we have one infinity dealership here. I asked the sales man to run numbers for a 27 month lease. M35x.
 
MSRP: $48,330
Sales Price: 44,946
Residual: 31,414
12k/year
1st payment + fees= $1,500 (total out of pocket)
payment= $637
 
I told him I wanted nothing out of pocket on a lease, and he said $1,500 was the lowest he could get the Out of pocket. I have bought and leased a bunch of times, and this seemed like BS. What do you all think about this?

Unless there is a state required tax, the only things that you should have to pay up front are the first month's payment plus tax, title/registration fees and any security deposits you have agreed to (or have to pay due to credit history). Some states require that you pay taxes up front as well.
 
My guess is that the dealer has decided that they want the "administrative fee" up front to insure they get their profit instantly...rather than roll it into the lease.
 
So..tell us what is included in that $1500....the dealer has to tell you.

I agree with the above post. You only need the first month, title/reg. fees and security deposit if needed. The problem you have is only one dealer. I sent e-mails to four (Orlando, Clearwater, Sarasota and Tampa). Two of these are about one hour from me but i could pin them against each other to get the best deal. Tampa finally caved and even dropped the 599 dealer fee. I would try to find the next closest dealer and e-mail the internet dept. for a quote.

M45 sport lease by cablue

The advertised lease special on the M45 sport, which states: 39 mos., 12,000 miles at $529/mo., MSRP of 51,265, 5,029 down, is this a good deal and is the sale price still negotiable if it's a special lease? Very new at this so any help would be appreciated.

You can lease the same car for $100 a month if you give them $15000 down....just kidding, but you get the idea. The more you put down, the less the monthly payments....and that's the only thing most people look at. Don't be one of those people.
 
You should never put money down on a lease....use the exact same money to make multiple security deposits (see lots written here on that topic). That reduces your money factor rate....the money down only pays some of the money up front, but at the same rate as if you put nothing at all down.
 
Forget "special deal"...call the dealer and tell them you don't want to put any money down....what is the monthly payment.
 
BTW....since you are putting $5029 down, over 39 months, just divide the $5029 by 39 = $129 and your real monthly payment is: $529+129=$658/month. That's what they should advertise, but $529 with $5029 down sounds much cheaper

Thanks so much for your reply. Been debating between the m45 sport and a used 2004 745 bmw. Now leaning toward 745. Currently have a 530, need more room. Any thoughts or info one may want to add to our dilemma?

I think you have to drive both. Nothing beats a BMW's handling but the electronics/navigation and comfort are far better on the M. The M navigation is far far better than the BMW's...
 
Test drive an M35 which has as much power, if not more than a 530. Note...I said M35 not M35 Sport or M45. The sport has a much harder ride and significantly more expensive tires...with little increase in handling.
 
I moved from a 2003 530 to an M35 and don't regret it at all. Of course, I drive in town and in flat Florida, so I'm not typical.
