Replying to: kyfdx (Dec 30, 2005 11:34 am) Thank you! I will call the NV department of taxation next week to find out. This seems like it could be a potential case of double taxation, and I want to avoid this if possible. On another note, as it looks I will not be leasing until January '06, do you know what the money factor and residual will be like for the 525i on a 24 month/12k lease in January? Any way to look these up so that I don't have to keep asking you? |

The dealer is not under any obligation to give you the base rate, but this mark up seems huge. Also, if you pay the fully refundable security deposit, it reduces the MF by 0.00015. My 0.02$.

Replying to: ca_man (Jan 01, 2006 8:36 pm) Bottom line is there really are no more 525i models available in CA (especially in the model & color I wanted) that allow for the advertised (or better) numbers. I found the exact car I was looking for, and it was difficult working out the details to get it shipped to LA. The dealer had to trade an X5 to get it. The deal is done. Out of curiousity: What would change if the Money Factor were .0016 instead of the .00205? If I paid the security deposit, would that have reduced the MF of .0016 by .00015? What is the ABSOLUTE BEST lease deal you've seen on the 06's? I am sure I paid more for the bank rate 825 vs. 625..but, eating $200 is ok, I'm glad they took my trade in.

Replying to: bmwchick (Jan 02, 2006 7:17 am) In Florida, I couldn't find any dealer, and I checked with many, who wasn't padding the AF by $200. I got a very good lease deal on my 545 with a MF of only 0.0010 but my AF was $825. Couldn't get it down. Nevertheless, I am happy with my deal as my monthly payment is about the same as a 2006 530i for much more car. You haven't really lived until you experience a BMW 8. |

| I've been told that BMW lease rates would change on January 4; any idea what they will be for a 550i? I've been thinking of leasing a 550i from an SF Bay Area dealer, but am reluctant to do so until the lease rate improves... | |

Replying to: jamiew (Jan 03, 2006 9:26 pm) Also, I would not expect a promotional rate for the 550i so early in the model year. Last year, there was a fire sale on the MF for the 545i due to the outgoing model ...

Replying to: maptheway (Jan 02, 2006 9:07 am) If you had paid the security deposit, that would have reduced the MF of .0016 by .00015. You are able to pay a maximum of 5 security deposits, each of which will reduce the MF by .00005, which means the total possible reduction is 0.0025. This will make a significant difference in your payment. I know of only one dealer here in Northern CA who will even readily admit to the above. But, even my dealer will not back down on the Bank Rate  The best thing in your case would have been to custom order a car. That way you get exactly what you want. There is a small wait, but a reasonable one. As for the best lease deal, with leasing there are so many variables, it is difficult to pinpoint the best lease deal as such ….
