#1191 of 2268 BMW Financial question by kabbalah

Apr 14, 2010 (8:00 am)

I am coming off my 3rd X5 lease in 4 months, and 4th BMW in 15 years. Looking to do another one. Does BMW financial look closely at credit scores? up until this past year my credit rating was sky high. Due to the economy etc that has all changed and it's pretty bad now. X5 lease is current and up to date although there were a few late charges. Credit cards were the problem and i have been making settlements with them but I'm not done. Will this be a major problem with BMW financial? I've also been told that if you lease a new vehicle in the last 3 months of the contract that BMW will waive the last payments. Any truth to this?
 
How easy or likely is it to purchase X5 at end of lease term at a discount from the residual value, and will BMW financial finance it?
 
thanks

Credit scores count -- especially if there is a preferred rate. They may cut you some slack if you have been on time with your current lease payments -- or not. Just discuss it with your finance mgr. Now, if you need time to sort out your credit issues I suggest walking away from the X5. You don't appear to be in the right place for a super premium ride. All is not lost. The Mazda 5 comes to mind -- brand new from 17-21k depending on the model. Kia Rondo -- Hyundai Elantra Touring -- Just step back for a few years -- late model impalas are great buys.
Leasing is tougher than buying when credit issues are involved. Good luck.

Hi kabbalah. BMW Financial Services uses a pass / fail system for its lease program. Either your credit score is good enough to qualify for its best available rates or you can't lease through them at all. From what I have seen in the past, BMW FS tends to be fairly lenient about who it approves for leases. You will probably be able to lease through them unless your credit is reeeally messed up. If your credit is bad enough that BMW FS won't approve you then you probably should lease something less expensive and work on improving your financial situation.
 
BMW does run official early lease termination programs for time to time where it will waive the remaining payments for returning lessees. While I am not aware of any such program right now, it is possible that BMW is indeed running one. Ask a dealer to find out for certain. Just make sure that BMW FS is actually waiving your payments and the dealer is not just making them for you. The latter will have a negative impact upon your ability to negotiate the best possible deal on your new lease.
 
Most banks will not negotiate the end-of-term purchase option prices of leased vehicles. Having said this, they will occasionally do so so it never hurts to ask. Place a call directly to BMW FS and see what they can do for you. If your initial contact there isn't willing to negotiate, try working your way up the ladder to a manager. That sometimes will yield better results. Again, more likely than not they won't lower your vehicle's price but you don't have anything to lose by trying.

#1195 of 2268 Experience w/ Costco? by kl07rph

Apr 15, 2010 (11:49 am)

Hello everyone!
 
Wife and I are deciding on an X5 3.5 and was wondering if anyone in the Chicago area used the Costco Auto program prior to negotiating more? Trying to determine if it's worthwhile joining Costco or not.
 
Thanks!

#1197 of 2268 2010 X5 by kl07rph

Apr 20, 2010 (8:04 am)

I hope someone can concur as this lease does not add up for me...
 
2010 X5 3.0xdrive Monaco Blue, 36 months 15k mile/year
 
MSRP: $59175
Cap cost: $57000
MF: 0.0023
Residual: 60%
 
Plus 8% Sales Tax (Due upfront, stupid state): $4560
$5k cash due at signing (which I assume includes sales tax)
$895 a month
 
How is the dealer coming up w/ something close to $900/month? Assuming tax comes from $5k due at signing, I am only coming w/ lower 800s/month. Dealer won't say how they calculated figures (shady?)
 
Hope someone can verify my suspicion

Thanks for concurring; contrary to your response, I did not even consider that deal. However I was hoping someone here could shed some light into what my dealer was smoking.
 
Seems like you got a fair deal however as my post stated, my state (IL) requires sales tax upfront. An ideal comparison would be from someone who leased from a similar state (Texas, Ohio, Illinois, etc) versus another state where taxes are rolled into the monthly payment.
 
PS: Not sure if you're insulting me or not, but your condescending "kid" attitude toward me is not appreciated.
