  Hi jalmanzar. I am not intimately familiar with what the market is like for the X1 right now, but if I was interested in getting one in an area that has a decent level of competition I personally would shoot for a selling price of $500 or so over invoice minus any available incentives.

It's been in Europe for a long time, it's built on the Focus platform which has been proven to be a good platform, and the hybrid drive is the third generation, that's improved over the 2nd generation from 2012 Fusion Hybrid.

  Both Ford's are FWD and so driving on adverse wintertime roads could get a bit dicey, or worse, most especially since you have been spoiled by the BMW's stellar driving dynamics. Regular fuel will have a adverse impact on FE only at or near WOT, when the effective compression ratio and the mechanical CR or equal or almost equal. Only then will the engine ECU have need to "pour more fuel ... Read More

  Written by: Car_man on Sep 24, 2012 4:27:59 PM

  Hi netarc. The reason why the dealers are quoting you a higher money factor is that they are marking BMW FS' buy rate up. This is pretty typical with BMW dealers, particularly on new models like the X1. If you can, try to find a dealer that will calculate your payment using the .00145 buy rate.

  Thanks Car_man, I appreciate your replay. Looks like the lease interest rate is 0.00145 (APR 3.48%) and purchase finance rate @ 3.79%. From your experience, which is better? buy or lease...... I review the lease contract there are so many fees ......but I do know BMW owners who lease usually end up buying the car at the lease end using their 0.9% APR ......Will that work better financially?

  Hi awu0419. .00145 is the lowest possible money factor for a lease of an X1 right now through BMW FS. It doesn't really matter how high your credit score is...as long as your score is over 675 you will qualify for this factor. BMW's lease programs are typically fairly attractive. If you feel as though a lease would suit your needs, I personally wouldn't have any problem with leasing an X1 ... Read More
