leasing a certified series car?

[bimmercontrol]

i have been browsing the inventory of a lot of dealers here in the toronto area. am pretty much finished selling my 530 to my parents. i got a great deal on it in the us but dont want to be going down again and paying cash, plus leasing will help me a lot of with the business.

now my problem is that im cheap and dont want to downgrade to a 3 (most likely). each time i look at a new car on bmw.ca i get well :mad: . the prices compared to bmwusa are a good 23k difference. so you can esentially pay more for a 335 here than a 535 in the us, easily.

anywho, to the point. i noticed the certified series cars dont seem bad at all. 160k km warranty + 5years. now my question, are they willing to lease these cars or will they just want to sell them? how would a lease work?

From what I've read, it seems that it's not the best value to lease a used car. I think it has something to do with how the value of the car is more subjective...Can someone else chime in on this and help our Canadian friend out?

hmn ya the suggestive value would screw you over i suppose. i would assume it would be cheaper consider the depreciation would be so little. but i guess they always get you somehow. some advise would greatly be appreciated :D

i think it has to do with the high interest cars for used lease that jacks up the monthly price greatly.
