I love Dogs to. I'm also a dealer [salesperson] and I really don't appreciate being called a liar.
 
You obviously have had a bad experience with someone buying a car. I'm sorry that's happened. Please don't paint us all with your giant brush.

I'm helping a friend to lease a 128 convirtible. What is the current MF, residuals, etc? There are no specials still, but do you know if any are coming up soon?
 
I would love to hear from the hosts, but please post if you had any recent experiences with leases?
 
Thanks!

Thanks for the info, qbrozen. Just a heads up, BMW is not currently providing any lease support on the 1-Series. That means if one wants to lease it through BMW Financial Services' they will have to use its standard lease program. BMW FS' buy rate standard lease money factor varies by region. Anyone who definitely wants to lease a 1 should do so now. BMW announced yesterday that it will raise its standard money factor slightly on June 23rd. It will only cause this car's lease payment to increase by a couple of bucks, but if you are certain that you want one there's no reason to pay more than you have to.

Hi traderb. BMW is not currently providing lease support on any 1-Series models. Interestingly though, it did introduce a new special financing program which provides a rate of 2.9% for up to 5 years on the '08 135i Convertible this month.
 
If you choose to lease this car through BMW Financial Services, you will have to use its standard lease program. BMW FS' standard lease money factor varies by region, but it is probably around .00270 on average right now. Its 36 month, 15,000 mile per year residual value for the '08 i35i Convertible is 56%. This residual is 2% higher on leases with only 12,000 miles per year.

'08 135 Convertible by MLB999

car_man or anyone else with insight....
 
Our dealer has two '08 135 convertibles left
 
MSRP on one is $49,500 (loaded) - it was a demo - has 5,000 miles on it
 
MSRP on the other is $45,000
 
Looking to put the minimum down on a 36mo, 15K lease
 
Any thoughts on what we should be paying?

Hi MLB999. I am not personally all that familiar with what the market is like for the 135 Convertible right now, but I suspect that it is like most of the auto industry at the moment...soft. If I was in the market for this car right now and I lived in an area that has a decent level of competition, I personally would shoot for a selling price that's as close to dealer invoice as possible, particularly on the demo model. You can look up these cars' exact dealer invoice prices over in the New Vehicle Pricing section of Edmunds.com.
 
Once you have a selling price, let me know and I would be happy to crunch some numbers for you to give you an idea of what sort of monthly payment these cars will have.
