Ok, so I look at SDorn's order and I feel a bit better about my deal. But, everyone on here seems to have gotten a better deal than me. I got:

325i Alpine White (30,900)
Auto Tranny (1275)
Power Seats (995)
Cold Weather (1000)
Park Distance (350)
Xenon Lights (800)
Logic7 Sound (1200)
Sport Package (1600)

Total MSRP = $38120 + Destination Fee of $695 = 38815.

The final negotiated price is $38,000.

Total due at signing = $3000 including:

$1500 cap. reduction
$600 refundable deposit
$600 advance payment
$300 taxes and fees

Monthly payment = $600 ($371 depreciation, $178 rent, $50 tax)

Other info I can pull off my signed contract:

2.9% interest rate
62% residual
36 month lease
15,000 miles per year

There is a bank fee of $825.

If I am really being taken here, please tell me. I'll call the dealer right now and tell them to keep the $1000 deposit and keep the car. I am not about to be taken, just not my style. Now, when I ran these numbers before I got around a $500 payment. But, changing from 12k miles to 15k miles raised the lease payment. Then taxes were added on to get to the $600. I am just seeing all these guys on here get 330s with more options for this price!

Now, if $540 or $550 is the so-so price, who cares. I make that difference in an hour's work. But, I still don't like the feeling that some new guy (who's already quite and gone since my purchase) took me for a ride.

I hope I get several opinions on this.
