Visited dealer today and they seemed pretty eager to make a deal. Was wondering what the forum thought of this deal on a 2025 i4 xDrive40. I’m new here btw!
Location: Nebraska
2025 BMW i4 xDrive40
Color: Cape York Green Metallic
MSRP: $66,575
Doc fees: $800
Total due at signing: $561.75
Residual Value: (54%) $35,950.50
Price: $51, 418
Out of pocket cash: $561.75 Total discount: $15,157
This is really solid from a local dealer. Looks like they’re doing a 10% discount and base money factor (.0005). Doubt a broker would get you a better deal inclusive of their fee. If you can, put down max MSDs to make it an even better deal
Because dealerships play games and make you think you’re getting a huge discount when all they’ve done is bury the rebate and there’s very little discount.
The extra $1,000 over the $7,500 lease cash is either conquest or loyalty, I’m guessing.
Why? It’s critical to understand how much you’re getting on the negotiable aspects of a lease.
Lease cash is what it is. Everyone can get it.
Conquest or loyalty: anyone who qualifies can get it.
If the person immediately after you didn’t qualify for either conquest or loyalty and got the same “total savings” as you, would you say they got the same deal? Or did they negotiate a greater $1,000 discount than you did?
No one’s getting 13.5% anymore. Maybe 12% max right now. Add $700-1000 shipping plus their broker fee of $600-1000 and that extra 1-2% is gone. This guys in Omaha, Nebraska.. don’t you think if a broker was able to get him a better deal they would’ve responded to his post by now?
Less $800 broker fee, less $800 for shipping. I also value my time at $250/hr. If you don’t, you should start.
$730 savings. Now, I take $730, plus never having to step foot in a dealership and the value of my time, I’m well over $1000 again in savings, and I never had to sit down in an F&I office.
So put simply, you’re wrong, and I wasted 3 minutes of my Sunday.
Please enlighten me and show me a broker that is getting 13.5% off in the Midwest. You’re really reaching bud.. find a broker that will get him a better deal than this inclusive of shipping costs and their fee. You won’t. And if a broker replies and proves me wrong, I’ll own up and say I was wrong (but it won’t happen)
Shipping from NY to Omaha is a lot more than $800 my guy. Also his broker fee is $900, not $800. Seems like the OP is much better off going to his local dealer and signing than going through all this
You’re right, that extra $100 in broker fee makes everything else I said a moot point. That car would be coming from a location closer than NY, and it’s about 80 cents a mile if you actually take the time to shop open car carriers.
As my wife tells me from time to time, know when to take an L. It’s nothing personal, I’m just messing with you as I Sunday day drink and hopefully watch Bryson win the Masters.
