I got out of 3 leases on swapalease. Just paid the $150 and posted the ad and pictures. Wait for responses, show the car and file the paperwork. The sales tax is paid montly based on the county of registration so will change if your county is different (at least in CA). I have had three seamless transactions (2 BMW and 1 Mercedes). The person interested actually has to have credit to qualify for the sames terms as your lease was aquired under.

What do you think of this deal I just negotiated on a 535xi lease with cold weather, navi, satelite radio, ipod adapter?
MSRP: $60,670
Adjusted cap cost with $2,500 BMW rebate = $56,133.07
3 year lease, 15,000 miles per year
Money rate: .00175
Residual: 58%
No money down
$798.33 per month
Is this a good deal?

Wow, $28,800 total for a lease on a car, at the end of which you give the keys back and get nothing. That comes to exactly half the total value of the new vehicle. Am I nuts, or is this whole world off its rocker??

Same Old Question: Lease or Buy?

Guys,
I have a friend asking me the age old question: do I lease, or do I buy.
She's a teacher, not a lot of money to spend, currently ending lease on a Jetta.
My gut says buy, not lease. Where am I going wrong?

Unless there are known problems with the Jetta, she should buy it. She should have enough equity after a couple of years to have a down payment on her next car. Some professions have lease advantages, but teaching is not one of them.

I have a leased BMW and just purchased a certified preowned BMW. Same payment. 2008 528i lease, 2007 550i preowned purchased. A lot more car with the 550i, same monthly payment. I have a warranty until 2013 on the 550i. I am building equity vs. just handing in the lease.
If you buy, buy used (preferrably certified for warranty) and buy a car with good residual value. e.g you dont want to be upside down at any point.

Or how about after 36 months I will turn my car in and get a brand new one. I wont be stuck with a car that I am upsidedown on a loan for, rolling negative equity into a vehicle for eternity... or until i decide i am going to drive a car for 10 years, or die. No matter how you look at it, a car is ALWAYS a poor investment, and should never be looked at as such. I dont need a car to give me any sort of return or "show" me anything after a few years. Thats why I own real estate and make other invsetments that will yeild a return. A lease makes the most sense if you want a new car every couple of years and want the lowest paymet possible. If I decide that every 3 years I will get a new one, buying would be a huge mistake.
BTW, after 3 years you get the keys to a brand new car with NO negative equity. so in reality you are getting a lot, especially for the money

That sounds like a good deal compared to what I've been seeing. Other than the $2,500 rebate I have not been offered any additional reductions off msrp (from multiple dealers in the NYC and surrounding areas).
