Not sure you can do much here, you are already getting ~%10 off the price, is this 2017? On a 2016 you can aim for %17-20 off MSRP. 15k a year doesn’t help either. I did a 10k lease with my X5 and bough miles later in case I needed saving 2% on the residual, but if you know you need 15k then it doesn’t really matter.
Not every car will lease well. At that type of money, from a perspective of being financially reasonable, there are going to be many better finance options. For example, you could buy and a new Q7 Premium Plus for similar money, which would surely cost you less to own over 3 years (popular, well reviewed and going to hold value better than X5).
Some people have had to re-examine their very long relationships with their “hooked up” dealer after digging & learning from this forum. Some have realized, their “one salesperson” for the last 20 years and the last 10 cars was not really that great and they could do better.
True. FWIW, your discount is fairly standard for a current model year, non-demo SUV. You are being hindered by high price, low residual and inability to use MSDs (NY). If you aren’t set on the BMW, go drive the 2017 Q7 3.0. Better vehicle imo. The current X5 platform is several years old and is well behind Q7 in many ways.
Jason_B but from what I’ve read from many people saying that Audi leases horribly. I just saw a 3.0 Q7 and it looks sharp but never looked at any numbers from what everyone has been saying on here.
Will not lease well, but probably not terrible to buy. Looking at the values of the previous gen Q7, depreciation is pretty reasonable for a luxury SUV.
This is another offer i got today. Basic x5 thats what I want. According to calculator here - lease years is 7. Discounted msrp is 9%, which is good. This dealership is in NJ so doc fee is high. I will have to ask about no money down and do MSD instead. Probably get them to lower base MF rate as dealer in NY was giving me 0.00114 before MSD reduction. NAny other suggestions.
