This is my current deal CarMan..what do you think?
 
2009 335i Sedan
MSRP: $48,375
Cap Cost: $43,855 ( Option Credit of $1,260 applied)
Invoice : $44,455
TMV: $45,400
 
Seems to me after taking out the $1,260 credit, I'm about $660 over invoice. Should I be at invoice?
 
36 months
12,000 miles/year
Residual: 58% or $28,057.50
MF: .00225
Option Credit: $1,260
Lease Rebate : $1,000
  
Total Inception fees: $2833.26 - $1,000 (lease rebate) = Final driveoff $1833.41 includes $700 security deposit.
 
I'm not paying any cap costs upfront, just inception fees.
725 Acquisition fee
45 plus tax Doc Fee
659 First month
700 deposit
630 plus tax Registration/License
  
Monthly payment: 600.72 plus tax=$659.18 (9.75% CA tax)

I dont remember what the MSRP or invoice price was. For the most part I go by the bottom line. The price was given to me by an auto broker, not a local dealer in South Fla. Delivery might cost me $300.00. My local dealser squote me 596.00 and 616.00 showing the car at around 35K approx if I remember correctly. If you take these quotes here and multiply by the money facotr and residual of 59% you can get what they want "for the car. According to this salesman who is a straight shooter he claims the residuals are actually too high. He has worked at several luxury dealers and is a top salesman. He thinks that at 59% they need to sell the car for 23,000 approx and that 18K or so is a more relaistic price. He also mentioned that the 7 series sold like crazy but once the residual went way down, so did sales. I am confused on this one since the broker had such a great deal for this car...

Confused by aht

I'm a bit confused by the posts and the rebates/incentives. For a new 3-series, one of the threads by CarMan notes that the money factor incentive in July is 0.0025 and residual of 59%. There's also cash back offers.
 
1) What is the 1260 option offer? What does that cover and to which vehicles does it apply?
 
2) The BMW website has special lease offers that seem very very attractive. If you plug in their numbers into a lease calculator (including MSRP and residual values), the only way to come up with monthly payments that low is to lower the money factor to 0.00115 (even while accounting for cap cost reductions and incentives). Is this real or what? Can these numbers be applied to any cars or are they just B.S.
 
3) My dealer is offering 0.00225 with 60% residual on a 328i xDrive with premium, cold package, and ipod and MSRP around 43050. He says that with just fees upfront, my monthly payments are around 550. Plugging these into the calculator places the sale price at around 40,500. Is this reasonable? It seems a bit high given the rebates etc.
 
Thanks...

Leasing a 335i coupe by rjg001

I'm considering leasing a 2009 335i coupe. If I do, I'll be ordering with a manual transmission so I won't be taking advantage of any free steptronic incentive if there is one. I'm currently leasing a 2006 325i so I assume I would qualify for any loyalty incentive that might exist.
 
Do we know what the residual and money factor for this car are for July? I know the $1k incentive is still around. Anything else in the way of incentives that I might qualify for?

July 335i lease numbers by texashoser

Anyone have updated leasing info and incentives for July? Dealer in Austin quoted me 58% residual for 12k on a 335i premium/sport package. But the money factor is terrible at .00265 (6.34%). Other than the 'free' auto trans, there appear to be no lease cash offers and no sales tax credits at this time. Sales tax credits are very useful in Texas as we have to pay the sales tax on the entire sales price of the vehicle.

July lease numbers can be found here:

Bmwusa.com is still showing a $1,000 cash incentive on 3 series leases. I'm probably going to buy this time around with 1.9% financing available.

Thanks. It appears the dealer here in Austin is giving me the money factor for a 48 month lease... Also, I see now the $1,000 lease cash. Just a couple of days ago, their lease special was showing a free auto transmission.

Hi tracknu. BMW is providing support on two year leases of this car...but a two year lease will still have a much higher monthly payment than a three year lease. Here's why. New vehicle's experience their most rapid drop in value during the first year of ownership. A 36 month lease gives lessees 12 more monthly payments to spread this initial depreciation hit out over.
