Lease Buy-Out
Hello I tried to search around for this but didn't find what I was looking for:
I currently own a 08 335i coupe and my lease is coming to an end sometime in November. I have been making payments of 780 a month with 0 down. 15k miles. (I know, not such a good deal). The Residual Value is at $28,xxx. I was wondering what would be a good price for me to offer to the dealership? With or With-out CPO. I was thinking I would offer $25k without CPO. What do you guys think? If I calculate it I already paid around $28k in lease payments. Your input will be much appreciated, have never dealt with a lease/buy-out so don't know where to start. Thank YOUU |

Hello. Welcome to Bimmerpost.
Your offer really does not play strongly in a lease buy out. BMWFS sets the terms and tells us (the dealer) what to buy your car for. In most cases, you are able to get you car certified etc and still pay under the residual value. Since it is an 08' you will be re-financing and have the ability to take advantage of BMWFS CPO rates (only if you CPO it).

When you finance. you don't own it either. The bank still has your title until your paid in full. The lease is prolonging the buying decision whereas the finance is paying for 5 years then you "OWN" the car.

Legally you own nothing under a lease although from a practical stand point it's not all that different from financing with the exception that you are not building any equity in the car with each payment. Both titles have the financial institution as the lien holder.
With regard to residual value, the time to negotiate that would have been when you leased the car - yes it's negotiable. BMWFS determines the residual value and they are the lien holder, so they are who you need to speak with initially. The dealer has no responsibility for your car other than taking it in at the end of your lease. The dealer may or may not buy the car depending on their inventory situation, otherwise it will end up at auction. With regard to the residual value on your car, how does that value compare with wholesale, trade-in or say retail? The answer to this question will be a barameter as to whether or not you will have any hope of renegotiating the buy-out. In other words, BMWFS is less likely going to sell you the car below wholesale or trade-in value. Hey, it never hurts to ask, the worst they could say is, no. |

The funniest thing is, when you lease you pay interest on the whole price of the car you buy (lease) PLUS depreciation of the car. Just look up the formula.
So if you lease a car that is $40,000 and lease buy out is $25,000 over the course of the lease you pay interest on $55,000! When you buy a car you pay interest on your loan which is the price of the car only (minus any money down of course in both cases) Lease is a robbing blind deal, plus you pay bank fee of $800 which equals about 1% of interest on top.
