WTB: 2015 BMW i8 (Preferably Lease Buy Out)

Amani8 · 07-22-2019, 11:33 AM

Hi all,

I currently have an approval through BMW Financial under my business.
I've been looking for the past week and have found some that peak my interest but dealing with the sales manager has been a task proven to be migraine giving... Now I'm here asking for your help if you have an i8 or know of one.

Thanks,

What was your lease buyout amount?
I spoke with the dealership and they mentioned they're all in on this i8(like every dealer I've ever spoke to).

Your i8 is showing on average $4k higher than similar year Protonic Blue i8's.

That's seems like the market rate for a Protonic Blue 2015 with those miles. You will not find a lease buyout rate that is anywhere near market value so all these ex lease cars go back to the dealers. You can usually find these for $3-4K less than that but they will not be CPO. My CPO '15 with 21k mikes was a steal at $64k and they went all out to remove every scratch on the paint and wheels so it's indistinguishable from a new car. I looked at a lot before buying so I knew a good deal when one came up.

I have a very good relations with the Sales Manager and My 2016 i8 is due back in a couple of months. If interested let me know. The car has less than 10k miles, Sophisto Grey with White Interior.

I, too, am interested in picking up a ~2015 BMW i8. Anyone with any tips, I would appreciate it.

I just turned in my 2015 Protonic Blue a month ago. I really enjoyed that car.!! I tried several times with several dealers to get them to come down from the ridiculous 93k Lease end buy out. They wouldn't budge. I've been watching to see if/when it comes up for sale and what they are asking.

They will probably start asking $69k and then go down from there (this is what happened with mine)
