I’m looking at a M5 comp, 10,000 miles, $0 down. Here’s what they are offering. But the money factor the dealership is quoting doesn’t work with the math… Need help!!
I’m sorry that was confusing the first numbers are for a M5 comp $123,435-$13,785 offered price $110,988. $1522 month 36 months $10k per year zero down.
then they have a custom painted M8 comp that was msrp 157k the will sell for 142k they told me my payment would be $1975 36 months 10k per year zero down.
I didn’t think I could afford the M8 but after Looking at the info on this great website/ msg board I’m wondering maybe I could? my max is $1500 month I’m sure like a DA I must have mentioned in my excitement of driving these two amazing cars… I’m 54 fell like I’ve never really got a good deal on a car! This site is amazing!!
Welcome. Hopefully we can help you learn how to find the best deal on either of these cars.
The first thing you need to do is NOT SIGN ANYTHING TOMORROW
Spend some time becoming as educated as absolutely possible on how a lease is structured and how to maximize your value. Then, work through the details of these cars to figure out a target price based on comparable deals and the current lease terms as they relate to your situation.
Once you know what they should lease for and have a target, then approach a dealer to find someone to do your deal.
Talking to the dealer about numbers is for finding someone that will do your deal, not for finding out what the car should lease for. If you don’t already know the answer to that question when you talk to them, you’re setting yourself up for failure. $1975 /mo on an M8C falls solidly in the category of failure.
You start by not looking for specific vehicles. You have a significant amount of learning ahead of you before you should be looking at specific vehicles.
Also, I’d recommend reading at least these 3 articles
(I would, however, ignore the sections discussing using the 1% rule and the LH score as metrics. In my opinion, these are very flawed methods for evaluating a lease as being a good deal. Sections 3 and 4 are spot on, however)
