Was able to get this deal on an in-stock unit, but haven’t signed yet:
The discount is good, but it looks like the MF is marked up from .00267 to .00297. If I did the math correctly, I think it still comes out to around a 6.5% discount with the marked up MF, which seems decent. Only other thing is the high dealer fees at $995. Would definitely welcome opinions though.
Yeah, the marked up MF wasn’t sitting well with me, but I thought even at 6% it seemed okay, plus the fact of not paying a broker fee or having to ship it.
Forget about that, marked up money factor doesn’t matter if you’re getting a good enough deal.
If this is local to you, you’re likely not going to do better thru myself or any other broker once you factor shipping and broker fee.
I have a few I can do 6-6.5 off with buy-rate money factor, but I’d imagine you’ll net out similarly. If you want me to send you those options so you can see them, PM me.
Now prepare for the part of the thread where people who can’t afford it will crap on your decision to get this car because it’s not a “good lease”
lol. So true. In the past 2 years I’ve leased an M3, X3M and X5M. Didn’t get a “good lease” but got the car I want, fair market price, a happy wife and a whole lot of fun.
Like @GFit said, might be a bad lease, but you got it for the right discount, and it makes you happy, then so be it.
If the M4’s outperforms it’s residual, he can recoup some money, and if not, it’s not like much was lost leasing the car versus buying and owning for several years although I am not looking to get into the weeds on the math right now.
Now I will agree there are objectively cars that should never be leased, obviously something where you’re paying 50k to lease a 60k car makes no sense, but this isn’t quote that extreme.
What about financing it or the balloon ? The discount is fine but that doesn’t mean it’s the best way to structure the deal. Though m3s tend to hold value better than m4 imo but obviously no one is giving you 7-8% off on an m3 right now
The calc posted shows 52 lease cost for a car selling for 85. Have you seen many more worse value props than that? Like how much worse does it need to be to meet your threshold?
