Leasing a 2012 Need Advice
I'm interested in a 2012 335i coupe which has an MSRP of $54,600. According to the salesperson they're discounting $9,750 from the MSRP and this is the deal they gave me.
MSRP $54,600 Selling Price $44850 Residual 60% MF .00135 36 Months/ 10,000 miles a year $2,000 drive off $489/month with tax I was hoping for around $450 with tax |

Its not fully loaded, missing a few options here and there. As for as the insurance, is it more expensive for a 2012?

Ok what are the options or package the car has? Also, here FL or at least for me it's very high. Insurance for me is like paying for two cars...$400 each month. (In Florida) When you're leasing a car, the leasing company and the insurance company chose you coverage. That's why I will buy instead of leasing. Insurance will be less expensive. Just my two cents

Yeh I know about age and all others factor, but make sure you get a quote first from your inssurance company. On the other hand, I would buy the car man if I really want it. This is a good price but if you plan to lease and buy, I also recommend waiting until next summer when residual values are low. That will make your buyout price lower... just my two cents. good luck.

I think your rate will get even lower if you put down 7 security deposits. This will reduce your MF even more. What is included in the drive-off?I'd also go for 12K or 15K miles/year, especially given that you're in CA, where you'll most likely be doing more than 27miles of driving per day (10K/year). |

What do you mean by 7 security deposits? My down payment includes, first months payment, dealer fees, license and registration, bank fee. |

So I would have to put a 3k security deposit to lower my payment? Nah I don't think thats a good idea to be honest.

What's your rationale? I saved over $110/month in "interest" by reducing my MF with multiple security deposits. The $5K I put down won't earn that much interest sitting in a bank account...

I just got an X6 and put down 7 MSD's (7 X $750 = $5250) with MSD's - $724 a month Without MSD's - $780 a month So...In reality, $5250 that is fully refundable after the lease, it is "saving" me $56 a month which comes out to $2,016 through out the lease. I do not know any bank that can guarantee you that kind of return. MSD's is not a down payment, it is a security deposit that you will get back from BMW once the car is returned. Each MSD reduces the MF by .00007 so end of the day it does add up, let your money work for you!

I just feel like its a bad idea giving away 3k and not seeing it until 2016. I guess its only 3k though so its not too bad. I gotta talk to the salesman about this. |

If you mean capitalized cost reduction by "down payment", I would advise against this. This is lost money. If the car is totalled, your insurance company will pay off the value of the car to BMW, effectively ending your lease agreement, so you'd get your SD's back. Nearly every leasing agreement has the requirement for a SD, FYI. |

If what has been said in this thread is true, then its a no brainer to put a security deposit. From my calculations I'll save about 30 bucks a month if I put 7 MSDs down |

Also how do I find out how much each MSD is? Is it a standard figure or varies depending on the loan?
Edit: just read that its the monthly payment. |

MSRP: $54,600 Residual at 60%: $32,760 Selling Price: $44,850 Total Depreciation: $12,090 Base monthly payment: $335.83 Interest per month at .00135: $104.77 Monthly Payment with interest: $440.60 Monthly Payment with tax (8.75): $479.16 I got my car without any MSDs. $2,180 drive off $470/month with tax. I also traded in my old lease which they valued at $500 less than my payoff. So divide that into the payments as well which is around $15/month I got a pretty decent deal. The car is $2,600 under invoice. Without my trade I would have been around $450 a month with tax which was my goal. |

you are absolutely correct, i miscalculated your interest charge.. should of rechecked before i posted. Either way you get the advantage of MSD's now and you got a great negotiated price!
Congrats on your new ride.... you'll love it!

If I could get some help here...
I've never done a lease before and I'm debating between leasing or buying a CPO. For a 2013 335i MT with M-Sport package, Premium package, and premium sound package with USAA $3000 incentive + regional/destination fees ($1495) invoice is $45,910. How dow I figure out the MF? I'm assuming residual is based off of 60% at 36 months and is a percentage of the invoice price? How does one figure out what the dealer price is outside of asking them? I'm looking at a 2010 335i CPO MT with M-sport, Navi. Originally listed at $40,895. When I went in to take a look it was $38,500. I said $39,000 OTD - they said no. The next day they lowered to $37,250. I'm debating whether to call back and make a counter-offer or to lease a new one. Or keep looking for a CPO. Would appreciate anybody's thoughts/advice/help. |
