2010 Mercedes Benz C-Class Lease Rates – February 2010

Published by G

logo_benzMy Take: No rebates, disappointing lease rates = forgettaboutit! More than likely, you will be able to get invoice. Additionally, you should also be able to tap into holdback. VJ mentioned that “Ambassador Numbers” are available this month. Meaning “employee discounts”. This is a good thing, if you can match it with a killer money factor and residual value. I’m not really seeing it here on the C. If they were to drop the money factor by 0.001, then you’re talking a “can’t miss” lease.

Published by G

logo_bmwMy Take: Nothing to get excited about on this list since you’ll either see poor residuals or poor money factors.  There are is about $10k cash to dealer on the 6s. Unfortunately, it only applies to those who pay cash so no point getting into that.

2010 BMW 5-Series Lease Rates – February 2010

Published by G

logo_bmwMy Take: I’m not feeling the 5-series this month. The residuals are not bad compared to other brands, but by BMW standards, they aren’t very high. Typically, you would expect BMWFS to drop the money factors to compensate for a lower residual, but not in this case. With no rebates in sight, I would suggest taking a pass on the 5-series, for now. But if you must have one, please be advised that a newly-redesigned model is in the horizon, which means that there should be a “fire sale” at some point before 2011 model arrives.

2010 BMW X3, X5, X6 Lease Rates – February 2010

Published by G

logo_bmwMy Take: Sorry Danny, I said a few minutes, but it turned into a few hours. Internet has been pretty slow today, so I had to resort to mooching off 3G wireless off my phone (yes, my home network is THAT bad right now). Anyway, the only lease I would consider off this list is the BMW X5 xDrive 48i and the 2010 BMW X6 xDrive50i. The residuals are high and the money factor is low (relative to their model). I would still recommend some MSDs on these rides since the price tag on these puppies are pretty steep.

2010 BMW 1-Series Lease Rates – February 2010

Published by G

logo_bmwMy Take: Moving on to the 1-series. I feel these past couple months have been very solid months for the 1-series. Remember last year, around this time the MF was a whopping 0.00265! And the residual was 1% less than it is now! So for those who leased last year around this time, I’m sorry for say this, but you overpaid. Personally, I wouldn’t mind going for the 1-series if they had the 5-door hatch I saw on my trip to Uruguay, but they don’t, so these rides aren’t on my shopping list this year.

2010 BMW 3-Series Lease Rates – February 2010

Published by G

logo_bmwMy Take: I just got the new lease rates for BMWs, so I am going to kick things off this year with the 3-series. Keep a few things in mind, I got these numbers from LeaseCompare, therefore, you will be seeing a lot of reference links to that site as part of the deal in order to redistribute the numbers. Hopefully everyone can live with them from now on.

Anyway, this month’s take of the 3-series is simple, the coupes look pretty good. There may be a higher price tag now, but the residual values are strong and the money factors are fairly low. The sedans need a little love from BMWFS thought. Final verdict? The numbers have improved since December so if you plan to lease one of these, it might not be a bad idea.
