That looks like a good price.. Be wary of extra high disposition fees on a 3rd party lease..
If the 36K mileage over 39 months works out for you, this would be a decent way to go.. I still like BMWFS leases better.. One positive of this lease.. The buyout is much lower, in case you want to buy the car at the end of the lease.. Make sure the lease includes GAP insurance.

The MSRP on the vehicle is $50,145 and the dealer offered me $1,500 off. This is my 4th BMW from the same dealership and in the past I've done at least $500 better. But, I've never bought a convertible before. Is this a good deal? By the way the dealer is located just outside a major metropolitan city in the north east.

tootsie, you are right- it is a US Bank Lease. significantly lower MF than the BMWFS lease, but also a lower residual (in part because the lease is for 3 more months). all-in-all, i think a better enough deal to warrant moving away from the manfacturer lease.
we took possession yesterday in a remarkably pain-free experience. i found the dealer to be upfront at all times when I asked him for the figures to calculate the lease terms myself. excellent dealer in the Washington, DC area.
i spent the past few months on this board and other helpful websites to educate myself about the leasing process. thanks to all on this board, esp kyfdx, who helped me get a lease deal i can be happy with.

joe
You are mistaken. The BMW site has a deal on ED up but that's designed to give dealer's massive profit and screw buyers.
Go to the ED invoice pricing link I posted and find the Munich pick up. You'll see that number is much lower. A base 330i starts at 30k v. 35k msrp at the dealer.
The edmunds ED board is useful too.

hey did u mean 33k at dealers in the US??? or did u mean 33k for the car with ED?? thanks
Sometimes it takes a willingness to travel to a disant dealer or handle the buying via email/phone.

It's done every minute of everyday ... a smart dealer will grab an easy $2,500 than hold his breath for the next 40/50 days, pay the floorplan and "hope" he see's $4,500 ..l.o.l.. vehicles are replaceable with a phone call .. when cash isn't moving at a dealership, it becomes "just" paper in a metal wrapper ....
Terry.
I strongly suggest you visit the ED forum the host posted for you. You have to give the dealer some profit - most people start at $500 and let the dealer know they will negotiate - but try to stay under 1200. Again, visit the forum and read up.
I've been reading that some folks are getting up to $1500 off MSRP. I'm in So.Cal and would like to know which dealerships you deal with to get this deal. My local dealership (Steve Thomas BMW in Camarillo) mentioned that to get something off the lot without the wait means getting the car at MSRP. If I wait a bit, I can have about $1000 or so off the MSRP.
Let me know which dealership.....thanks....

- There's a light on on the dashboard all the time, the owner could not tell me what was about, she said something related to brakes, if I recall correct lt the light was on the speedometer and it was like a bright sun....
- When I drove it, I heard this "whooing" or "rolling" sound, it is hard to explain, it is similar to the sound when your tires are not balanced properly or like if the brake rotors would be machined correctly. I hope I'm explaining it right...
I'm planing to take the car to a BMW dealer but I just wanted some feedback for BMW owners, any Ideas?
Also, please let me know other experiences (good and bad) with that particular model.
Thanks a lot

Can't tell much from your description ... auto.? sounds like the abs light, does he have all the service records.? -- and most important, how much is he asking.?
Terry.
Low miles, but the fact that she hasn't responded to a warning light on her dash, tells me she hasn't serviced the car, since her free service ran out in '03...
You are doing the right thing getting it checked out..
You never mentioned a price?

Good deal ? Too good to be true ? Could there be a catch ?
- The owner says she has all the service records, she's the only owner.
- The price is $19700 (negotiable), I think it is a good priced considering the mileage compared with what I've look on the web. The sites that I've looked at, a similar 2000 325ci is about 21k.
What do you guys think about the price?
My car is Awaiting Transport according to the owner tracking on the BMW Owners Circle. I expect to receive it about July 15th. Maybe sooner. My 328i was on our local sell-it-yourself lot today. A few people are interested in buying it.
My feeling is while people like the driving dynamics, the looks IMHO are still souring many buyers. I have recomended to three friends that they go test drive an e90. Each did but none bought. Not one liked the looks.
But, don't call your fellow poster a liar.. If you don't like a post, then just scroll on past it..

A question to ask yourself.... If she has all of the service records, and services the car regularly, why is she trying to sell it with a warning light glowing on the dash, and brakes that sound funny?

I see that there is a approx $1K item to purchase, what does that buy me?
I want to have full service (like the first 50K miles) extended to 7 years/100,000 miles.
However, you can buy it at any time before your original plan expires..
It does not extend the limited warranty for repairs, however.. It is just for the scheduled maintenance..

That would get me scratching my head ... this Bimmer needs to be looked at real close, run a Carsmack and have the body man put an eyeball on it .... clean cars get cared for, low miles doesn't guarantee anything ......
Terry
Also if you look at carsdirect.com you'll see that all options are offered at the invoice for the 3 series. Anyways that's good news for me if I'll choose 330 over G35, cause my biggest issue is price.
MSRP: $37,895
Color: JET BLACK
Interior: BLACK LEATHER
OPTIONS
Premium package, sport package, automatic transmission, heated front seats, aluminum trim, satellite radio
I built "similar" car TMV @ edmunds.com MSRP= $37,345; INVOICE = $34,280.
1. I don't see the $550 difference betweens 2 MSRP's.
2. $35,500 is good offer?
Thanks in advance.
I believe nobody should buy anything on loan he couldn’t afford otherwise.
Having said that, I just got this leasing offer on a 325 BMW. It seems suspiciously good, but I haven’t done a leasing ever so I don’t see where the catch is, where I’m misled. (I’m a self-employed guy so I could use the tax advantage.)
I’d appreciate your help. (This is Raleigh-Durham area, NC.)
Retail value (MSRP) 33,020
Net sales price 34,470
Lease end value 63 %, 20,802
36 months
Money factor: 0.00305 [what’s this anyway?]
Cash cap reduction 4,500 (that’s how much I’d pay upfront)
Acquisition fee: 825 (can I negotiate to lower it to the recommended 625?)
Tag/title 62
Doc fee 398 (isn’t it too much, isn’t it negotiable?)
Adjusted cap cost: 29,345 (33,020-4500+825)
Tax rate/amt 3 % (what’s this, which is better, higher or lower?)
Base montly rental: 401.94 = 390.23+11.71 (tax)
Amount due at start: 5,510.74 (4,500+401.94+ something else, what’s that?)
Two more questions:
If the MSRP 33,020, how much can be negotiated from that? (When I was leaving, the sales guy already mentioned 500).
How low usually can you negotiate the lease end value %? Is it realistic to get a 55 %?
Thank you in advance (sorry for being lengthy),
Best to you all,
Gary
I just got a quote from a dealer in San Diego on a 36m/12K lease for an automatic with metallic paint.
MSRP: 32745
Buying price: 31745 (1000 off MSRP)
Acquisition fee 825
Money factor 0.00295
Monthly payment with 8% tax: 527 (0 down)
First payment including registration/title: 830
Is this the going rate in So. Cal. now,
or can anyone suggest a bimmer dealer that has a better price recently.
I don't mind a few hours driving to pick up a car that can save hundreds.
Thanks.
