Erh, I've never leased and I don't know nothing about leasing...cars! But it looks odd if the sale price is x amount and you want to add more to it for financing. Looks like the finance total is 65,142. Is that right? Is the depreciation supposed to be a double whammy?

It's just a calculation to get the finance charge... The two numbers (cap cost + depreciation) are added together, to get an average amount financed...
 
When the money factor constant is calculated, it is halved, to make up for the two amounts being added together...

Thanks. So the weighted average of those numbers is inherent in the MF! Hmmm...now that makes me think how do they get the MF? But not going to mess with leasing...
 
Please anyone bought (not lease) a 328i recently??? Need to know who paid what and where for what year 328i with prem. Is my nice salesman's quote high at $42.6k otd. Thanks.

I think that is high, the Money Factor for Oct, is .00135, of course this is with top tier credit. But $608/m is high...

Thanks flightnurse--
 
I tried looking for a 2012 335xi coupe but the dealers seem to be sold out--
Stopped by and test drove the xi today and the salesman worked up the following--let me know your thoughts--
 
MSRP--- 56445 ( 335xi coupe / premium pak/ nav/ m sports pak with 18 inch wheels/ )
 
Selling Price--53493
 
Residual : 60%
 
MF: .00135
 
For 15,000 miles/ 36 months and $3000 down ( all taxes , fees, and 1st months payment ), it will be $645 a month...
Is this decent/ bad : can I move the needle lower?
 
Thanks for reading

More info would make it easier to see if it is a good deal, but let me ask you, What do you think?

First off the current M-sport package has been watered down, it doesn't have sport suspension like the previous generations, From reading what the M-SPort package is now, is has parts from the old Sports package and M style rims and body work. It doesn't even have sport suspension..
 
MSRP--- 56445 ( 335xi coupe / premium pak/ nav/ m sports pak with 18 inch wheels/ )
 
What other options do you have? I come up with $50,045 as MSRP for what you have posted.
