Re: 2007 bmw 650 or 2010 audi a5 ? [kyfdx]
Written by: erickpl on Mar 17, 2010 6:24:53 AM
Having owned a 6 and an Audi, I can say BMW's electronics are worlds above Audi's. MMI is a great technology, but little nuances here and there make it goofy. Trunk latches that won't engage. Sensors saying directional lights are bad. Sensors report quite a few false positives on our Audi. If they've improved over the last few years, the new S5 would be a serious contender. My 6 convertible didn't ... Read More

Are you a boulevard cruiser, or a hard-core driving enthusiast? It's not that cut-and-dried, but maybe, close... From a pure value standpoint, the A5 is probably the better deal.. and, a better looking car.. Unless you are a real RWD fanatic, that's the way I would go.. more warranty left on the Audi.. I haven't checked prices, but that seems high for the 650i vert...

Hi, To begin with, A5 is new, looks better, nicer interior, only 3400m used is nothing compared to 27000m. If u could get a used S5 might be a better choice.

You're not wasting my time at all, brandyf1. I'm always glad to help. Did you say that the salesperson who you spoke with wanted you to make a $50,000 down payment on your lease ?!?!? You were right to walk away from that deal. It's never a good idea to make a large down payment on a leased vehicle. I would be happy to give you an idea of what sort ... Read More

Hi jtrejo. The money factor that you were quoted for this car looks good to me. It is right in line with BMW Financial Services' buy rate for a 36 month lease of this car to a non-returning customer with a waived security deposit. This is a good sign. Now let's take a look at the other important aspect of this deal, the selling price. A 2007 BMW M6 Coupe that ... Read More

Re: BMW 650i convertible - Lease Question [marlasw]
Written by: Car_man on Feb 4, 2007 7:59:17 AM
Hi marlasw. BMW is not currently providing any lease support on the 2007 6-Series, but the money factor that you were quoted is still too high. BMW FS' buy rate standard money factor varies by region, but it should be around .00320 or so. $6,980 is too much money to put down on a lease. I always advise consumers against making down payments on leased vehicles. Consumers who do risk losing ... Read More

Thanks sodais350. BMW is not currently providing any lease support on the 2007 6-Series. As a result, if you were to lease one through BMW Financial Services right now, you would have to use its standard lease program. Its buy rate standard lease money factor varies by region, but it is currently around .00320. BMW FS' current 36 month, 12,000 mile per year residual value for the 2007 650i Coupe is ... Read More

Hi doclonghorn. I would be happy to estimate what the lease payment would be like on this car for you. In order for me to do so I need to know its approximate selling price. For now I will assume that you are getting a $3,000 discount on it. If you are able to negotiate a better price, the payment will be lower than what I come up with and vice ... Read More

650Ci lease question
Written by: mkp6er on Nov 19, 2007 1:43:49 PM
Hi, I'm considering a lease on either 2007/2008 650Ci. How do I determine if I'm getting a good deal? I'm not familiar with leasing programs however, it appears BMW is offering $4500 rebates on leases of 2007 vehicles to clear them out. What should I expect the price of the car to be compared to invoice pricing? The dealer is claiming their best price is $5k over MSRP (ridiculous!) and for ... Read More

Re: Is this a good deal? [tonyg9]
Written by: Car_man on May 3, 2007 4:01:04 AM
Hi tonyg9. The car that you described has a spread of around $6,400 between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. The discount that you were quoted, $4,400, looks pretty good to me. The money factor is slightly high though. BMW Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor for a 36 month lease of a 2007 BMW 650 Coupe is .00285 with the payment of a security deposit at ... Read More

You're welcome, knottyhottie. If there is a huge difference between the selling price that you can negotiate on a 2006 model and the price that this dealer is willing to sell a 2007 model for it might be worth your while to lease a leftover '06 model. I would be happy to calculate sample lease payments on both a 2006 model and a 2007 model to show you what the difference ... Read More

Drlease, I've asked around a couple dealers and they don't have the 2007 650 in stock yet. Does a leasing company get access to certain cars before the dealership does? Or has the 07 650 been released in certain parts of the country already? I'm in Southern California. Also, do you have any leasing companies you can rec? Thanks for your help =)

knottyhottie, You CAN get money off on the 07 models right now. Not only that, but you can get a lower money factor than BMW FS. I work for a leasing company and we offer 2007 650's at $2000 off MSRP. Not only that, but we can get a .00309 MF on these cars. the BMW FS Program on these cars is NOT the way to go.

Hi Car_Man, Thanks for the response. I talked to the manager again and he said that I should get the 2006 model b/c they are trying to get rid of it and I can negotiate a better selling price. He said that with the 2007, I wouldn't be able to negotiate much since it would be newly released and they never go under msrp. I know that the 07 will have ... Read More

Hi knottyhottie. When vehicles do not have any sort of lease money factor support, like the BMW 6-Series right now, it is often best to lease the brand new model, i.e. the 2007 650 Coupe, instead of a leftover model. As you were told, the 2007 650 will have higher residual values and assuming that you can negotiate a selling price that is fairly close to the price that you would ... Read More

Hi there, I was wondering if it was better for me to wait for the 2007 650 coupe to come out in November rather than leasing a 2006 right now? I was told conflicting advice from 2 different sales people. A sales person told me to wait for the 2007 release as it would have a higher residual value. The manager at another dealership told me that I would get a ... Read More
