All, I currently have a lease with BMW. I understand that current customers receive the lower money factor without having to make the security deposit. If this is the case, how many additional deposits can I make to lower the money factor. Is it still 7, or can I now make it 8 total? Thanks!

Replying to: kyfdx (Dec 26, 2006 4:15 pm) I'm going to attempt to negotiate a lease of a new X3 tomorrow. Please let me know some numbers I should consider. Anything that could help me....$$ factors, terms...Basically, how much should bargain off of the MSRP? Thanks in advance! |

Replying to: ctski1 (Dec 27, 2006 10:05 am) Example: $44,000 MSRP $41,500 Selling price $42,125 CAP cost (selling price + acq.fee) 3yr/45K lease 65% Residual .0015 MF Payment = $482/mo.+ tax Due at signing: 1st payment, security deposit, title/license fees (approx. $1200-$1300 total) 3yr/36K lease? Subtract $23/mo. $500 higher selling price? Add $15/mo. Hope this helps... The residuals are fantastic this month... I wouldn't count on them being that good next month. regards, kyfdx |

Welcome back Car_man and kyfdx, I have this question that has been bothering me for a while now. I'd really appreciate if someone can help me with this. In the below lease offer I'm seeing a total lease payment including acquisition fee of 13, 284 and when I divide that by 36 I get the monthly payment amount of 369 which makes me think acquisition fee is 0 dollars. I'm really confused here. When I try to calculate monthly payments for the as shown car, I'm getting only 389 per month instead of 401 per month. Where am I making the mistake? Also if I make a security deposit do I get my money back at the end of the term? How is it different than putting a down payment? Thanks a bunch for your help.

Replying to: izmirian (Dec 28, 2006 2:18 pm) Without it, you can't calculate the lease payment.. In the advertised lease, the acquisition fee is added to the CAP cost, before the $2500 downpayment is deducted.. It is my estimation that the discount from MSRP to get this lease payment is about $625.. Which is why your calculation works out... Why the numbers don't work out for the more highly optioned model, I'm not sure... They are either working with less of a discount, or there is some other reason... as I would assume $389/mo., as well. As you can see, the low payment is more reflective of the lease program, than a low selling price... Which is something to keep in mind... You should be able to negotiate a deal at least $1000 better than the advertised deal. regards, kyfdx |

Replying to: kyfdx (Dec 27, 2006 8:23 pm) This is an offer that I've received from a dealer in Springfield, MA "With the options you have specified (205 216 248 2BP 494 4AD) and with 12,000 miles per year, the payment goes up to $361/month for a non-metallic color and $365/month for a metallic color. I ran the numbers with 6% sales tax. I don't know where you would be registering it, but I saw the 860 area code. Therefore, for a non-metallic car you would be at $382.56/month including sales tax with $4042.06 due at signing (first monthly payment of $382.56, security deposit of $400, doc fee of $289, registration fee of $135, acquisition fee to BMW of $650, sales tax on your $2025 cap cost reduction of $121.50 and sales tax on the $650 acquisition fee of $39 plus the $2025 cap cost reduction itself) and for a metallic car, you would be at $387.36/month including sales tax with $4046.86 due at signing (first monthly payment of $387.36, security deposit of $400, doc fee of $289, registration fee of $135, acquisition fee to BMW of $650, sales tax on your $2025 cap cost reduction of $121.50 and sales tax on the $650 acquisition fee of $39 plus the $2025 cap cost reduction itself). The monthly payment seems fair, but the $4046 due at signing is a bit high...(?) Your valuable input will be greatly appreciated. Have a Happy New Year! |

Replying to: terryf (Dec 30, 2006 10:04 am) but for same car you have above..but without the heated steering wheel, with $12K mileage I was quoted $435.86 including tax and that was with like $3,486 down. But I hadn't done any research...it think it was $800 under MSRP..which now I know from reading here I can do much better. Good luck and let me know how you make out as I may order one on tuesday.
