I know this is June 30, but does anyone have any inkling of what will happen with lease programs in July? I know the program now is very aggressive in terms of dealer cash, resids, and money factor. Should I wait a day and possibly miss this June program for a better July program?

Would you expect the lease payment to drop to release my existing car in July vs. now?

I have done some analysis and these are areas I have come up with that a dealer makes “profit” on a lease. Please correct me if I am wrong:
1. Money factor – addition to “buy rate” from BMWNA
2. Acquisition fee – addition to “buy rate” from BMWNA (usually $525)
3. Document fee – in addition to actual fees for title, reg, etc.
4. Dealer cash – keeping part of it or subtracting all form inv cost
5. Price OVER invoice cost

Within the invoice, there are such items as training and some type of advertising fee – are these actual or padded?

I would appreciate a quick reply since am trying to decide on new lease or release existing car. Unfortunately if I release, I can get car CPO’d, but was never told before end of maintenance that I should extend that before main was up, so buying extended main is no longer an option.

Thanks.
