#4767 of 5204 Best and Worst Run Flat Tires by gizmo29

Nov 16, 2012 (4:46 pm)

What are people's thoughts for tires down the line on run flat 18' with somewhat low profile.
 
Hanook, Kumho, Michelin, Continental ?
 
They all seem to range between 140-220 per tire. Is there a huge difference...

rthakur11,
 
Question for you: Is the sale price you're quoting here, including the $1,000 BMW Holiday manufacturer incentive? I'm in a similar price range on the MSRP of a lease I'm trying to negotiate. I was wondering if you managed to talk them down more than $3,000 without the incentive factored in? That's my goal, but I'm not sure if it's realistic. I'm assuming this price you were quoted includes $1,000 off of what you negotiated them down to off the MSRP. Thanks.

Certainly juliog. Audi Financial Services' November buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 328i xDrive Sedan with 15,000 miles per year are .00130 and 58% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
 
When negotiating your deal on this car, make sure to take advantage of the $1,000 cash incentive that is currently available on it.

Thanks and you're welcome rthakur11.
 
Let's take a look at this deal. The money factor that you were quoted is right on the money. So is the acquisition fee. The dealer invoice price of the car that you are interested in is $43,865. If we subtract the available $1,000 holiday cash from that it drops to $42,865. That puts you at around $1,200 or so over invoice. That's not bad, but if you are in an area that has a decent level of competition, I wouldn't be surprised if you were able to shave a couple hundred dollars off of that by shopping around. I suppose it depends upon how much time you have.

Here's the information that you're looking for warbern. BMW Financial Services' November buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 24-month lease of a 2013 328i Sedan with 12,000 miles per year are .00130 and 66% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tiers.
 
The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of a 335i Sedan are .00130 and 66%...interesting, they're the same.
 
The residual values for leases with only 10,000 miles per year would be 1% higher.
 
BMW's current programs are scheduled to run through the end of the year, however it is possible that it will make an unscheduled enhancement to it's December programs. Only time will tell, but BMW is locked in a heated battle with Mercedes-Benz for the U.S. sales title so anything is possible.

Hi Gizmo. The answer to your question is no...and yes. While I believe that BMW's programs are technically national and do not usually vary by region meaning that the same lease program and cash incentives should be available everywhere, the competition amongst dealers is much stiffer in certain parts of the country. As a result, you will often see consumers in major metropolitan areas like Los Angeles or New York getting better deals than consumers in less populated areas.
 
BMW wouldn't require anyone to put another 10% down on a lease to approve them. They might however not approve you at the lowest possible money factor so the dealer would need more money down from you to achieve the same monthly payment. Consumers can and should lease any vehicle they want without making any sort of capitalized cost reduction.
 
Having said all of this, the selling price that you were quoted for this car isn't terrible.
