No Markup on MF in Chicago area?

omg516 · 06-05-2007, 03:24 PM

I have been trying to lease a 335 and have visited several dealerships. It seems that while I see members of this board purchasing their cars for the base MF of .00175, I was told by a salesman that in the Chicagoland area the normal markup is 40 basis points? I have been offered a deal of $1250 over invoice (sedan) which I wouldn't mind if I was able to lease at the base rate.

Anyone have any luck in the Chicagoland area finding a dealer that doesn't mark up the MF?

Thanks in advance.

Try Levin BMW in Indiana, its just across the border and it services the chicagoland area without the crazy prices. Talk to Berto in sales, we have purchased 3 BMWs from him and he was always honest and professional.

Nice! A fellow s2k owner. If only dealers in CA wouldn't mark up anything.

Actually guys, I found a dealer and CA that is willing to give me the deal that I was asking for, with no MF markup. PM me if anyone in Chicago would like to know more info.
