BMW 3-Series Lease Questions

dealer would not come down from MSRP. When I asked why? he brought up two reasons:

1 - all the rebates/incentives are expired on Dec 31st.
2 - they sold a lot of cars during December so inventory is low.

I live in a small town so this is the only dealership around.

#4876 of 5165 what's the catch? by archer636

Jan 19, 2013 (10:43 am)

got this in email:

2013 328i Sedan
$0 down, $0 due at signing, $0 security, $0 first month's payment
Lease for $389 per month/36 months
Residual value equals $24,188. 10,000 miles per year, $0.25 per mile overage. Total due at signing $0. MSRP $38,395. 2013 BMW 328i Sedan. $0 Security Deposit with approved credit for well-qualified lessees. Payment excludes tax, tag, title, registration and dealer fee of $799

this sounds like a really good deal; (even after adding fees and tax). What's the catch here?

Hi archer636. December was definitely a better time to get a new BMW than January is. BMW had a HUGE December and inventory levels are indeed a little on the thin side at some dealers. If you're not in a hurry, you might do better waiting a month or two to get a new 3 Sedan. Of course, as you mentioned, the lack of competition in your area certainly is not helping your ability to negotiate any.

#4880 of 5165 BMW 328XI lease 30 vs 36 month lease by rxke

Jan 25, 2013 (9:31 am)

Hi Car Man

You have been extremely helpful every time I lease a car. I am considering leasing a BMW 328XI in NY. 10k or 12K per year for either 30 month or 36 months. What are the differences in the money factor ad residual value with these examples? Thanks for your help.
