#90 of 227 135 lease deals by bg516

Jul 08, 2010 (2:04 pm)

I picked up a 2010 factory 135 convertible demo with about 1100 out the door, and i saved the 350 disposal fee on my 2007 x3 and the last month payment of 450 so i looked at the 1100 check i wrote as really about 300 0ut the door. now what did i get, a 48000 msrp car with 13000 mileson it with a cap cost of 37995 with a monthly of about 451 plus tax or about 482 total. this is for 36 months and 10 miles per year, oh yea, that drive off included the first month.
was this a great deal, yes and no, things being the way they are, i could have picked up the 2011 model at about 4800 list for about 485 plus tax or about 519 with a drive off of about 4500 to 5000, but what is the difference, a new double clutch and a single turbo. drove both, if i was buying i would have got the 2011, but on a lease, so what. i got the free service the full warranty for the total lease and a like new car from the bmw distributor through a big city dealer.

#93 of 227 bmw 128 i (open end lease) by fess_b

Jul 15, 2010 (4:24 pm)

Hello,
 
I'd like to invest in a 128i convertable 2010 or 2011, but want to lease with option to buy at the end of the term. Or should I just finance?
 
If I lease, payment will be lower, and I can buy the car at residual value?
 
I don't know which route to go?
 
Advise me on some options please,
Thank U

One thing I always wondered about euro delivered and leasing - does the lease start when you pick up the car in Europe? Do they suspend the lease while you are waiting the 6 weeks or so for the car to arrive back in states?
 
In general, no matter if you lease or buy - will the dealer provide you with a loaner while waiting for delivery here? Do you have another vehicle you can drive or will you have to rent a car (assuming the dealer does not provide one) while waiting?
 
Does anyone know if you can have someone else (say a family member) pick up your euro delivery for you? My daughter travels to Europe quite a bit and could combine one of her trips with a side trip to pick up a car for me, if allowed, for not much extra money...
 
Just stuff I wondered about when looking at euro delivery.

The lease starts when you take delivery in Europe.. BMWFS picks up the 2nd payment of the ED lease, but the money factor for leasing is .0003 higher for ED, so that isn't really a bonus..
 
No car provided while you are waiting for re-delivery..
 
Your daughter can't take delivery of your car, unless she is a co-lessee.. no exceptions..
 
You can still save some money on an ED lease, but it makes more sense for a straight purchase.

The 2011 128i convertible money factor is .00210, which is 5.04% effective and you have to pay the BMW lease acquisition fee.
 
If you buy, BMW will finance it for 0.9 to 1.9% - at least for the 2011 model, they don't show the cheap money for the 2010 left overs (but Edmunds does). The 2010 should also have $1,500 in dealer money to further reduce the price. The 2011 has the free value package (leather seats and ipod) for the same price, so depending on what you find left over you may prefer to forgo the discount pricing and get the 2011 - since the net price could be close to the same.
 
If your goal is to own the car and you can afford the payments, no brainer choice to buy it now with cheap money - and I am a big lease fan.

0.00170 is the top tier buy rate on the money factor, assuming you have good credit the dealer has jacked it up 0.36% on you.
 
Edmunds shows MSRP as $44,525 and invoice as $40,960 so you price is about in the middle - which seems to be typical these days.
 
You need to run the lease numbers for yourself to see if the dealer is hiding anything in the lease. We have no idea where you are or what your taxes are like so can't tell much else about your deal from what you state.
 
Remember there is a $750 or so acquisition fee on the lease plus any dealer doc or prep fees and TTL plus taxes.
 
I think you have your 24 and 36 month numbers backwards...
