Thanks siuside . The money factor that you were quoted for this truck looks good to me. It is right in line with BMW Financial Services' current buy rate for this model. I personally would want more of a discount on it though. The 2007 BMW X3 that you described has a spread of at least $3,500 between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price, but you are only being given a discount of $900. It wouldn't hurt to comparison shop a little bit to see if you you can do better than this. Make sure to stop by the following discussion to see how much other community members have paid for similar trucks lately: "BMW X3: Prices Paid & Buying Experience".

#489 of 1097 Reference only.. ED leases by vsaxena

May 03, 2007 (10:16 pm)

I am currently driving an X3 3.0si (MSRP $48K+ Step, Sports, Premium, Cold Weather, Nav, Xenon, PDC, Cargo Net, Servotronic, Privacy Glass) with a payment of $358+tax. I did European Delivery and made multiple security deposits but no cap down. Deal was $1000 over ED invoice plus base lease rates for a 24 month/10K term. This was based on December 2006 lease rates.
 
Lease payments can vary a lot depending on the current incentives. As the person who was quoted $499 for the Hyundai found out, very often you can lease BMWs at a price very close to what you would pay for a car which costs half as much
 
And those who like driving BMWs should join the BMW Car Club of America. Their rebate program ($500/$1000/$1500 for 3er,5er,7er) is excellent value for the $40/year you pay.

thanks! Is the base price listed on edmunds right for msrp $38,000 and invoice $34,960. If so, what would be a good negotiated price?

#493 of 1097 Memorial Day Specials? by 4kids

May 22, 2007 (4:09 pm)

Hi...we were interested in leasing an X3...we should've done so in Jan when the programs were really good...but anyhow, does BMW offer specials during the Memorial Day Weekend? I called a few dealers and some said yes and some said no and weren't able to give much more info than that. Any predictions?

#495 of 1097 2007 X3 Lease (Good Price?) by shagzie

May 23, 2007 (12:34 am)

My first lease and also first car purchase alone. I'm thinking about walking in with these numbers:
MSRP: $47,660
Purchase Price: $45,917.00
36mnths 10k miles
MF: .00255 (given by local dealer)
Residual: 68% (given by local dealer)
Trade-in: $8,500
WV sales tax: 5%
Acquisition: $795 (given by local dealer)
Security Deposit: $400 (given by local dealer)
 
With the edmunds calculator, my monthly payment would be $381.11, if I did it correctly. Are these good numbers, talk them down lower, or just wait cause this isn't a good time for an X3 lease? Being female, I'm just worried about getting ripped off. Thanks!! April

Thanks Joe. I came up with the $1,743 number on Edmunds (what people are actually paying for this exact car). So now I want at least that but will go for more. Maybe I'll buy the Negioations for Dummies book The gentleman at the the dealership stated that Gap insurance is included in the lease. I'll have to look into the details but I just assumed if the car was stolen or totalled, that would be taken care of. At the end of the lease, I am still considering purchasing it. I'd also thought of maybe putting down half of the $8500 and putting the other in a good savings account to use later if I did decide to do so. Thanks again, April
