Replying to: gardis (Jan 03, 2009 8:37 pm) Trading a car turns a clear deal into a muddy one. What the dealer gives you in trade varies from one dealer to another so unless you sell your car before you deal you really don't know where you stand. With a 8 year old car with 100k plus miles a dealer isn't going to be interested unless it is pristine and runs like new in which case you should sell it yourself. If the car is rough, no one will want it. Get it detailed and drive it til the wheels fall off. Every month bank the payments then when it finally dies donate it and start searching for a new one. The dealers you talked to don't see you as a serious buyer. From our discussions I don't see you as a serious buyer. Nothing wrong with that, just an impression. You haven't test drove any of the cars you seem interested in so that would be a good first step. You might decide your car compares well enough to keep it. If your present car is dependable you should be able to get another 50k out of it. Me personally, I would never spend 35k on a used car. No way no how. So many fine autos available foreign and domestic brand spanking new with great features safety and value. To each his own -- good luck.

Replying to: abuck (Dec 30, 2008 1:11 pm) Welcome abuck. The most important numbers that you can find out when negotiating a lease are the MSRP and selling price of the car that you want. The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. Without these two numbers A) it is impossible to calculate a lease payment on your own to double check the one that you were quoted and B) it is difficult to tell how much of a dealer discount you are being given. Find out what these numbers are and let us know. I am sure that either myself or another helpful community member will gladly give you their opinion on them.   Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum Replies to this message: abuck (Jan 07, 2009 6:51 am) Car_man (Jan 30, 2009 2:46 am)

Replying to: Car_man (Jan 06, 2009 3:29 am) Carman,   Thanks so much for the response. I went ahead and leased the car on the 2nd of january, in Los Angeles, but i would really appreciate some feedback on my deal, so that in three years I might make a more informed decision and not get stuck in my newbie mistakes. Here are the numbers: 08 528i adding ipod/usb and xenon headlights. 36 mos/12k   MSRP $46,625 Agreed upon price: $43,560 Adjusted Cap (incl 985 driveoff): $44491 residual: $26576 Depreciation:$17915 rent charge:$895 monthly payment (incl tax): $565   So, I guess I should have driven the agreed upon price lower, and then I might have gotten a better deal. classically, I was a bit smitten with the monthly payment, so I am sure I did this whole thing to the dealer's advantage. Would appreciate any feedback to offset the learning curve. Thanks! Replies to this message: Car_man (Jan 30, 2009 2:46 am)

Location West Bloomfield, Michigan.                                MSRP Invoice 528i (Xdrive) 48,100 44,330 Premium 2,400 2,185 Cold Weather 750 685 Xenon lights 900 820 iPod adaptor 400 365                        _______________________                            53,375 49,310   The deal is no money down, 12K miles, 36 months, $769 (including tax)   I don't know the money factor, the residual or the selling price and I am not sure how to find out if they were good even if I knew them.   Would appreciate all insights.
