if you know dealer who like to work with me or anyone who want to transfer lease. let me know. text me 541-729-1279

I believe 15s can't be leased anymore.

[phoenixbmwlife]

Yeah you can't lease 15s anymore June was the last month you could get into a 15.

[jhbi8]

If you want to you can buy my '15 and I'll go lease a '17.

I just left the dealer, took a test drive and offered me the following lease on a 2016 with the laser light option

12k miles
8000 down
$1499/mo


Thoughts?

I hate leasing and think I can do better...

Terrible deal.

Wait a few months if you're not up for shopping around. You shouldn't put ANY money down on a lease

[rocke29]

Mr. Sugar Skulls, I agree. I leased a 3 series years ago when I had to get rid of my 2 seater because of a pending daughter and didn't put anything down.

Exactly. While maybe not quite the deals people were getting in the sub 1K with no money down- since it's not as saturated with i8s (2016 models) now, fall/winter time I'm positive you can find anywhere from 1k-1200 with no drive off then.

Check out autotrader, and if you really want to pick one up right now- I'd call the dealers who are offering their sales price in the mid 120 range to get a decent deal for the summer

[atlanta2003]

If anyone knows of any good lease deals on the 2016 models, please share

[Almaretto]

I am kind of happy with my F10 right now and its lease payments. However, I never thought you could pick up an i8 for 1K/ month; that is pretty nice for that MSRP.

[mikenyc]

I'm not sure if bmwfs lease rates/ incentives are the same now as for July - if this is the case I can point you to the dealer in Mass that can get you Blue 2016 for around 1250+ - PM me

[andrewk2552]

I got few offers for 2015 I8 lease but for no down 24month 10k is usually around 1600-1800.

Now I just got offer for 2015 i8 $126050, 36month 10k $1369 with 5k down.

is that okay deal ?~ or should i wait for winter ?

Does that apply to lease takeovers? or just straight from dealership?

Lease take overs are perfectly fine to take over the lease as long as it's in its original contract term (but must be more than 6 months or more left).

But it's often times harder to get approved for it since you must be equal to or a greater candidate than its previous leasee.

People often get denied to take over a lease because of this reason, but qualify for a new lease.

SUPPOSEDLY there aren't anymore residual programs for the 15s. Only 2016/17 models have residuals programs. (They always say that though)

You can still technically "lease" a 2015 but on a dollar based program- which is pretty much a finance- so the deals are terrible.

Interesting. I did not know this.

Yup.

Went through it first hand.

I had already leased 2 M6s, got bit by the i8 bug- tried to take over one- denied- went to my dealer to do the trade out of my m6- approved.

So essentially your credit score has to be equal or higher than the current owner of the lease like you said - any other factors?

It's the "risk factor"

So they look that your credit score/credit line history/debt to income ratio be as strong if not stronger than previous individual.

High credit scores obviously don't mean much if your credit lines are small.

Standard score to qualify at the top rate for a new lease is 675. (As in you won't get any better rates if you have an 800 or 680) that's why it's easier to qualify for a new lease than take over

It is however up to you to make sure you know how to work out a good deal and not just jump on the first thing they offer you. I get off negotiating which is how I was able to get quoted some really good numbers on my deal.

[nicedream]

They're still leasing 15s. I just leased one, and had a quote from another dealer. 1400ish with nothing down for 150,095 Pure Impulse 10k miles 36 mos.
