2010 BMW 5-Series Lease Rates – October 2009

logo_bmwMy Take: 5-series numbers unchanged since August. Pretty lease rates if you ask me. If these MFs would show up on the 1-series, I think you’d have a really awesome lease on those right now. In any case, not a horrible time to get into a 5 right now. Couple things I’d like to point out again in case you missed it last time I mentioned it. First off, BMWFS seems to have adjust their residual values since the 2009 models. Take the 2009 528i for example:

2009 BMW 528i Sedan
24 Month – Residual 65% of MSRP – .00200 Base Rate
36 Month – Residual 59% of MSRP – .00200 Base Rate
48 Month – Residual 39% of MSRP – .00285 Base Rate
60 Month – Residual 32% of MSRP – .00285 Base Rate

The 24-month terms took a 3% hit while the 36-month term took a 1% hit. The good thing is that BMWFS adjusted their MF to compensate for some of that loss in residual. The jump in price tag between 2009 and 2010 was only about $300, so payments should be around the same as last October on the 36-month terms.

2010 BMW 1-Series Lease Rates – October 2009

logo_bmwMy Take: I am probably wasting my time posting October numbers for BMWs since the September rates seem to run through the beginning of November. Anyway, nothing new here. Still too early to lease a 1-series if you ask me. I think the MF a tad too high for my taste, so I would recommend MSDs if you really want to lease one this month.

2010 BMW 3-Series Lease Rates – October 2009

logo_bmwMy Take: Came down with a cold this past week so I’m in recovery mode right now. I haven’t had a chance to respond to your questions, but I will get to them once I’m feeling better. In the meantime, here are the October numbers for the 2010 3-series. In case you were wondering, the numbers are identical to last month’s (September). Coupe numbers look most attractive to me. While 2009 models should still be available for the most part, getting exactly what you want may prove challenging.

What’s Going On – September 2009

Special Thanks to Jake & Family

I’d like to thank Jake and family for sending me a $50 gift card to Olive Garden last week. That was really nice treat for us, THANK YOU! I’ve very happy to have been able to help your family save money with this site! I hope to keep doing so everyone in the long run for sure.

P.S. We didn’t load up on bread sticks and soup/salad! LOL.

RIDE with G, iPhone Ready

I installed a plugin that allows the blog to load up faster on iPhones. It cuts out the ads and pictures and formats all the content into an elegant iPhone interface. This should make “on-the-go” lease rate research a bit easier and faster while you are at the dealership confronting your dealer about why his/her MF is inflated. Haahaa. Good stuff.

Dealerplace

Dealerplace is starting to feel like a failed experiment so I will be discontinuing it in the near future. This doesn’t have anything to do with the dealers themselves, I would personally buy or lease a car with any of them. It’s just that  I think  there  isn’t enough activity over at the Dealerplace to justify a separate site for it.

2009 MINI Cooper Lease Rates – September 2009

logo_miniUpdate: 2009 model lease rates updated. Really not a bad time to lease one. The MF is a bit high, but so is the residual, so its ok. My Take: I find it kind of weird that the 2010 rates are a bit lower than the 2009 rates on the Clubman. Is MINI trying to be more “realistic” with their residual values for the upcoming model year??? I could be wrong, but it is starting to look like it. You probably can’t order 2009 MINIs anymore, so I suggest looking at any remaing 2009 and snagging them as soon as you can. If BMWFS really decides to bring down the residuals, MINI for the 2010 model year will get that much pricier.

2010 Audi A3, A6, S6, A8 Lease Rates – September 2009

logo_audiMy Take: Not a lot of folks opt for the A3, A6 and A8, so they are being bundled together. The A3 Premium and Premium Plus are worth mentioning due to the fairly high residual and low money factor. The Quattro model gets a bump in the MF, but its not huge, so it’s still not a bad lease if you ask me. A6 and A8 are a “pass” this month. I’d like to see the MF drop more before recommending it.

2010 Audi A5, S5 Lease Rates – September 2009

logo_audiMy Take: The A5 looks much better in the 2.0 trim than in the 3.2. Things may be looking up for the A5, finally. The MF still needs a little work, but if you insist on getting into one, MSDs baby. That’s my recommendation. MSDs seem to be arbitrary, just because one dealer doesn’t want to offer it, does not mean all of them won’t. Check around.
