Add to that the leasing Dealership has to buy most every lease returns they originated, BMWFS does not want the cars being returned elsewhere. |

Back in January, the lease buyout promotion was $4500. Wish I could have taken advantage of OP's $6K offer!

Demand for cars and trucks in the U.S. is expected to drop 27% to 12.5 million vehicles this year, IHS Markit estimates, which would be the fewest for the industry since 2010.
Used-car prices are expected to plunge somewhere in the range of 8% to 16% through June, according to J.D. Power, then stabilize by year-end as the country reopens and demand picks back up. Those sour predictions match up with what the Hueneme Port expects: at least a 25% drop in auto shipments in the coming year. https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...0#post26119790 |

It means used cars aren't selling, new either, due to C-19. BMW doesn't want to take back leased cars to have them sit on the lot, they'd rather give major incentives to entice people into keeping them. It's a gift horse, don't look it in the mouth.

That doesn't mean prices will rise then, fwiw. And that's the most optimistic outlook. |

Is there a set monthly buyout promotion offered by BMWFS to the dealerships? I thought there was a set price for each individual car between a dealership and BMWFS.

Used car prices were coming down due to oversupply even BEFORE Covid19 as USA began seeing same max auto ownership / sales drop as EU has been seeing for last year +.
Covid 19 accelerated decline in prices. So anyone saying decline in prices would "drop like bird shit post reboot" is 100% incorrect. It's why the lease above ending in January was offered $4500 off where last year BMWFS would offer $0 off and Dealer could not sell to leasee for a discount greater than $1000. It had already begun. It's also why BMW (and ALL brands) stated growth would have to come from China. |

The OP said you need to call in to get the $6k entered into the system, but I wonder what happens when you just go online and generate a payoff letter. I'm asking because that's what happened to me with my $4500 discount.

For clarity's sake (maybe I could have done a better job with my original post) - I simply called in to get lease turn-in instruction/information and the rep on the phone offered it to me without asking. And I told them I had no interest in purchasing. I then checked my online account and the purchase price had been discounted. I'm not sure if the discount is automatic - but in my case I didn't ask for it :-) |

You didn't have to ask for it, they're no doubt told to do whatever they can to keep more used cars from coming on to the lot, where they'll just sit and depreciate. By the time the dust settles with C-19 there's going to be a huge used car buyer's market.

The interest rates and incentives on CPO's are getting better too. I'm seeing 0.9% for up to 60 months, so you can probably go lower on a 48 month term. By comparison, it was 1.99% for 60 months and 0.99% for 48.
Definitely check if the added cost to CPO the car is less than the higher interest rate offered by your bank. In my case, CPO came out slightly ahead.

Yep, when I generate the payoff documents I do see "Customer Purchase Promotion $2,500.00". Nothing close to what you've gotten by calling in though.

Thanks for posting this information. I also have a 340i (2018) and am leaning toward a lease buyout next year. Given BMW's past stance to not offering any type of incentive I was waffling on that idea but if this continues I would definitely be in the "buy-out" camp.

Light Trucks outsold cars for the first time ever in USA in April. New Car Sales were so low in UK for April the Tesla Model 3 was the #1 selling model and it wasn't even in Top 10 previously. Not to mention everyone knows how few are being produced. And with 20% of USA workers out of work, people will think long and hard about buying an auto now, new or used. |

This is my first post on this forum ...
The lease on my 2017 BMW 330e ends June 23. I called BMWFS this morning, and they offered the $6000 discount on the residual. I may take it. I have less than 13K miles on the car and no dings/dents. I'm deciding whether to take the lease-buyout, replace with Mini PHEV or Volvo SC60 PHEV, or extend the lease for up to six months with a pre-order of the 2021 BMW 330e. Any thoughts? I have read on this forum that deliveries of the 2021 BMW 330e model is delayed and may not be available until at least December. I have not yet taken a test drive of the Mini or Volvo. |

Same situation for me. Lease on my 2017 F31 ends in 4 weeks. BMW lowered the residual by $6000. My buy out is $30,000 with 26000 miles. It was a zero down lease.
Im taking it as I special ordered the car with the Sport package, track package etc... Dark gray with red interior. Alcantara trim with carbon fiber. P.S. I joined a while back but forgot all info and my email no longer works to update... had to re-register with new name. Last edited by DWCWagon; 06-04-2020 at 08:15 PM.. |
