#722 of 723 2005 X3 for under $20K? by pp2009pp Oct 02, 2009 (10:32 am)
What about a used instead? I would, of course, say RUN far, far away but what about a used one instead? This idiotic car is at the end of its run anyway and they will start manufacturing them in NC instead of in an Austrian OEM plant. Drive a cheapo used one for a few years and see what comes up next. I don't know if this is a good bet but will they actually bother to fix the ride and the transmission problems? Maybe they will revert back to the 5 speed transmission or, heck, maybe not. At any rate, why take the risk?
#723 of 723 X3 lease end residual question by donja Oct 26, 2009 (8:06 am)
I'm coming in at the end of December on my 3yr 2007 X3 lease. Sport pkg, premium pkg, cold weather pkg; no navigation. My cap cost reduction pmt was $2974, monthly pmts made total $22248, contract residual value is $30799. I've been happy with the vehicle and would like to purchase it. I've seen some blogs where people have claimed to get as much as $9000 off the residual from BMWFS. Anyone else have experience with BMW reducing the residual amount to entice a lease-end purchase?
