The Wall: Irfan’s 2011 BMW 335i Xdrive

Name: Irfan
Location: Ohio
The RIDE: 2011 BMW 335i XDrive Coupe 6MT (Corporate Car w/ 10,400 miles)
The DEAL:

Original MSRP : 55,800
Sale Price : 47200

Total Selling price: 46200
Fees rolled in: $1000 ($acquisition/title/misc)
Residual: $32,623 (58.46%)
MF: .002
Tax 6.75%
Due at lease signing: First month payment ($600, tax included)

payment is a true $600/month for a “new” 335i Xdrive coupe fully loaded that will be under warranty the whole time, excellent condition, stickered at 55800

Has Premium/Sport/ColdWeather/HarmanKardon/SatRadio/Convenience… Sapphire Black Metallic on Oyster/Black.

Carmax saved the day for me.. I had an $45,600 2008 IS350 for $600/mo taxes included as well (also just first month upfront), with 6 months left. I was going to be over my miles, lost a key and had some body damage, i would have been paying about $3000 at the end of the lease. Carmax appraised my car for $550 more than the payoff was going to be, so I got a check for $550 and also got out of paying $3000 so really they saved me $3,550+.

My TAKE:

Congrats on the new ride Irfan! I like the ride a lot! Leasing slightly driven cars can be tricky because the residuals need to be adjusted due to the pre-existing miles, but if the numbers look good, you can actually drive away with a pretty good deal. 335i is awesome and for $600 bucks a month (on a $56k car) that’s a lot of car for not a lot of cash. Good job! Carmax has always been a great place to go to because the trade-in offers far exceed those from dealers. I’ve had dealers tell me Carmax is insane for cutting those deals. Good for US I say! Haahaa.

My TAKE:

Wow Mike, you are a tough act to follow. Not only are you getting a bunch of cash from your trade-ins, but your kids are getting some fancy rides. Love the deal you got at CarMax. They are a lessee’s best friend! Even if you didn’t go below invoice (plus your dealer fee was insane), I think everyone would agree that the lease was still darn good. Congrats. Wishing your daughter lots of luck with that wheat interior…it’s gonna be a tough one to keep clean. I would know. Haahaa.

On another note, your kids got the whole Spy vs Spy things going on. Hilarious! Haahaa.

My TAKE:

My dad gave me my first laptop back in 2003! I know it doesn’t compare, but I tried. Haahaa. The car looks so much better without that giant “beak”. Your daughters are very lucky girls to have a dad like you. If they disagree just show them the monthly bill. Haahaa. Overall, excellent deal. Trade-in equity covered the drive-off. $1500 dealer cash dropped the sell price below invoice. Pretty much what I highlighted on this August 2011’s Acura post. Can’t wait to see what your other daughter is getting as a replacement to the 2009 Lexus IS250.
