dominioncarx-   Thanks for the info.. I am thinking leasing either Volvo s60 AWD or BMW (325xi or 330xi).   Therefore I wanted to get the numbers correct on 330xi. does 550/month include tax? Also, it seems that you did not pay any bank fee. Correct?
#946 of 10312 04 325xi by fzara2003 Jan 15, 2004 (3:36 pm)
Just ordered a new BMW 325xi, with the silver gray metallic and a gray interior w/Myrtle wood trim, close to fully loaded with: Premium Package Cold Weather Package Steptronic Automatic Transmission Sports Package Xenon headlights Apline 6 CD changer Metallic paint   I'm getting it on a lease for $370/month, 42 months, 5000 down, 12k miles WITH tax and the motor vehicle charge. Delivery is Friday, the 15th. (tomorrow!)   I'm really excited on getting the car, except my only regret is that I didn't get the Harmon Kardon upgraded 12 speaker system.
#947 of 10312 Delay in arrival of special-ordered BMW by crashtestdingo Jan 15, 2004 (5:56 pm)
Hello, all. My sister ordered a 325xi on Dec. 12. (She had to order because she wanted one with a stick.) It was supposed to arrive in seven, maybe eight weeks. The dealership now says there's been some sort of delay and it will arrive at the end of Feb. (Feb. 27 would be eleven weeks from the date of our visit to the dealership.) Anyone else in the same boat?

Why are you putting "down" $5000 on a lease? You should keep your $5K in the bank and let it work for you. You're giving BMWFS their money early. Add another $119 a month to your payment. Why not take the $5k and leave Multiple Security Deposits (which you will get back at the end of the lease) to effectively lower your interest rate (money factor of the lease).
#949 of 10312 $5K Down on Lease Deal by riez Jan 16, 2004 (5:38 am)
nyccarguy... Completely concur. Doesn't seem to be too good of a deal. There is a time value to money. The dealer starts off with $5K that you can't use.   Other thing that struck me is how poor is the standard equipment. Was a big reason I moved from 323ia to IS300. Using his list of optional equipment, half of his optional equipment is standard on the IS300, not to mention the 3.0L engine:   Premium Package (leather & sunroof)-Optional Cold Weather Package-Optional Automatic Transmission-Optional   Sports Package-Essentially Standard   Xenon headlights-Standard 6-disc CD changer-Standard Metallic paint-Standard   And you can't get LSD in 325i/330i.

I'd be interested in any comments on current delivery times, as I want to time things to get my car in mid-April or so. The BMW folks at the car show last week still said 60 days, but if it is stretching out for some reason I'd like to know. Or is it only the xi that's delayed?
#951 of 10312 fzara by kyfdx HOST Jan 16, 2004 (7:40 am)
I agree... don't put $5K down.. You should restrict your out of pocket to first payment and security deposit. The bank will own the car, not you... If you happened to total it, The bank would get paid off, and your down payment would disappear. Leasing can sometimes be a good deal, but down payments should be avoided.   regards, kyfdx
