Does anyone where I can go to find out the current MF for BMWFS? I will be leasing a vehicle that is on order sometime in May, maybe June and want to be sure that I am an educated negotiator. Please advise.

Does anyone know what happens if your registration is expired when you return the car at lease end? I am leasing a new BMW and I do not want to have to pay 2 registration fees, so I let my current registration expire. Would that cause any problems for me? I'd appreciate any insight. Thanks! |

The vehicle I test drove had an MSRP of $36,345, which included an automatic transmission, the premium package, heated front seats, and radio prep. What should I expect to pay for such a car over 36 months and 10,000 miles per year? The dealer mentioned something about a BMW bank loan with an exit clause that resembled a lease, but without the full tax on the car that is required in Chicago, IL. I have good credit and was am willing to put $2500 down. Any advice on how to structure the lease or negotiate a price is much appreciated.

Replying to: snq310 (May 05, 2006 7:23 pm) The loan that the dealer mentioned to you sounds like a balloon note. Balloon notes are very similar to leases in that they provide consumers with low monthly payments and the option to purchase their vehicles after a specific period of time for a predetermined price. Balloon notes are not nearly as popular as leases. The really only seem to be used in areas that have tax rules that make them more attractive than leases, like your area. You really shouldn't make such a large down payment when leasing. If your lease BMW is stolen or totaled in an accident before the scheduled end of your lease, your down payment will essentially disappear. Consumers are free to lease any vehicle that they would like without making any capitalized cost reduction. All you will have to pay at lease signing is your car's first month's payment, a security deposit that is equivalent to that payment rounded up to the nearest $50 increment, BMW FS' $625 acquisition fee, and any required state taxes or fees.
