Working up a deal for a friend here on 2 new 2010's (company leases) and I could swear I saw something a couple days ago here on the boards that said there was a $1260 Step Credit. Now I can't seem to find that.

Is there a a Step Credit currently on 328's?

The dealer here is not giving him the $1500 Holiday Credit, PLUS using a mark-up on the money factor to .00245. If he is going to use the .00245 he has to give the $1500 !! The dealer has this deal about $80 bucks per month more and not budging. My buddy is hacked.

Would appreciate confirmation or denial on the Step Credit.

Thanks

Holiday credit is applied as a CAP REDUCTION not as a discount to the sell price.

See blue

There are no option credits on 2010 3 series sedan models, only 2009's.

OK, I am confused. The 1500 credit does come off the Cap Cost, which with exception to how sales tax is calculated in Texas, is the sales price. I understand that this has nothing to do with MSRP, but ultimately the 1500 comes off the Selling price/Cap Cost (again, tax notwithstanding).

my dealer here was using 6k off of 750i as discount not credit, for sure they try to pull one on you.

Okay, let's clear it up.

Holiday credit is a manufacturer to customer rebate; the dealer must apply it to all who lease/finance thru FS.

It's all in the figure of speech/language/contract. It's either half full or half empty

Example;
You walk in and lease a 328i
Buyer and seller agree on a selling price of 30K

30K is your initial cap cost < selling price
Buyer now wants to apply the holiday credit to reduce the selling price
30K - 1,500 = 28,500.00 < Holiday credit is not applied this way on the lease agreement

In your lease agreement/contract;
Initial cap price is still 30K
Down payment will show 1,500.00

Is this the same as leasing the car for 28,500? Yes and no

If the 1,500.00 is applied as a discount to lower the selling price you do not have to pay tax. Because it shows as a down payment you are taxed.

Bottom line;
You lease a 328i you are getting a 1,500 down payment from BMW :thumbup:

Leasee is still 100% responsible in paying all the normal drive off fees including taxes

If dealer says to you; come on in I can lease you a car with 0 down at 300 a month. Does this mean you drove out of the dealer with paying no money up front. Chances are no...because down payment is not a requirement BUT inception fees are. If you did drive away with out paying a penny up front than all they did was roll the inception fees into your adjusted cap = payments.
