Hi investor27. Manufacturers' official advertised lease payments, which is what you saw here, never include sales tax. Not only does not including tax make the payment look better, but it actually makes sense because the method for calculating sales tax on vehicles varies from state to state while this is a national ad.
 
Savvy consumers who are in an area that has a decent level of competition are usually able to negotiate a better deal than manufacturers' official advertised leases. This makes sense if one thinks about it. Dealers would be pretty darn annoyed if their manufacturer went around advertising the skinniest possible deal on a vehicle. Shop around for the lowest possible selling price and then have the dealer that you go with calculate your car's payment using its buy rate lease money factor.

BMW 328i Coupe lease question by sean39
May 14, 2009 (6:49 pm)

Car_man & company,
 
I am considering leasing a new 328i coupe through BMW's current lease promo. I am trying to figure out how low I would need to get the MSRP on the car in order to get my payments to the mid 400's with tax. I am also hoping for an increase in mileage allowance.
 
Thier current promo is:
 $429*/month for 36 months (Based in a 42K model)
 
• $429 First months payment
• $3,150 Down payment
• $450 Security Deposit
• $725 Acquisition fee
• $4,754 Cash due at signing
 
The 328 Coupe I would like to lease has an MSRP of $41,575.
 
Im not sure what thier current lease factors/numbers are or exactly how low I can expect to get the deal. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks in advance,
Sean

Hi. I need the money factor and residual for the 2009 328i with auto and sport package. And the same for the 328 coupe, auto and sport package. I've seen that they offer the 328, premium and auto trans for 369 a month. If i change the premium for the sport, the price is almost the same but i don't know if the offer is just for the one with the premium package. I live in Miami Dade area. Thanks

Hello car_man and you good people,
 
Kudos and thank you for such an informative forum. I have a few quick questions. I am in the market and finalizing my BMW lease deal with a dealership in town. Questions I have that would help me understand the options given to me are:
1. What is the current (May, 2009) money factor for 2009 BMW 328i convertible? 36 months versus 42 months.
2. What is the % residual for a 36 months 10,000 miles/year lease?
3. What is the % residual for a 42 months 10,000 miles/year lease?
4. What is BMW's lease acquisition fee for this vehicle?
 
The MSRP of this vehicle with options is $53,900.
 
Thank you in advance!!
-Rez

I had a bad experience with a delear trying to lease a 328xi with 15000 mi. He was very elusive and difficult to work with. What is the best way to approach a lease? Should I call the dealers, instead of wasting my time in person, and ask over the phone what they have in stock, what is the selling price, % residual and money factor?
 
He gave me a selling price of about 42,000 on a 328xi, 15k/mi/yr premiumpckge, cold weather package for 560/ month plus 3700 due at signing for taxes, 1st month down payment and acquisition fee. Appreciate any help.

2009 328I Lease - NY by mike141
May 25, 2009 (12:32 pm)

Car man, can you let me know if this is a good lease?
 
328I
MSRP: $42,695
Sales Price: $39,795
Edmunds Invoice: $39,315
Final Price with $2K down payment = $37,795
 
12K miles a year / 36 months
59% residual and the base factor is .00220
$458.73 monthly payment with out taxes included
 
My question is do I have more room to negotiate the sales price since since BMW is offering a credit for auto transmission. The residual and base factor appear to be okay per the previous message boards.
 
Thanks for your input

Tax question in Maryland by dong84
May 25, 2009 (9:48 pm)

Hi all,
 
Thank you in advance for answering all of my previous questions!
 
I am almost getting my first ever BMW in my life.
 
I will purchase a 328i coupe with no option.
 
But I just cannot figure out taxes on the vehicle. Do I have to pay taxes on total price of car, or I just need to pay a portion of car price I used. The dealer kept saying I need to pay taxes on the total price, but I would like to make sure.
 
If anyone know the info, would you please let me know? or send me link on any Maryland website at dhyun4hotmail.com.
 
Thanks.

2009 328xi Coupe Incentives by su70

Hello All -
 
I currently have a 2009 Coupe on order for May delivery with a money factor rate of .0017 but see that the rate for May is .0015. Can I get the .0015 rate on my deal? Also read about a $1850 credit for auto transmission available on 328xi. Is this available on coupe as well as sedan and how can I get this worked into my deal on the car I have on order? Any other May over April incentives that I should be discussing when I go to pick up this car?
 
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi I will also go to the dealer within a week to order for May delivery. I have a couple of questions. When you ordered for May delivery, did you have to put a deposit on it? The dealer asked me to put a 1K to delivery it.
 
I just saw yesterday at BMWUSA.com that there is now $1K cash incentive for BMW328 coupe. I guess you can use it as well. good luck.
 
Would you please share with your deal with me if you dont mine?
 
My email is dhyun4hotmail.com.
 
My deal is 328i coupe without any option and 500 a month 12 k for 36 month.
 
Money factor is .0015 and residual value is 60%
 
Thanks.
