Last month the money factor for a 330i was .0019 and the residual was 61 for a 3yr/36k mile lease. But that program expired on 7/31. But I would think the numbers should be in the same ballpark. Jon, care to shed a little light on my assumption:dunno:

Thanks

Everything helps with the negotiations!

So . . . what happened ? ? Did you get it ??

Not exactly

Ever hear of a thing that is way to good? On the phone the sales guy said in rough terms zero down, same payment plus or minus $20/month. That was enough to get me to drive 90 miles and take a look seeing as I was asking for the impossible (returning a 01 330i 14 months early). I knew I was in trouble when his first offer was the same monthly with $5k down. Then the noted .0019 MF we talked about on the phone became .0028 is the best they can get and nobody ever gets .0019, not even him as an employee. We danced for an hour and then I realized this guy was shooting my entire Sunday. I said thanks but I'll shop around…

Sorry to hear that . . . some salesman are such snakes

A trip to Santa Barbara is your solution.

I think that is the right answer for most of us:thumbup:

Only 2712 miles from Harrisburg to there:yikes: Better make it a sweet deal for me then

325xiT

Harrisburg... I heard that!!
I've been to NJ and MD for mine.
(My personal theory is the used/trade-in value in "our" area is lower due to the thousands of cars that are at Manheim Auto Auction. Their Black Book gets alot of travel)

Oh god not the Manheim Auction.... You can find some real winners there. I've heard some people have some really good deals, but my one friend bought 3 cars there and after the 3rd he will never go back. Nothing but transmission and rear end problems from the start on 2 of the cars. I don't know how their 150 odd inspection there is but I will never buy used.
