Replying to: gator5000e (Dec 14, 2008 6:09 pm) Have you already taken delivery with this deal? 1. Ask them what this "administrative fee" is. This is a negotiable line item. 2. How much is the prepaid maintenance? Is the plan good for up to 39 months? Or is it prepaid for more months, which would be unnecessary for your lease deal. 3. How much are the wheel locks? Heck they should be giving these away! Keep in mind that the residual value of "dealer addons" like wheel locks, and chromed/aftermarket wheels are MUCH lower than the base price of the car. I remember looking at a BMW 5 series where the residual on the car was 49%, but the residual on the accessories that made the car sooo sexy came in at a meager 10% - that throws the numbers in a tizzy to say the least. 4. You can get a car from any other state... the cost of shipping could be as much as $1000. That may still pose a cheaper deal than what you may be getting in Orlando. 5. Have you tried the Edmund's lease calculator It's actually pretty good!

| This number looks like what they did last year (fall '07). I think you can do better, but I admit the residuals have been very low these days as the manufacturer/dealer seem to be favoring sales vs. leases. I think you could actually buy this car over five years with a similar monthly payment even with zero down. Check out the deals in the Sales Experience forum for the M cars. | |

redline122, I believe, but need to clarify, the Admin fee is the same as dealer prep/doc fees. I also have to check on the time for the pre-paid maintenance. I realize all this stuff is pure profit to the dealership. I may ask them for a cash price deal even though I am not crazy about financing a car. I have to weigh this against an offer for a RWD 2009 Caddy CTS for $37500K fully loaded. So confused!!

Car_man, I'm looking for a 2009 M35 with Tech/Adv Tech pkgs. MSRP is $53,035 and invoice $48,619. I have an offer on the table from the salesperson for $49,695. 36 month 15k miles/yr residual is 52% and money factor is 0.00168. I've been told by salesperson that each dealership in So. Cal. has received one 2009 M35. What do you think about this offer and are the residual and money factor correct for December? Thanks.

Hey, guys, I posted about 10 days ago and am still talking with the salesman on the lease for the M35. Now he is telling me that because this is a national/manufacturer lease program, they have NO room to move at all. He says they make very little money on the deal, if any, and he only makes $100 per car leased under the national program. It sounds like BS to me, but does anyone know for sure whether it is or it isn't BS? If so, I am ready to tell this guy see you later. Thanks.
