If you're convinced all anyone needs to know to negotiate a good lease deal is the Edmunds invoice so be it. I hope it wasn't all the info you had and that you didn't just take the dealer's word that .220 was the best MF availoable at the time  |
First of all, I did make an error. 230 was the base MF at the time which is the rate that I received. Here's the
rate sheet and it is clearly stated on my contract. I did ALL of my research prior to picking up the phone. I've purchased 10 cars in the last 10 years. This ain't my first rodeo.
Just because your dealer is a scheming sheister doesn't mean that mine is. My dealer is in a very upscale area where I am sure they get plenty of people who are willing to just walk in and blindly pay MSRP but I also bought in the midst of the financial crisis when BMW was eager to sell cars. Other people on this board were being quoted 270 MF at the time which I asked my CA about and she quite frankly said that they were trying to make their profit on the back end. My CA is smart enough to know that being honest will make her money with repeat business and referrals as opposed to making a sporadic one off deals that leave the client feeling ripped off.
