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. Make sure to stop by the "BMW 3-Series Prices Paid and Buying Experience" discussion to see how much other community members have paid for similar cars lately.

Dear Car_Man, I have never posted before and would really appreciate your help and advice. I want to lease a 2009 328i sedan in monaco blue. I have never leased a vehicle before. I recieved one quote today for 4000 down, 368 per month but I was not sent the msrp, sale price, residual percentage, invoice price or money factor. I am requesting that info but would really appreciate advice from you on what I sould shoot for in terms of a good deal. Any advice you can give would be much appreciated! I am in southern california. thank you so much!! |

My 2007 Maxima lease is coming due in February 2009, and I've started shopping for a replacement. My favored option is a 2009 328i Wagon. I put less than 10,000 miles per year on my vehicle, so if they offer a 10,000 mile lease that would be what I'm after. My questions are as follows: 1. What are the money factors and residual on this vehicle right now? 2. I know that nobody has a crystal ball, but would your best guess be for these to stay the same, go up, or come down by February? 3. What incentives are currently being offered? The vehicle I'm looking at has a list price of $39,995 and an invoice of $36,880. 4. Generally speaking, how would a lease on a 1-year old used vehicle compare? Thanks for the help!

Replying to: hana80 (Dec 17, 2008 11:41 pm) I have collected all the numbers myself looking on this board. You need to know the MSRP, Lease selling price, money factor, and residual. 2009 BMW 328i Sedan 24 Month – Residual 67% of MSRP – .00150 Base Rate 36 Month – Residual 60% of MSRP – .00150 Base Rate 48 Month – Residual 41% of MSRP – .00285 Base Rate 60 Month – Residual 34% of MSRP – .00285 Base Rate It seems from this board you should shoot for $500 over invoice and shop it around till someone bites. |

First of all, thanks to everyone for the great info on these boards. I think I've collected most of what I need but wanted to double check and get any updates for December. I've put together a spreadsheet with the options (MSRP and invoice) for these cars, where I can just check them off and they add up to the total. The main variables are the money factor and residuals. What's the latest residual and money factors for (I'm in South Florida, not sure if that matters...): 2008: 328i, 36mo lease, 10k miles 335i, 36mo lease, 10k miles 2009: 328i, 36mo lease, 10k miles Thanks a lot!
