I’m located in Georgia and previously financed two BMW,s and wanted to tryout an EV so I’m looking to lease the a 24 I435. What are thoughts on the deal that is being offered.
MSRP- 55895
Sale Price- 51155
Adding tire and wheel- 1995- Owned 2 other BMW’s always had issues with tires
Term 39/12K miles
Monthly-650
Money factor-00240
Money Down-$500
Are the rebate and loyalty factored into the deal? Looks like you have loyalty based on the 39 month deal. There are some deals for the i4 e35 posted in Marketplace for below $500 a month but with 10K miles. And drop the tire and wheel plan. $1995 covers at least 5 tires.
That’s why I asked what car it was. The i4 doesn’t have a 39-month lease deal. There’s something odd with their deal sheet. The rebates matched an i4, which is why I was confused. Either way, I can blow this deal out of the water.
New to the website. Didn’t realize I posted in Cali. My credit has taken a hit since I purchased my last BMW in 2019. Around what percentage is the average MF?
Most tire shops near me don’t charge to fix a flat if the tire can be repaired. One shop charged my mother $5 one time.
Even so, a brief search at a regional tire chain showed several tires for the i4 available at around $200. You would have to replace all four tires three times before the benefits outweighed the costs.
I would reach out to a broker and they’ll hook you up. A price quote is free, so you’ll know how good or bad this deal is.
Nice speaking with you! Happy to help whenever you’re ready. I can’t imagine what games this dealer is planning on playing quoting you on a 39 month term for an i4.
There’s nothing inherently defective about the Bridgestone, Continental, etc tires that come on BMWs. Those are some of the best tire manufacturers in the world.
More often than not, it’s about the routes people choose and the care (or lack thereof) with the way people drive. Moral hazard (knowing one is insured) often makes it worse.
Whether you prepay for tire replacements or pay later out pocket, the risk posed by frequent flats or the time wasted to replace them — you’re never getting that back. Something to consider regardless of whether you are prepaying or postpaying.
