF and Residual for the 2 variations of the same car below '09 328i Sports Wagon MSRP: 41,695 Sell: 39,385 36 / 15K lease Los Angeles Ca. - South Bay BMW or MSRP: 45,750 Sell: 43,075 36 / 15K Los Angeles, Ca - South Bay BMW Thanks in advance Brian

Replying to: goldenmeeko (Dec 04, 2008 1:11 am) If I was in an area that had a decent level of competition, I definitely would shoot for $500 over dealer invoice and see what happens, but it's tough to say whether BMW's January lease program will be better than its current one.

Replying to: bcampbell001 (Dec 16, 2008 8:23 pm) For either car you're interested in (328 wagon) the MF is 0.002 and the residual is 58% for 36 months & 15K miles. Go all the way to the bottom, and there's other useful stuff -- formulas, definitions, etc. I used to be interested in a wagon also, and I see it's still the same -- the wagon has the highest MF and lowest residual of any of the 328s. The sedan and coupe have better numbers, but I wanted a wagon. Good luck. |

Replying to: ichochochooseu (Dec 12, 2008 1:57 pm) As far as this car's selling price goes, a base 2009 335i has a spread of around $3,200 between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. You are only being given a $1,400 dealer discount on this car. I personally would want a larger discount than that.

Replying to: dt78 (Dec 16, 2008 12:23 pm) 2008 BMW 335i Sedan 24 Month – Residual 61% of MSRP – .00085 Base Rate 36 Month – Residual 56% of MSRP – .00085 Base Rate 48 Month – Residual 36% of MSRP – .00280 Base Rate 60 Month – Residual 30% of MSRP – .00280 Base Rate Given the dealer credit for a free automatic transmission that BMW is currently providing and how late it is in the model year, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to get this car or a little below at dealer invoice, but not five grand under.
