North NJ Not very familiar with lease terminology so looking for some advice. Probably missing some info as I only have the paperwork they provided me. Was contacted about early lease turn-in and was offered the following: Turn in my 24 X3 with 18k miles (10k/yr). Lease ends in fall. $39,156 pa…

Discount is very weak. You should be shooting for 10% minimum off an X5 and 12-14% on the higher side for a dealer desperate to get rid of a particular car. Also shop your trade around to third party companies such as Carmax, Carvana, etc.

Off the bat it sounds like they’re overallowing on the X3 and taking it back on the front end discount. Find out what they would pay for the X3 without any other contingent purchase to get a clearer picture of what they’re robbing peter to pay paul. [image] carrot56: 12-14% on the higher side f…

[image] IAC: Rebates and rates were just enhanced on the X5, This is totally unnecessary pricing unless it’s a total trash configuration, in which case you don’t want it anyway.. Makes sense given the rebate enhancement. I know someone that got 14% off and base MF end of last month before pro…

Thanks for the replies. Could you provide me a monthly payment that would be a good deal based on the above specs? And/or tell me exactly what to plug into the calculator? Again, I’m a bit of a noob with leasing.

For example, This is something one could reasonably ask for that level of discount. And even then a dealer may just opt to throw this poverty spec car ($72K MSRP) into loaner. [image]

Find out what they’d pay for the X3 just to buy you out of the lease straight up with no contingent purchase.

This is the breakdown of options included in case it matters: [IMG_8710]

This is a further breakdown from my CA: At the $1235: $2500Dealer Discount $2000 Rebates $1000 Dealer Contribution 200 MF 52% Residual DAS: $1235 + $995 Doc + $925 Acquisition + remainder DMV (Estimated) I emailed and told him I wasn’t happy with that deal and he said: “Unfortunately there …

Terrible deal. On that note however… Have you found out yet what they would buy you out of the X3 for with no contingent purchase? This is a KEY piece of information thus far missing.

Learn how to use this! But most likely makes most sense to take current lease to term and use a broker for next lease if you don’t master the calculator.
