Maine BMW Car Dealers

I am debating whether to lease or buy. This is the offer I got Black/Black. BMWi - 3 series Premium Value Package $5461 down 2.9 % @ 72 months = $507/month. Pls reply. She gave me time till tomorrow. I asked her for x-Drive if any. But she said I might have to shell down lil more. Is this really a STEAL? PLEASE LET ME KNOW. Thanks -Ani

I'm looking to purchase a 2006 CPO 3 series in New Jersey. I would appreciate outlining the differences between riding characteristics of the 325 and 330, rear wheel and all wheel. Is there an appreciative power sag with the 325? Is the 'x" a bit flat off the line and around corners? Is the all wheel a MUST in snow or is the rear wheel fine with good tires? I've owned a 1994 325i and 1997 540i - loved them both but was a life time ago - in the past 11-14 years I've LEASED MB SL 500, CLK 320, porsche carrera, Jag VDP and most recently a Infiniti M35x - The Infiniti is an awesome car! However, I miss the driving fun only a BMW offers. Alas, I will have to get use to a lack of creature comforts that this 57 year old got very used to! Offered prices in several dealers: all are CPO with under 25 K mileage 2006 325i - 25K 325xi- 26K 330i - 28K 330xi- 29k hELP ME MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE TIA DOCGARY

THANKS. HERE ARE THE FIGURES THAT WERE GIVEN TO ME: $1500 TOTAL DOWN 24MOS X $567 W/TAX 10K MILES/YEAR + SIRIUS SAT RADIO - OPTION 65

HI I have been negotiating for a BMW328XI with the premium package, automatic, heated seats, and metallic paint. The MSRP is $40395 and the invoice is $37,260. The sales price is $38,440 ($37,260 + $480 dealer advertising and training + $700 dealer profit.)with no money down. Additionally there is a bank fee of $625, a doc fee of $45, an inspection sticker $10, and a tire tax of $10. ($1240 to be paid separate from the lease). For 36 months and 15K per year I got a lease payment of $545 per month which includes NY tax for Westchester (7.38%). My questions are: 1. Is the $480 advertising and training fee negotiable? Do I really have to pay it? 2. Is the $700 over invoice a fair price? 3. When I did the lease calculation I came up with $538.70 but the sales person said that I did not factor in that there is interest on the tax that I am paying over the lease period and that is why my calculation was not accurate(My calculation: RV $24,640.95 + Neg price minus RV over 36 months =$381.92 + Neg Price + RV taimes .00190 = $119.76 + NY tax $37.02 =$538.70). Is that a standard practice or B.S.? 4. I am returning a BMW 325XI and will have to pay a disposition fee of $350. If I lease another BMW can I have that fee waived? Does it make a difference if I get the new car from the original dealer I got it from or another dealer in terms of not paying the disposition fee? I APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME. THANKS

First, as someone who was burned on 2 previous BMW lease deals, please please get yourself the LEASE KIT as offered by www.leaseguide.com/leasekit It's well worth the $ spent.Never pay MSRP. Never put $$ down, it's like throwing money away, you never get it back. In MD, you will pay taxes on the full purchase price of the car. If you decide to buy the car at the end of the lease, you DO NOT have to pay taxes again. This is a recent change over the past 3 years. 10K miles are not alot of miles for a car. You really have to keep track of your driving habits. I don't know if you have any earlier posts, so I'm just going with my recent experience. Please know the MF and don't let the dealer tell you it's different. I currently lease a 2003 330XI, lease expires this month. I really educated myself with the help of everyone here at Edmonds.com :) In the long run, I've opted to keep my car, buy the extended warranty, save myself over $200.00 a month. At the end of my purchase: I'll still own a great car or I may decide to sell it myself. WIN WIN FOR ME. Good Luck!
