Replying to: Car_man (Jan 14, 2009 3:45 am) In general, are the money factor and residual you mentioned just the advertised numbers, and can you possibly negotiate them, or are they final numbers? Thanks in advance

Replying to: peteynorge (Jan 14, 2009 11:42 am) The money factors and residual values that I mention in these forums are the best available deal. Dealers do not have the authority to alter banks' published residual values, but they are often allowed to mark up their money factors to add additional, hidden back-end profit to deals. BMW dealers are notorious for marking up money factors. This is why it is important that you check that you are being charged the buy rate any time you lease one.

Replying to: joesao (Jan 13, 2009 5:50 pm) I think you get it mix up. Just becaue you know the cost of how much they pay for the car does not mean they have to sell it at invoice + x dollars (fill in the blank for your favorite x). Car price are supply and demand driven and it is very local in nature. If dealer has customers line up to take delivery of a particular car at MSRP, why would he want to sell you the car at invoice + x? In the same token, if he has large number of cars sittting on his lots, he will be much more willing to lower the price.. The best way is to shop around. If there is only 3 dealerships around your area, best way is to widen your search to neighboring city. At the extreme case, you can fly to LA and pick up a car there. LA seems to be the most competitive area for most any cars.. Good luck. |

I appreciate all the great advice on this forum. I wish I'd known about it sooner! Anyway, I'm looking to lease a 335i sedan for 36 months w/12k miles a year. I've seen an 09 advertised locally for $699 a month inc. tax for premium, sport, ipod adapter etc., with $2,000 drive off. Is that a good deal? I'm in Southern California so I have plenty of dealers to choose from. Before I visit any, can someone tell me what I need to ask and how will I know if I'm getting a good deal? Thanks!

I just heard of a new $1,500 rebate on 2009 328i's that are in stock. I knew some sort of "stimulus" from the mother ship would come because BMW has piling inventories across the US. Any other news out there? Has the MF or residual been changed for February? Is it expected to change, in addition to this rebate? Thanks.

Hello, My 36-month, 36,000-mile lease will be up in July this year. During a recent service, I learned that my rear Bridgestone Potenzas are worn out and will need to be replaced (almost 28,000 miles). Front are borderline and per the dealer would likely carry me through for another 3-4K miles, which I will end up driving until July. Should I get the dealer to replace them? I shopped around (Toledo, OH) and there isn't much difference in prices compared to other local tire shops. Are used tires available? I just feel bad and don't want to replace them with new, just to turn around and return the car. Any other options or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you and have a great day. |
