Payment:
615/ month for 24 months
5700 Down
12k Miles

 

I'm no expert on leases but both the down payment and the monthly payment seem high to me

 

e90post.com is your best resource (see you there). That lease rate seems to be on par with similarly equipped 328's. Why such a high dp????? It is a lease.

 

Huh I dont know much about leasing...but if you figure $5,700 + ($615x24 = $14,760) = $20,460 on a car for 24 months...

 

well the 5700 is including the first month payment and taxes so it comes out to 19864.78... MSRP is 46375 so if in 2 years this car would about 27 thousand then it would be worth just leasing... what do u think?

 

Oh, I just realized your from NYC. Contact my sales guy Henry Lou at Rallye BMW, and get a lease quote.. He will give you a better deal

 

OK ill do that, and tell him that who sent me?

 

Tell him Sean sent you. Let me know when you are prepared to see him so I can give him a heads up.

 

still, that means you are still putting a lot of money down, unless they are MSD that you are getting back at the end of lease

i never put money down for lease

 

so these are the real numbers, 2000 down+ First Month, Taxes and Security Deposit, then 615 a month for 24 months... 12K miles...

 

first of all i wouldn't even put 2k down, i never do down on lease

minus first month and other fees, how much deposit you are paying?! 1 month? that's for MSD? why just one?

 

What is the list price? BMW has the most aggressive lease rates in the industry, it should be much better.

 

not trying to argue, but i thought mb is even more aggressive. either way, leasing bmw / mb and you almost always get deals

 

BMW and Infiniti are the most aggresive. You can lease a higher level car for the price of the competition. In other words, you can lease a 5 series for the price of a 3 series. INfiniti is already offering 0 down $349/379 deals on the EX 35 (which is BRAND new) and G35.
