thanks . . . the bimmerfest thread was great. good looking out.
 
Carman, or anyone else in the community - are there any other insights that you have on the select program? it does have a ballon payment on the backend. because i live in ohio, i'm guaranteed 2.9% interest if i choose to finance the ballon payment for another 1-2 years OR i can pay it off OR i can take the residual value and roll into a new vehicle at the time.

The Select program is just an extended loan...
 
The drawback in comparison with a lease, is you don't have the option to turn it in at the end of the term.... You have to refinance the balloon, or sell the car, and repay the balance...
 
Generally, they created the program as an alternative to leases for full-tax states like Illinois and Texas. It preserves the trade-in tax credit for those states, by putting the car in the name of the buyer, rather than a leasing company.
 
It is rarely used outside of the states with those taxing policies..
 
There is nothing inherently wrong with it... Though, many people have the opinion that if you can't afford to pay for a car with a 60-month loan, then it is too expensive for your budget.

Contemplating Leasing for first time by anmani

All,
 
In the past I have always bought my cars but I am considering leasing a car at this time. I am looking at leasing a 2009 or 2010 528i with Prem package, navigation, park distance control and split rear folding seats. I am looking at a 3yr lease with 15K miles. Can I ask for some advice on what is a reasonable purchase price, what is the MF and what would be reasonable monthly payments. Live in SoCal.
 
Any help would be much appreciated.

thanks
i have a vehicle allowance as part of my compensation package and i drive too many miles for a straight lease program. based on what the dealer told me, i can also roll the vehicle into a new vehicle and continue the lease type payments. i never plan nor need to purchase a vehicle given my situation so i'm going to go with it.

Here you go, bmwpower2010. BMW Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2010 528i Sedan with 10,000 miles per year are .00145 and 61%, respectively.

Hi bettencb. The numbers that you mentioned in your post are indeed correct. BMW is not currently providing any cash incentives on leases of this car.

Hi armitagemike. Here's the information that you're looking for. BMW Financial Services' September buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2010 528xi Sedan with 12,000 miles per year are .00155 and 60%, respectively.
 
The money factor for a lease with only 10,000 miles per year is exactly the same, but the residual value would be 1% higher.
