Replying to: speedy19 (Oct 21, 2005 9:52 pm) 2) The acquisition fee is charged by the bank (BMWFS).. Virtually every lending institution charges this on their leases... You can consider extra profit for the bank.. but, a bank takes a lot more risk on a lease than they do a normal car loan... Not only do they have to worry about you making your payments, etc.. but, they also have a residual value risk... So, while the lease program on the 325i isn't anything special, I'd say you are getting just about the best deal possible.... BTW, the acquisition fee isn't included in your drive-off payment... It is rolled into your cap cost and your monthly payment (which is the way I like it). Good luck today! kyfdx Host-Prices Paid Forums

Replying to: ikmarco (Oct 22, 2005 7:47 am) Are you sure you'll need all of those miles? This raises your payment about $57/mo. over a 15K/year lease.. 2) Why is the cap cost almost $1100 higher than the agreed upon price? Are you rolling over some negative equity from a trade-in? If not, then this number troubles me.. 3) It appears that the dealer is using the base money factor, and acquisition fee.. The $1500 discount from MSRP is pretty good at this low price level.. 4) Sales tax isn't included in these numbers, right? Unless that is where the $1100 extra in the cap cost comes from.. 5) At 15K mi./yr, the payment would drop to $475/mo. regards, kyfdx Host-Prices Paid Forums

Replying to: kyfdx (Oct 22, 2005 11:43 am) Unfortunately, yes I believe I will need approx 18-20k. BMW offers to reimburse any unused miles (over 15k) so it seems cheeper to buy the additional 5k miles upfront versus at termination which .16/mile. I am not trading anything in at all. I'm not sure about the Capital cost number - ? but, Yes, the payment includes tax. These are total numbers.

Replying to: ikmarco (Oct 22, 2005 2:00 pm) But.. If the cost at lease termination is $0.16/mi., and you are paying $0.15/mi. upfront... that isn't much of a savings... Actually, I believe the cost at termination is $0.20/mi... The $0.16/mi. is what you pay to upgrade during the lease term.. You might consider signing up for 18K mi./year... That would drop your payment by about $20-$22 per month.. You can always reassess after 2 years, and then purchase any extra mileage needed for $016/mi. at that time.. Because buying too many miles will quickly erode any savings you might get.. Either way... you did well!! regards, kyfdx Host-Prices Paid Forums
