First time leasing so I’m new. I know $0 down is desired. I have $2k (delta) from a trade in here but would be willing to sell that to carvana for maybe a little more.

Brand new 2025 BMW X3 M50 with a lot of options. We built it on their website. Dealer proposed this, which seems high:
They’re selling you this at MSRP. While it won’t lease well, I can save you thousands of dollars. I can get you one of these for 7% off. Even after the broker fee and shipping, you’d save a ton of money.
My napkin math says these numbers suggest you’ll pay $47,637.32 or thereabouts to drive a $70,875 automobile for 30k miles and 36 months. Which would be insane.
You don’t have to be leasing expert to do some elementary math: sum of all payments + cash/equity DAS. How does that compare to the price of the car after all discounts and rebates?
There’s no specific formulae on how to compare the first number to the second in order to consider it a good deal. But a bad deal should be immediately obvious.
