The key is to negotiate an outstanding deal on your lease... If your payment is a good deal for someone else, then it's more likely to get assumed... If not, then you can expect to pony up some cash for an incentive..
 
I like the idea of assuming a lease, yourself... That way, your costs are fixed, and you don't have to worry about whether you are going to get rid of the car on time, or for how much...

BMW offering Factory-to-dealer $5000?BMW offering Factory-to-dealer $5000?Hi All - I was wondering if someone can confirm whether or not it's true that BMW is offering dealers $5000 [factory-to-dealer] incentive for June?
 
Is this true and if so where do I find more resource on this so I can take advantage of it
 
Please see my source below: link title

 
"BMW is providing dealers with $5000 factory-to-dealer cash deals on all 5 Series and M5 models that will allow dealers to discount prices heavily on those models — if they choose to do so"
 
Thanks in advance for your response.

You guys are pretty sharp with these numbers and the accompanying jargon (e.g, what is MACO?). But if you guys put just half as much effort into actually BUYING a Bimmer, especially one a couple to three years old with the 50% depreciation already taken, you'd me thousands of dollars ahead.
 
The Mercedes dealer-principal in Maine (there is only MB dealer for the entire state) complained to me years ago that he couldn't make any money. His discount from MSRP was a measley 6% or so and after you discounted the car, you were in the hole. The only way to make money was on leasing. Leasing he continued was a source of easy money with the various fees up front and at the back end plus it was a source of good used cars as the lessors re-upped because they never had any equity. But, he continued, the damn Maineiacs were too contrary to lease and just paid cash for their MB!
 
Show me a guy jumping from one lease to another, and I'll show you a guy who is way over his head and throwing money away. Dealers love you guys.

I've taken over someone's lease on a BMW 550 through leasetrader.com, and I'm now in the process of having someone take over my lease of an '08 535. I think it's been a great experience. I needed a car for just a year before planning a european delivery, so assuming someone else's lease worked out great. The prior owner gave a great incentive which made the car a bargain. Loved the car. We lived about 800 miles apart, so I had an independent mechanic check it out, which cost some money, then flew down and drove the car home. Now my 535 is in the process of being assumed. I need a bigger vehicle at this time, so I in turn am giving an incentive to make it a bargain for someone else. I think it's also a great way to check out different cars if you're into that -- which I am!

My 2007 BMW 5 series lease is ending. I am thinking of buying a 2010 5 Series. I have heard that BMW is redesigning the 5 series in 2011. What are your thoughts on buying the 2010 or trying to lease for 1 year and then buying the 2011? Does anybody know how much will be changed in the redesign?

I need advice by acgrafx

I just realized that I got screwed on my 2007 530i lease.
I pay $720 with $2000 due at signing with 15K miles.
The sticker cost was $51800.
 
It is over in August and I would like your valued advice on how to get a good deal on my next lease. I would like to get this deal closed by the second week in July.
 
Do I mention that my lease is ending?
I would also like to get two leases. Do I negotiate both at the same time? Or do I negotiate one deal and then tell them that I need two leases with the same deal?
 
I just want a base model 2010 528i.
 
What should I negotiate?
What should I expect to pay per month including taxes?
 
I remember seeing a RENT CHARGE of about $5000 in my original lease contract? Did I get royally screwed? Keep in mind that this was my first time and I was overanxious. At the time, I calculated the Money Factor to .00175 and the Cap Cost was $48900 or so.
 
Thanks for all of your help.

You leasing mavens should consider this: well cared for 2006 750i and 750iL sedans, the big boys with the V8 that will run circles around a 3 or a 5 Series, are now down around 40K. Wouldn't coming up with say 10K and buying, actually buying, one of these things for 40K or under be a far better deal than paying the fees upon fees a lease whacks you with??
 
Moreover, at the end of three years you'd have a paid for 7 Series with a still-current body style and some equity. Not either a "disposal fee" or a forced re-up.

I am not sure about that. I am currently leasing a 750Li and don't plan on buying. 7 series are very expensive to maintain after the warranty and free maintenance is over. 2006 CPO should be closer to $45k before I'd jump on it. 5 series leases are great these days since new model will be out next year. The new 7 is already out, depressing the pre '09 7 series residuals.
 
I've bought high end luxury cars for 50% off in the past and learned that between further depreciation and repair costs, I am better off leasing a new one every three years. There's always some sort of subsidy to move these cars these days.
