HI therose400. I am not personally all that familiar with how sales tax is calculated on leased vehicles in your state, but you may be able to find out additional information on this subject by visiting one of the following sites: Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles or State of Florida Department of Revenue.
 
BMW just introduced a new lease program for the month of October a few days ago. It is now pushing 30 month leases of the 2005 Z4 instead of 24 month leases. Let me know if you would like me to give you an idea of what the new program is like.

Car_Man,
 
Sure, I'd like to know what the 30 month lease program is about. Thanks!

My 2003 Z4 (3.0) lease expires 1/06. When my old Z3 lease was up, I leased it again for a second 36 month term, and cut my payments in half. What is your opinion about leasing my Z4 again when this lease expires? Do you have any good suggestions for lease expiration options, other than purchasing the car and keeping/or re-selling or signing up for a new car lease?

Hi Carman
 
Are the lease numbers the same for a 2006 z4 2.5i and is the dealer incentive for the 2006's or just the 2005's
 
thank you

Here you go, therose400. If you were to lease a 2005 BMW Z4 through BMW Financial Services right now for 30 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00100 and 59%, respectively. When negotiating a lease on this car, don't forget to take the $3,000 dealer cash that BMW is providing on the 2.5 and that is has on the $5,000 3.0 into account.

Hi sparkleyes. Whether you should lease your current Z4 again or not depends upon what sort of lease program BMW offers you. If it has an attractive program on used Z4s when your lease is up, you may want to consider leasing your car again. Keep in mind though that it will no longer be covered by its original warranty though. If the lease program is not that attractive, if its purchase option prices is reasonable you can always buy your car at lease end and continue to drive it. If the purchase price is attractive enough a third option would be to purchase your car for less than its current market value and sell it on your own or trade it in for a profit. Lastly, you can always walk away from it.

Hi baasten. As bdr127 just mentioned, BMW has not started producing 2006 Z4s yet. When they begin to arrive early next year, I highly doubt that BMW will offer any sort of dealer cash on them. It might initially offer a special lease program, but it will be different than the one that is available on the 2005 Z4.

I was just at BMW dealership today. I need to decide if this is a good deal over the weekend.
 
30 mo. lease
 
MSRP 50,370
money factor: .00125
15k miles/year
residual: 60%
residual value: 30,222
cap cost: 43,606
bank (acquisition fee): 825
prior lease balance: 1200
adjusted cap cost: 44,806
mo. payment 579.91 + tax
amount due at drive off: 1875 (includes bank fee)
 
what i'm doing is rolling my last two lease payments into the cap cost and they took off an additional 1200 from the original cap cost bringing it down to 43,606.
 
are any of these numbers negotiable more? do you think i can get a better cap cost? what do you think invoice price is for the 50k MSRP? thanks
