hey guys! another question for you. When you lease an European Delivery car, what are the upfront costs? I mean acquisition fee, deposit ......also do they charge you a dealer prep fee? Thank you so much!

This would be better asked in the 'Ask a dealer' forum or the ED forum.


In short -- Fees are about the same as a regular lease and an ED lease works about the same as a regular lease.

Different:
ED discount instead of no discount or BMWNA 'dealer stock' program.
Depending on your state there may be some sales tax differences.
You have to pay those upfront costs (cap dep, security deposit...) about 30 days before you go get the car.
You keep making lease payments while you are waiting for redelivery. Could easily be two payments and no car.
