Nov-Feb is loaner extravaganza time

Does anyone know of Honda lease deals?

Bruce_Smith · May 22, 2018, 1:19am

I’ve heard some big deals on '18 Accord Hybrids

Why would you ask about a Honda lease on a BMW dealer thread?

wheelz · May 22, 2018, 3:04am

Because Hondas lease worse than BMWs

I don’t think there are preferred dealership. I think there are those rare moments where a dealership just wants to get rid of a car and you happen on it at the same time. I got my 440GC for over 30% off MSRP (without credits or loyalty) at a dealership that many have told me is overpriced. In fact the dealer didn’t want to negotiate on my car a month beforehand. They probably thought they could move it. Then one day it dropped in price.

Know what you want. Watch multiple sites daily. Go make friends with dealers. Try to have fun with it. Subscribe to their email blasts (that’s how I found my car dropped in price). You’ll find the deal you want if you’re patient. Took me 2 months.

What incentives or rebates can you use on a 540 loaner/demo lease and which can you stack?

conanohasselhof · May 22, 2018, 5:37pm

Loyalty and college grad if you qualify, and whatever incentives bmw has.

SnorlaxAZ · May 22, 2018, 5:49pm

Has anyone seen any decent discounts for a new, ordered car? It’s really hard to find any with the options I want.

fzzqs · May 22, 2018, 5:55pm

I’m in the same boat. No decent deals for custom build 2018 X3 M40i. Best I got so far was about 6% off MSRP without incentives.

Thanks for the quick and comprehensive reply

I’ve actually never leased before, always purchased. I generally keep my cars for a while. My vehicles are 24, 13, 11, and 4 years old. But I’m looking to lease my next BMW. A question I have is this forum’s experience that the acquisition fee and/or disposition fee routinely negotiated down? They seem high to me.

Jon · May 23, 2018, 3:33am

Acquisition and disposition fees are not negotiable. You can waive the acq fee for a .0005 MF increase, but it’s only worth it for cheaper and shorter BMW leases.

mulbury · May 23, 2018, 3:36am

Thanks Jon. Whatever fee they want to call it I guess I will just consider them part of the cost of the vehicle.

kevinmr · May 23, 2018, 6:44am

Note that the disposition fee is waived if you follow up your BMW lease with another BMW.

max_g · May 23, 2018, 11:57am

Yup, and that’s how they get people to stay on the hamster wheel. Some people would waste thousands of dollars over monthly payments rather than spend $400 once. Keeping the hamster wheel going is literally the only reason the disposition fee exists.

wheelz · May 23, 2018, 2:55pm

Lease return fee, loyalty bonus, waived fees on my previous lease return, a good % off MSRP, being able to use MSDs again, they all add up in the end. As much as I wanted to switch it up a bit, I ended up with another BMW for the next 3 years. Yes, they are experts at playing the leasing game!

Bimmer2 · June 1, 2018, 5:12pm

@BMW_Dave Are the June rates out? Will email you for a new car quote next week. Thanks

GAngellBMW · June 1, 2018, 5:14pm

Everything is the same this month.

Bimmer2 · June 1, 2018, 5:17pm

Ah, surprising! If my memory serves me right I think they changed a few incentives last year between May and June.

Thanks for confirming, Greg.
