1500 over invoice is the high end of the range. It's not hard to find a dealer who will sell for $1k over invoice or less. If you didn't put a deposit on that sales contract, then it likely is not binding. if you can, walk away from that "deal". You can do better.
 
The thing about the X5 is that we are in the last year of production for the 2nd generation X5. Later this year, BMW will start offering heavy incentives as the 3rd generation approaches production. The current X5 is a 7 year old design and it will be yesterday's news in less than a year. Why pay a premium for an old model when it will soon sell at a discount?

Ok so thinking about BMW X5 lease. I love this site.
 
MSRP of my X5- $53,245. Got $49,590 price for car. At 15,000 miles and $4,000 down the lease payment is $687. The residual after three years is $30,350. Not sure of the money factor that you mention above but slightly above .00190 so the 'finance guys can get paid'.
 
I know you are not a fan of $4,000 down payment but getting this thru customs (wife) means low monthly price. Plus its rare for totaled car and stolen and that goes down of course the closer you get to end of lease so I will take that chance.
 
So outside of the downpayment- what are your thoughts here? THANKS!

Hey mrjackcoffee. The selling price that you were quoted looks good. The .00190 money factor that you were quoted is right in line with BMW FS' current buy rate for this model, so the dealer is not marking your deal up any.
 
HA, I like the "getting this thru customs" comment. I completely understand .
 
Outside of the down payment this deal looks good.

#1924 of 2262 Did I Get It Right? by danno14

Jun 04, 2012 (9:26 pm)

Hi CarMan, I just started a build on a 2013 X5 35i Sport Activity from the dealer today and was wondering if I did it right. I added a few options like Convenience Pkg and Running boards to bring the MSRP to $62350 and ended up negotiating to this:
Sale Price: $59000
Down Payment: $2500
Money Factor: .00190
Residual: .60
Length: 36 Mo 12K/yr
Total Monthly Payment with Tax: $699.
 
Did I get it right CarMan? Thanks!

I'm curious as I read these boards, why so many monthly lease payments on the X5 seem to be in the $700+ range. When I search using BMW's lease offers in the Santa Monica area, I see the below terms:
 
$569*/month for 36 months
• $569 First months payment
• $3,000 Down payment
• $0 Security Deposit
• $725 Acquisition fee
• $4,294 Cash due at signing
 
I'm sure this is a very generic offering to get people in-store, just want to be prepared in advance. Thanks for the help!

2013 X5 xDrive35i Sport Activity with Conv Pkg and Running boards.
MSRP: 62350
Sale Price: 58370
Documents and Acquistion fee: 75 +725
Down Payment: 2800
Money Factor: 0.00190

Length: 36 Mo 12K/yr
Mileage fee: $0.15/mile
Monthly Payment including tax: $680.40

Here's what you need to know. If the dealer is saying they are selling you the car for $500 over invoice then the eco credit needs to be applied to that price. Without taking into consideration taxes looking at the MSRP for that vehicle the invoice should be $58550. Lets say you give the dealer $1000 of profit, then your left off at $59550. You apply the eco credit of $4500 to that price, which brings your selling price to $55055. BMWFS 36k miles residual is 56% and MF of 0.00185. If you dont account for sales tax (since it varies by state/county) you should end up with a payment of $696/month.
 
As for drive off fees I'd usually pay the first month lease + any dealer fees+ lease inception fees. It really boils down to personal preference. It will only make ur monthly payment go higher so its up to you.
 
I suggest you walk away from this deal or make them agree to what I just suggested.
