Lease end buyout - should I? Advice please!
Have been doing some research on negotiating the residual for lease buyout. BMW Financial are a dead end, so just wondering if any of you had any luck with negotiating with dealerships.
Mine gave me a flat no. But I'm going to try again, maybe ask higher up the food chain. My residual is $39.5 k for 2011 M3 Coupe w/ 37k miles. Lease end costs: $1600 for new hood (Thanks Deer), + $800 for miles overage. Good deal to keep it? Can you buy through a new dealer (not he one you leased it from)? Thanks! Al |

man, second time this month I've heard bmwfs and dealerships not budging on the buyout price at lease end on an e9x m3. My other friend ending up cpo'ing it which helped a little. I've been told our cars resale value has been very good, especially overseas so I would assume BMW would rather get the car back and resell at a higher price and hopefully get us to lease another car. I'll be in the same boat soon as Novemeber will be 90 days out from my lease end...I'm hoping to buy out my car as well, but we shall see how the numbers workout....

$39.5k is definitely well below market value for a 2011 with low mileage. Why would BMW negotiate when they know if you turn the car in the can re-sell it for probably well into the 40's or beyond?

I'm over by about 8k miles - so that's in the $1200 range.
I'm getting quoted 4.14% / 60 months to buy the car uncertified, 1.9% or 0.9% certified for 60 and 48 months respectively. That 4.14 % seems high and I'd be quick to refinance and save a point. Again, anyone have experience with finance rates, are they BMWF fixed or is there play at different dealerships? |

Yeah you could buy the car yourself today and flip it for more tomorrow on a optioned 2011 with those miles. It would be a little hassle, and sales tax might add some cost, but you're below market.

For the record, BMWF rates range from 5% to 15% - they said they want to push the business to the dealerships and don't compete. So don't bother with them.
Going from dealer to dealer I've been able to shave some fractions off the interest. There's no budging on the residual as the car is under market value and, as I was told, in high demand. |

Haha yeah it's all about what you want in a vehicle.
After getting rear ended twice in about a year, I swore I was going to buy an SUV... but that wore off. |

I had the same problem, they will NOT negotiate the price. The bottom line is you signed the papers in the beginning of the lease knowing what the buyout would be at lease end. I did end up CPO'ing mine with them as well, it saved me a tiny amount of money, as compared to buying a warranty separate. I financed through BMW at 0.4%. It worked out for me, a little bit of a headache being that I had some mods on the car, so it interfered with the CPO process, but its done, signed and the car is mine. If you love it.. then buy it... It is a good price, and my guy said I will get more money if I ever decide to sell it privately anyway. Im happy....

when you CPO'd the car... what trouble did you have to go through with the mods? did you have to return the car back to stock when they inspected it? just wondering as I'm gonna be in the same situation and looking at my options.
