You should re-post your question in Town Hall > Finance, Warranty & Insurance (View all discussions) > Lease Questions - Ask Here. One of the HOSTs, Car_man, can look up the leasing terms currently being offered by just about any manufacturer. If you tell him in your post where you live, what model(s) you're ineterested in, how long a lease you'd like, and how many miles you think you'll drive, he'll give you the money factor(s) and residual value(s). You can then use a lease calculator, such as the one available on this site, to figure out your monthly payment, or just ask him to do it for you.   Two things you should keep in mind:   1. The lease payments you see advertised are usually available only when you put money down ("capitalized cost reduction" or similar), which is something that Car_man and many others advise against doing.   2. Most (maybe nearly all) manufacturers will be changing their lease offers on January 1 or during the first full week in January.

#920 of 10276 I gave up on BMW. by benjamin753 Jan 01, 2004 (2:31 pm)
After calling all the BMW dealers in the Puget Sound, I got NOWHERE negotiating a good lease. A couple of the dealers said BMW doesn't deal much at the beginning of a model year, AKA the end of the calendar year. Why the dealer I spoke with wouldn't budge on the 2003 325xi they still had is beyond me.   I got what I think is a TREMENDOUS deal on a 2004 Volvo S60 AWD with Premium and Touring packages, silver metallic paint with charcoal leather. (I would have gotten the sport package but my wife didn't like the feel of the seats.)   Here are the vitals:   MSRP: $35,710.00 Total Lease Cost: $16,965.75 Monthly Payment: $443.50 Base Cap: $30,901.00 Residual: $19,729.25 Money Factor: 0.0019 Acq. Fee: $595.00 License: $154.75 Disp. Fee: $250.00   I had originally agreed upon a slightly more expensive lease through Volvo only to be blindsided by a $395 dispensation fee. After a LONG time in the office of the finance guy, the folks at the dealership reran the numbers with a lease from Wells Fargo, resulting with the numbers above.   Good luck all!   Benjamin

#922 of 10276 My Tale of Purchase by zithelp Jan 01, 2004 (3:36 pm)
I thought I Would post my experience for anyone interested since I enjoy reading others experiences. Started looking on a whim for a new car to commute in after driving a suburban for years. Approaching 50 yrs old and thought it was time for a change so a convertible was on my mind. After researching on Edmunds I thought the new audi AWD A4 convertible fit my bill. Didn't look at BMW much due to the "Beemer" stigma that I might be considered an old "yupi". On the way to the Audi dealer decided to stop by and test drive the BMW 330 ci convertable and after not being able to wipe the smile off my face went on to drive the Audi but no smile. Test drove the BMW 2 more times just to make sure! Meanwhile went online to get dealer quotes as far as 300 mi away and used these after I decided the BMW was for me to negotiate a deal. Purchased the same vehicle I test drove with 70mi on it. 2004 330 cic Silver Grey Metallic, Black interior with Auto transmission, cold weather pkg, Prem pkg,sport pkg, Xenon headlights, MSRP 49,595 including destination charge for 48,000 plus 59.00 title and licence. Not what I am used to getting off MSRP but read on this sight that convertibles were not too negotiable. Just called my sales rep after deciding and gave him my lowest internet price and he came back a few hundred more and for the convience of not driving 200 mi took the deal. Leased through leasecompare.com for 626.00mos plus tax 48 mos 0 down 48000 mi MF 0.00176 and feel good I got a decent deal with a pretty good lease. will let you know if I re-lease another convertable BMW in another 4 yrs, but after 450 mi on my new car I think I am a BMW convert!

#924 of 10276 Deal in Bellevue, WA by dbult Jan 02, 2004 (6:28 pm)
Just purchased a 2004 330ci convertible fully loaded including hardtop for $49,880 (MSRP - $52,490). Negotiated invoice up, not MSRP down. They didn't have anything I liked in stock so I had to order. Saying 1st of March for delivery. Guys in Bellevue were easy to work with.
#925 of 10276 ordered 330i by dave01282000 Jan 03, 2004 (1:01 am)
I had been in the market for a 325i originally, but after driving the 330 there was no going back. The best I could do after several hours of haggling was $1000 off MSRP:   Titanium Silver/Black Leatherette Sports Package Moonroof   Had to order, no "stripper" 330 like that would be available at any dealer. Last 2 weeks in February delivery.   hope everyone had a happy new year   Dave
