Thanks for taking the time to post such a detailed message about your lease, markcincinnati. I'm amazed that you've had over 28 Audis . What made you switch to BMW? Did you just get sick of them or did you get a bad one?

Lease X3 in NY by mnovodvor

Hi,
I wanted to ask your opinion on the deal I am considering here in NY:
X3 White/Terracotta 2006
Premium Package, Heated Seats, Privacy Glass
The MSRP comes to $40,220
The lease I was quoted was
36 motnth/10,000
$495 per month before taxes
$3,495 due at signing ( including 8.25% NY sales tax)
Does it seem fair?
I want to get as low as $470 per month, do you think it is reasonable?
Also, in general do you get a better pricing when you buying off the lot, or when ordering and waiting 8 weeks?
thank you, appreciate your comments.

February lease terms anyone? by fogdogpd

Looks like with the current demand for sedans so high (up 10% over 2004) no great deals are currently offered on a 3-series sedan (325i or 330i)and I am looking to switch to an X3 when my 330i lease runs out next month, and I had two questions:
 
1. Has anyone moved from a 3-Series to a X3 and what did you like and not like after the switch that you had not predicted, and
 
2. What are the current lease terms for February - I am looking for a 2 year 15K a year lease or possibly a 20K miles a year lease.
 
Also, my lease is up in March and the current programs only last through the end of February, any thoughts on gambling on a better rate in March versus doing a deal this month? The rates seem to have gotten better in February from January based on the nominal offer on bmwusa's web site.
 
Thanks for any thoughts!
 
Peter

Wish I could help...I'm looking too. My salesperson is reluctant to reveal anything and I'm getting irritated. I think I am getting a reasonable deal, but her attitude is turning me away. All she will tell me is my total payment and the Purchase price, no down payment, no 1st payment, No deposit. The purchase price includes a navigation system I don't want and she has told me I won't have to pay for because it's the only one they have that has all of my other options. That tells me she is not so honest. I have sent her an email asking for all of the specifics but not sure what to watch for in her response.
I am looking for 36mos/15K/PremiumPackage.
 
Also, what is the "Prepay amount" that they did specify in the info sheet she gave me?

Hey there,
 
I moved from a 2002 325Ci Coupe to a 2005 X3 3.0 last year after my lease was over. Considering I had the Sports Package on the 325 I still like the ride of the X3. It handles very well for its height, it has more interior space, and the huge sunroof is great.
 
I don't know if the 2006 received an upgrade to the interior or not but it is not as good as the 3.
 
If you want to know more let me know.

Hi Michael. You never mentioned the selling price of the X3 that you are interested in leasing. This is an important number for you as a consumer to know for two reasons. First, the selling prices of leased vehicles can be negotiated, just as if you were paying cash for them. Without knowing the price of the truck that you want to lease you don't know how good a price you are getting it for. The second reason is that one needs the selling price of a vehicle that they want to lease is that it is necessary to calculate its lease payment. I would be more than happy to work give you my opinion on this deal if you let me know what its selling price is.
 
Generally speaking, dealers usually prefer to sell vehicles that they already have in stock to ordering them. The logic behind this is that when they sell a unit that they already have, they can stop paying floorplan interest on it. Plus, a lot can happen between the time that a consumer orders a vehicle and they take delivery of it. If you drive off in something that is in stock, they know that you won't back out of the deal like you can with an order.

Greetings Peter. According to the latest information that I have seen, if you were to lease a 2006 BMW X3 through BMW Financial Services for 24 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00125 and 60%, respectively. 15,000 miles per year is the highest mileage allowance that BMW publishes residual values for. If you need to drive more than this, you will have to purchase additional miles on a per-mile basis. It is less expensive to do so at lease signing than it is to wait until lease-end and have to pay an excess mileage penalty.
 
It is difficult to say what BMW's March lease program on the X3 will be like. BMW just enhanced its lease program on this truck for the month of February. If I had to make an educated guess, I would say that its lease program for it will probably be about the same next month. Again, it is tough to say what will happen for certain though. A lot of what BMW does will depend upon how its February sales turn out.

Hi mariab. Please see my previous message for the money factor and residual value information that you are interested in. I'm not sure what the "prepay amount" that was on the info sheet that you were given means. Perhaps it is the amount due at lease signing. BMW Financial Services charges lessees their vehicle's first month's payment, a security deposit equivalent to that payment rounded up to the nearest $50 increment, a $625 lease acquisition fee, and any other required state fees or taxes at lease signing. You can have your truck's security deposit waived in exchange for an increase of .00015 in the money factor that is used to calculate its lease payment.

My first reaction to your deal is that you aren't getting nearly enough off of the MSRP... $420 discount... A decent deal would be at least $1000-$1500 less.. Which would equate to a payment that is $30-$45 lower per month...
