#255 of 612 Re: Z4 3.0si Lease [sloguy99] by Car_man HOST Jul 10, 2006 (1:54 am)
Replying to: sloguy99 (Jul 04, 2006 10:24 am) Hey Mac. Dealer invoice is not a good deal on this car if it does not take into account the $2,000 dealer cash that BMW is currently providing on it. Also, this dealer appears to be marking up BMW Financial Services' base lease acquisition fee of $625 by $200 to add additional profit to your deal. I personally would insist that they do not mark the acquisition fee up if I was getting this car. They are marking up your money factor as well. While the '06 Z4 3.0i's buy rate money factor is .00090, the '06 Z4 3.0si's money factor is only .00050 (.00065 with a security deposit waiver). Again, I personally would make any dealer that I was working with use the buy rate. It looks to me as though you still have some room to negotiate.   Car_man Host Prices Paid Forums
#256 of 612 Re: Carman, ready to order new Z4 this week, please help [Car_man] by adam90 Jul 11, 2006 (8:42 am)
Replying to: Car_man (Jul 02, 2006 6:27 am) I really need some help. I am in the negotiating stages of leasing an 06 Z4. The deal I found involves putting down $3,000, $329 for the first payment, $400 security deposit, and $299.50 processing fee. I don't quite understand what you mean by making additional deposits instead of putting down more money. Could you clarify this for me? Replies to this message: Car_man (Jul 16, 2006 5:43 am)

Replying to: kyfdx (Jul 09, 2006 7:32 am) Thanks much kyfdx. I emailed them and here's the breakdown they sent back:   $3994 down with 6% assumed tax = $239.64 1st payment = 237.44 Refundable Security Deposit = $250.00 Doc fee = 399.00 Doc Fee Tax = 23.94 Tag Fee = $42.00 Total _______________          $5186.02   I don't know what happened to the $2500 down. I'm guessing the acquisition fee is wrapped up in there. I know the $400 document fee is BS.   Based on this , it looks like I'd be paying a little over $10K over two years. It averages around $420/month assuming i get the security deposit back.   Any advice? Should I email back and say I won't pay the doc fees and ask why the down payment went up?   Thanks again.

Replying to: shinybean (Jul 11, 2006 2:40 pm) "Should I email back and say I won't pay the doc fees and ask why the down payment went up?"   Yeah.. that would be a good way to start... I'm sure they are adding $625 or $825 for the acquisition fee, but it looks more like $1200 added into the down payment, plus $400 for a doc fee....   It sure looks like you could pare $900-$1000 off of your upfronts.... That brings your monthly cost down to about $380.. which would be really good..   regards, kyfdx
#259 of 612 Also... by kyfdx HOST Jul 11, 2006 (5:22 pm)
If you get your upfronts down to, say... $4200, then I'd want to roll about $3000 of that into the lease... Sure, it will add $125/mo. to the lease payment... but, I'd rather have the money in my pocket... The total cost is about the same..   regards, kyfdx Replies to this message: shinybean (Jul 11, 2006 6:00 pm)

Replying to: kyfdx (Jul 11, 2006 5:22 pm) Thank you again. Your help is much appreciated. I asked him to knock $1000 off the upfront and roll the bulk of the remainder into the payment. That much up front does make me a little nervous. I'll post the results.
#261 of 612 New Z4 3.0si lease by mburgh711 Jul 12, 2006 (4:38 pm)
I just leased Z4 3.0si Premium pkge, heated seats, auto. Can I just say... LOVE the car. If anyone is considering the car, get it. I cant see a better Car value out there. The SI seems a much better choice given the extra standard equipment and lower money factor.   Paying 458/month, 30months, 10k miles - I hope its a good deal:) Paid aquisition,first,security, title/plates,upfront $1818.00 Basically $1200 dealer profit or 800 under invoice. I havent seen enough "deals" posted recently on here so I hope this helps any shoppers. Could have got the car $500 dealer profit because of a competitive situation but didnt want to wait 4 weeks in July to order. Replies to this message: topspin (Jul 13, 2006 2:40 pm)

Replying to: mburgh711 (Jul 12, 2006 4:38 pm) Sounds like a pretty good deal. What was your MSRP and negotiated price? Did you get .00050 mf and 65% res?   Thanks In Advance
#263 of 612 Z4 3.0si lease dealer cash question by urqmvsu Jul 14, 2006 (7:09 am)
Currently working a lease deal for an on the ground 3.0si for July with known $2000 dealer cash (options not exactly configured as desired).I am aware of the great lease rates/residuals on a 30 month lease. Dealer originally told me could also order for delivery prior to 8/31/06 as lease money factors will be the same and dealer cash would also be available. Now being told that no dealer cash will be available for August delivery.   Question: Do you know if indeed BMW announced this early that no dealer cash in August ..or a ploy to have me act on current on the ground Z4. In research appears dealer cash has been increasing and available since April. Is it worth the risk to wait until early August to order once dealer cash is known? Do not want a surprise if order now.   Thanks Replies to this message: Car_man (Jul 16, 2006 5:51 am)
#264 of 612 Lease Question & Problem w/2006 Z4 by trt333 Jul 14, 2006 (2:34 pm)
Hi, I'd appreciate some advice. I just leased a 2006 Z4 and I'm having a problem...when I stop at a red light, after about 7 seconds, the car downshifts, causing an appreciable jolt. Has anyone else experienced this problem? At first the dealership stated that this was NOT normal, then after a "software update" was unsuccessful they stated that this was a feature of the new motor called neutral idle control.   Also, Car_Man, or anyone else...did I get a good or bad deal?   36month lease with $4,000 down and $409/mo. The sticker price of the car was $43,120 but we negociated down to $38,800. There was also a $500 refundable security deposit.   I'd greatly appreciate any help. Thanks a lot.
