#136 of 227 Question for Car_Man by runofkings

Dec 23, 2010 (6:58 pm)

Hi Car_Man:
 
Thanks for all of your great advice!
 
I would like your opinion on a 2011 BMW 128i coupe with an MSRP of $32,700 I am thinking of leasing.
 
I have been offered a MF of .00125 and a residual rate of 56% for a 36-month lease with 15,000 miles per year. We've agreed on a purchase price of $30,800, resulting in monthly payments of $455 including taxes and $0 down, $0 first month's payment (the $1,500 holiday rebate is applied to the up-front costs).
 
What do you think of this deal?
 
Thanks!!

Hi runofkings. The lease program that you mentioned in your post is right in line with BMW's current program for this model.
 
The car that you're interested in probably has a spread of around $2,500 between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. The $1,900 dealer discount that you were quoted is probably around $600 over invoice, which isn't bad...especially after considering the fact that the dealer is not trying to mark your car's money factor up on you like BMW dealers often do.

Car_Man if I could get your help please. Trying to negotiate a lease on 128i convertible. I see in post #134 above that the residual for 36 mo. 10k year is listed as 64% and I see where top tier MF for returning cust. is .00190. Are these still the correct numbers? Thanks for your help.

Hello mdc99. BMW's January buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2011 128i Convertible with 10,000 miles per year are .00120 and 59%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tiers.
 
BMW is running a special this month that drops this factor to .00090 for returning customers.

Is the owner loyalty reduction of money factor (MF) of 0.0003 still in effect, provided that the lease MFs and residuals have not changed since January 2011?

Hi Car_man, do you happen to have the numbers for a 3 year, 15000mile/yr lease on a 128i coupe?
Thanks!

The money factor for loyal BMW customers drops to .00105.

Help! Would a low 600 credit score qualify me for a loan through BMW? What kind of rates would I be looking at for a 135i?
