Hi everyone,
We just had a baby and Im looking to trade in my 2017 430i coupe (has 52k miles and very good condition) to lease a little more practical 2020 330i xdrive. Included options are : driving assistance package, remote starter, heated front seat, heated steering wheels, ambient lights, digital cockpit pro with nav.
MSRP $47,135
My first time leasing and I don’t know much about RV and MF but I did asked the dealer for the breakdown. Please see the attached picture. What does everyone think of this ?
Thank you so much!image|231x500

Looks like $8,000 down and $350 a month. Not a good deal.
Have you gotten quotes for your car from a place like Carvana?
You’re at 8.9% pre-incentive discount. There’s plenty of room for improvement there.
Also, definitely get buy off quotes from other sources on the trade in.

Thanks for the quick response,
Carvana offered $18.4K; vroom offer was $18.6k, my local audi offer was $16.5 toward a Q5
Dumb question, how did you figured out the down payment was over $8 k, i thought it would just be the 5.5k credit from my trade in after the payoff?
Sounds like they are propping your trade up higher in lieu of discount then
Your best bet --> @Bostoncarconcierge
Do not EVER do a cash cap reduction (down payment) on a lease. Especially when you have zero sales tax!

Under deal, it literally says “Down Payment: 7871.XX”
There are a lot better deals on a 330i on this forum, but I agree with @chrishs2000 to not put a down payment.
I am by no means an advisor when it comes to this kind of stuff, but it does not seem like any part of this deal is good (trade, new lease, etc.)
It’s a BMW though. They like to apply the rebates as an upfront down payment, so the due at sale amount always seems higher than it is.

It’s not $8k down. OP is using his $5467.38 equity as the DAS.

Okay makes sense.
@Jon wouldn’t OP have more equity if sold it to VROOM for 2K more?
No
They over extended on the trade at the dealer by 2-4k

Gotcha. Thanks for keeping us all in the loop! Did he get the deal?
Lol
We’re talking about a loaner option at another local dealer.
More to come…
