Leasing a 2009 BMW 550i by dday1

I am interested in leasing a 2009 BMW 550i with 7000 miles. Interested in leasing for 3 to 4 years, 15k per year. In negotiating the lease, what residual values and MF would you use? BTW, MSRP was $74k and current price is $62k. Thanks,

Leasing a used car seldom makes sense. With you mleage requirements you should go with a new car 3 year lease just to stay within new car warranty. Good deal for a 2010 550 with similar options and $72K MSRP (no-charge value pack) should be around $900, maybe a little higher.

Leasing '09s.. by kyfdx HOST

If the car is a demo or a factory official model, and qualifies for the new car leasing program, it could be a very good deal.. (We leased an '08 with 10K miles last year at this time, and saved a lot of money).
 
But, if the car is truly used... then it most likely won't work.
 
If leasing through BMWFS, you'll have to stick with 36 months... they don't support 48 month leases..

November '09 Money Factor 528I Xdrive by armitagemike

Do you have the Money Factor and Residuals for November for the 528 I Xdrive? Are they different than the October Money Factors and Residuals? I'm really interested only in the 36 month 36,000 mile option, but others might be interested in the balance of the month/mile options.
 
Thanks!

kyfdx,
 
Thanks for the feedback. It was the owners demo car and they are considering it new. That is why I was considering leasing it. In using some of the MF and residual value %'s I saw in the previous message, it looked like it could be a good deal. Based on a $60k negotiated price, $5k down, I was coming up with a payment in the high $500s. I used the original MSRP as the starting point for the residual value. Am I doing this correctly? BTW, great site. Thanks for the help. Any insight would be appreciated. I was going to talk to them tomorrow.

You have to account for a lower residual, because of the miles already on the car....
 
Not sure of the exact program on this car, but generally...
 
(Miles - 500) X $0.30
 
So.. for 9000 miles, you'd have to deduct $2550 from the residual. As you'll see, that will add about $70/mo. to the price you calculated. It could still be a good deal compared to leasing a $70K new model.
 
regards,

Thank you so much. Going into the dealership today. You have done an amazing job of prepping me for the meeting. Much appreciated and will let you know how it goes.

Not really, you need to take into account that you did not get a new car. 10K miles is like getting a year old car. It should be cheaper. Paying less is not the same as getting better deal. In most cases it is just that - paying less. Let's see how this person ends up. I can bet his deal will be close to $800 per month with no money down and tax included in the payment. He may save about $100-150 per month but he will not get 2010 car with the new CIC 4.0. It will be the previous year model with some miles and yes, it will cost less.

If you are renting the car by the month, and you'll be under the 4yr/50K warranty/maintenance coverage for the entire lease.... then, I don't see the difference...
 
I'm not sure what CIC 4.0 is... I-drive related? Not sure I'd sacrifice $100-$150 per month for an improved interface..
 
In my case, my '08 X3 was identical to the '09 model, except for some X-drive badges on the side of the vehicle...

Any thoughts on a bottom line? by dunroven

I have an 07 535 similarly equipped to the one below with a lease renewing in December, 2009. If we trade it for a new lease, wondering what we should look for as a target offer? Our trade is under the mileage cap of 36K miles currently 28K. It has new run flat tires and is in showroom condition.Here are the specifics on the new one:
 
2010 535i Sedan
Base MSRP $51,100
Alpine White $0
Black Dakota Leather $0
Dark Poplar Wood $0
Cold Weather Package $750
Premium Package $750
Sport Package $2,900
Value Package $0
Navigation system $1,900
Power rear sunshade with rear manual side window shades $575
HD Radio $0
Satellite radio with 1 year subscription $595
Automatic high beams $250
Park Distance Control $750
Destination & Handling: $825
Total MSRP as Built $60,395
 
I've read most of the previous posts and am prepared to work hard with two dealers. Plenty of time to negotiate, but it would be great have a target. Thanks in advance for help. I feel fortunate to have access to a forum with so much experience.
