Unsurprisingly their is the same username on Flyertalk with the same MO…just going around in circles w/o ever taking the time to learn the in’s and out’s in the first place.

My rule of thumb is if a car costs more than 50% of its transaction price to lease for 36mo, just finance it.
Sounds like there’s far more issues here than just that. Doesn’t sound like even a broker can fix what’s broken here.

So just to be clear, you’re considering leasing a new 430i for $29,900 total lease cost or you could buy out and own your current car for 31k…

If you are serious about getting a 4 series coupe Or convertible before end of the year, I can get you a good deal.
I have listed a few of them and have few more which are not on the sheet.
I will however only ans any further questions after taking a $50 retainer to make sure you are absolutely serious about taking the car.
I will get 1% more discount than what is on sheet now if you take a convertible from my stock. This discount is only for in stock units and they have to be out of dealer lot by 12/31.
You can pay for your shipping, docs done over Docusign.

This feels like the Odyssey Sport scenario all again, except this time, they did come ask before signing, but are STILL intent on a mediocre decision. Plus wasting brokers’ time on top of that. Oof.

I’ll order bank this for OP @ 10% off front end with a point of rate (40bps) on the backend. Pickup is PCD or South Texas.
$698 fee.
50% retainer upfront, 50% when allocated.

Is this better than his dealers he’s asked tho? 
Any reason why broker’s are so specific on a number? Like instead of 500 they do 499, or instead of 700 they’ll do 699

@nyclife has already confirmed that his pricing was better than number OP tried getting himself. So the true intent is just to skirt the broker fee while beating broker pricing.
asking once for price is enough. Why ask multiple times for quotes and waste someone’s time
Exactly. The ending in “change” is a pricing trick which has been around forever.
Agree with the poster who laughed at $800 a month for a 4 series.
Anecdotally, I’ve been getting more concerned that the Federal Reserve is going to have cause a severe recession to get the economy back in balance. This is just 1 of 100s of these anecdotes.
I don’t even need to see the discounts, MF, etc… that deal is weak, even in a tough environment.

694.20 sound better?

What percent under invoice is that? 
I’d prefer the old “we’re losing money at $698” explanation.
