Been negotiating for a space gray 335i coupe for a couple of weeks and have two competing deals on the table. I intend to lease the car (let’s leave debates about this issue for a later time) for 3yr/10k.

Car and options at invoice (without maco):

Base car: $37,715 ($40,800 msrp)
prem
sport
cold
met paint
ipod
dest

Dealer invoice (again, without maco): $43,290
MRSP: $46,850

Both dealers claim maco fees in the range of $400+

Dealer A:

Out the door price (does not include tax and registration): $44,976 with free mats

Amt. due at lease inception: $1,818

MF: .00285 (full .0004 dealer mark-up)

Monthly payment: $753


Dealer B:

Out the door price (does not include tax and registration): $45,360 with mats (I’m being charged for them)

Amt. due at lease inception: $1,802

MF: .00265 (.0002 dealer mark-up)

Monthly payment: $754



A couple of questions.

First, do these qualify as decent deals?

Second, unless I’m missing something, no real advantage here in either deal. Leaving the issue of multiple MSDs off the table, Dealer A’s refusal to give a little on the MF completely negates the great out the door price they are giving me. They simply refuse to budge. Dealer B won’t budge on price but will give on MF (at least a bit).

Additional thoughts?

Yeah, saw that. Thanks. Problem here is that all three dealers I've been dealing with markup the MF rate. 2 of 3 have refused to even discuss it, which was kind of a shock to me given what I've seen on the boards.

While I am no grammer nazi, I literally have no idea what this sentence means.

Just to clarify, the monthly payment quoted above INCLUDES tax.

Dealer B has now agreed to match Dealer A on price with the reduced MF (.00265), dropping the monthly payment to $675 before tax.

I know I'm hitting bottom lines due to the fact that 3 different dealers have refused to match this deal and Dealer A (who I've had a long-standing relationship with) has refused to match and walked away from the negotiations.
