Which I calculated is no more than $2000 off 58k. I have no negotiating skills whatsoever.

I also talked to another dealer through email, and they said they can get me $1000 over invoice not including incentives and special offers. So now this sounds like a great deal to me. Thanks for the advice.

GOOD! It's great deal, so now check this guy up http://www.bestbuyleasing.com and tell them to give you their best prices or can they do any better. and im pretty sure they will give a way better price. and if u wanna go low ask for MSD (Multiple Security Deposit)

Leave incentives out of it. And don't discuss MSD's until your ready to sign. Dealers will usually try quote you a monthly payment that may appear reasonable. You need to know how they arrived at that figure.

First negotiate price. Then make sure that they're not padding the Money Factor. If they're using a money factor of .00167, then they're padding it by the maximum allowed by BMW. Demand a Money Factor of .00127. Also make sure that they're not padding the fees. (Acquisition fee should be $725; Dealer/prep/processing fee varies from state to state, but you usually shouldn't pay more than $400; title and tags should be a couple of hundred more plus tax.)

To get your price, send an email to 4 or 5 sales managers or fleet managers (not salesmen). Tell them, I'm ready to buy, no need for a test drive, no need to haggle...I will give you a quick and easy sale if you will sell me this car (include specs) at $54,600, which is $650 over invoice. I bet one of them will accept.

Once you've negotiated the price, ensure that your getting the base Money Factor, and ask for a break down of all the fees. Once that's out of the way, apply any incentives you might have coming your way. I believe the only incentive right now is the $750 loyalty cash incentive. If you're eligible, then you'll get your car for $100 below invoice.

Then you may opt for multiple security deposits. Seven MSD's will lower your Money Factor to .00078.

Hope this helps.

Why wouldn't you just say "I'd like to buy the car tomorrow. Would you sell the car at invoice?" Don't leave him any room, be firm. If you want to budge, that's up to you.. if he doesn't come down low enough, go to another dealer. Dealers are a dime a dozen - you have the upper hand.

Know your #'s and calculate the lease at invoice beforehand. Don't believe any calculation the dealer makes, calculate it yourself.

I just got a dealer to agree to a car at $100 below invoice, plus rebates. In the end its YOUR money. Why leave $200 on the table?

Yes, that's $288 that stays in your pocket. But it can be difficult for someone to get the dealer to sell at invoice; quite easy to get the dealer to sell at $600-$800 over invoice. All I'm saying is: if you don't like to haggle and want to just get the deal done, you might consider the additional $200-$300 acceptable.

I don't like to haggle. So what I did was send an email to 5 dealers in my area telling them what I wanted to pay for the car, and what I would accept in terms of MF and fees. I told them that if my price was acceptable, we could sign an agreement same day, nofurther discussion. Two said they couldn't do it. One made an offer that was a bit higher. And the other two accepted my price. I went with the first one to respond.
No, you're getting your math wrong here. Go back and double-check the lease formula. Residual is based on MSRP (not negotiated price) so your entire discount goes into your pocket.

In other words, if you get the dealer to drop the selling price by $800 extra, you save $800 over the term of the lease, not just 36% of that amount as you seem to think. The residual never changes since it is based on MSRP and not selling price, so as you drop the selling price, that comes directly out of the depreciation portion of your payment. And then in addition to that, you save a little more in interest and tax.

So if you haggle an extra $800, you save that amount. Up to you if you want to do it, but I know I am not interested in paying $800+ more than I have to.

Yeah, you're absolutely right. Wasn't thinking straight. (Luckily I didn't let my bad math get in the way of negotiating a good deal. Or maybe I got dumber after signing my lease?)

Was using the kind of logic that helped me justify getting options I didn't really need--as in, well that's an $900 option, but it's actually only another $340 out of pocket so....

My bad. Ignore everything I've said.

Btw, sarafil, how are you liking your ride? I ordered the xDrive (Sport Line) as well. It's due to arrive in a few weeks.

Well with each new package the MSRP goes up... so you aren't paying the full price. Only the depreciated amount

I'm enjoying it quite a bit. I've had several 3-series in the past and have driven plenty with xDrive. The F30 is the best of the bunch yet.

Exactly. Makes it easy to keep adding on options.

But once you've optioned your car, and MSRP and residual are set, any deduction you're able to negotiate goes into your pocket. I gave faulty advice--which I've deleted to avoid messing people up.

Was wrestling with getting an xDrive over a RWD. I knew AWD drive made more sense for me, as I spend a good deal of time in Montreal and often take 10-hour drives in wet/snowy conditions (Adirondacks and Quebec). So I only test drove 328ix and 335ix; didn't bother test driving the RWD.

Do you find that the driving dynamics on AWD similar to the RWD (in everyday driving)?

May buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 335 Sedan with 15,000 miles per year are .00127 and 62% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tiers.

I think this is accurate. Which is pretty low if you ask me, but the credit limits have been getting better and better and they are opening up the window for the scores that are considered "top" tier.
