Hi All - Thanks for such an awesome forum! Been soaking up a lot around here.
I’ve been working a deal on a BMW M240xi for a couple weeks. See below for the deal that’s come in from the manager. What is holding me back at this point is the way he’s valuing my trade (yes I know not ideal to trade to a dealer). He’s factored in the tax break on the trade, saving me $28 per month and over $1000 over the course of the lease. I’ve pushed for another $515 to bring my trade allowance to 1050 and may payment to an even $600. He won’t budge though. Would love to hear your thoughts.
thats a lot of dough for a m240xi. I don’t know the motivational aspect behind your purchase, but that is your call. but my two cents are: you’re getting a trade allow of 535$ (if I’m reading it correctly) that seems unimportant, especially when your monthly is $599. Also $599 does not fit under what a lot of users here consider as a good deal which is the 1% rule (paying 1% of the MSRP per month).
also if you’re already on here that means you’re trying to save money, so why not do MSDs? It’s a refundable deposit.
