#4902 of 5171 2013 x3 lease question by epry

Feb 08, 2013 (10:23 am)

Hi Car_Man,
How does this deal sound to you? First, I am not sure how to determine what the "real" invoice price is since the dealer seems to show me one price as invoice, but I can be certain that is not his invoice price. With all the being said, I am trying to build a X3 since there does not seem to be any in the BMW system that have the specs that I want...performance package, entertainment package minus navigation,etc.
Price $43745
Factor .00135
Residual 61% or 26684
Supposedly we are getting $1500 off the price for loyalty.
Please advise. Thanks so much!
Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth. This is the 3-Series Lease Questions discussion. Please post any questions that you have on the X3 in the X3 discussion:

Thanks .
 
In answer to your question. You can look up this vehicle's dealer invoice price right here at Edmunds.com in the New Vehicle Pricing section of the site. I always advise consumers to use this number when determining a selling price. Yes, the dealer is going to claim that there are other charges that aren't included, but the manufacturer kicks money back to the dealer that isn't included as well. The pricing data here makes a good starting place to figure out a price to offer. If I was in the market for an X3 in an area that had a decent level of competition, I personally would shoot for $1,000 or so over the invoice price that is listed here minus any available cash incentives.
 
There is a $750 loyalty cash incentive on the '13 X3 right now. BMW just began waiving the first month's payment for returning lessees as well.

#4906 of 5171 2013 328i Sport of M Sport Lease by 1995e36m3

Feb 10, 2013 (9:22 am)

Hello,
 
I am looking to lease a 2013 328i manual with Sport or M Sport package. No sure of the color or options, but I know I need 16K miles per year. If I go with a 328i Sport with red paint, sunroof and heated seats the invoice price is $38,660. What's a good price for this car? $500 over invoice? What would a lease payment be with zero down? If I add the M Sport package I could live without a sunroof and heated seats. Invoice would be $38,480. Do the Sport and M Sport packages change the residuals? Thanks in advance for any help. Really looking forward to getting back into a BMW after 10 years driving other marques.

Hi there,
Thanks for the response. The dealer is trying to charge me $598 (including tax) with a price of $43,251 on a 36 month/10K miles per year. Not sure how they are deriving this price based on the quoted money factor (.0016). Not sure where to go from here...when I explain that I am seeking help (you), they tell me some sort of BS. Wish I could just get a straight answer from them! Thanks for your insight!
