However, I am certain you are wrong. 1k diff simply can’t happen. We are talking about less than 1% difference, on 30,000K loan that would be a $300 a year difference even on a simple rate. Since we are talking on about interest on a decreasing principal, this will be even lower than that, but even school math gives us the upper bound of $300 a year (and in reality less than that).
If you’re worried about being upside down….let them keep the car and find another vehicle to lease in the $450-550/month range.
May have to lower your standards a little….but $550/month on a BMW coming out of warranty would make me uneasy (without the fear of being upside down).
If you’re not going to listen to advice and buy it no matter what….take the shorter term ($0 down).
It’s Florida. I know dealers in Miami even open on Sunday’s. I am not from Florida but was once at Audi dealer near Hollywood on Sunday and I was the only customer looking for car. I test drove 3 CPO cars Q3, Q5 and A6. Sales guy was very nice fellow.
Normally dealer charge around 1.5k to CPO a car.
They have to bring car to a manufacturing standard and make sure it has good Tires , brakes etc to pass CPO standard. So they pass on that to the buyer. If car is not CPO then selling price should drop by 1-2 k .
Did they tell you if they doing anything to the car to bring to CPO specs or just giving you piece of mind for extra $400 if something breaks after the 4yr 50k warranty you are covered. $400 is not bad to get a car CPO if you planning to keep beyond company warranty. BMW do break right after you finish your warranty.
