      This doesn't work for every brand, but I was able to lease a $75,000 car at 15,000 miles per year with 0 down. My payment is less than 700. My advice is to 1) Spend time on leasehackr to learn how leasing works 2)lease at the end of the year 3) Be patient. It wasn't that hard, but you HAVE to have patience. I was shot down and laughed at by more dealers than I could count, but I stuck with it and was eventually successful. The whole process took me less than a month.

      I agree 100% I have been in the car/RV sales industry for 30 years now and I make so much more money when the people seem to love me. Also his complete lack of how we make are money was kinda laughable. Definitely not saying that he doesn't make somebody points but he thinks that it a little more black and white then it really is. The hidden money is even more prevalent in the RV side of the business. One last thing is yes them being super nice will hurt them. If you are being an ass we will still hurt you financially we may just have to work at it a little harder but the joy is much greater.

    Guy is straight to the point:
    1. find a car available at the dealer
    2. do your research to figure out what dealer paid for the car, msrp, money factor
    3. figure how much your willing to pay in financing and what's your cost (should aim at 1% of msrp)
    4. send emails to sales manager (cc other managers from same dealer) with your offer for specific car they have in stock with details of your financing proposal
    Favorable timing: end of quarter, end of year.

At the end of the term I returned it, got a $500 loyalty credit and the dealer gave me a $2500 rebate to lease a Q3 for my wife for $365, so I only payed about $13,000 to drive my dream car for 3 years and surprised my wife with a new SUV. Absolutely worth it.

    For many manufacturers, press cars qualify for new car leases. The dealers buy them way back of invoice in many cases. Once, we had a chance to buy an Aventador that was still in the current model year and it was less than the 24 month residual so the lease would have just been the monthly interest on price.

      Also convertibles in winter get incentives and putting down refundable MSD's (multiple security deposits) lets you buy down the rate even further. Been doing this with BMW's for years and it's great. Also take advantage of option for European delivery and get basically a free vacation out of it too. So many options if you research.

    Leasing depending on the situation can save or cost you a lot of money. A lot of dealerships have started doing one time lease payments, meaning you don't have to pay monthly, you can pay all the money for the entire lease upfront and call it a done deal, they often times will lower the price if you go for a one time payment so play around with that as well!!!

    As someone who sells cars, pretty much everything he said is spot on. I appreciate when an informed buyer comes in because when I say yes I’ll give you that deal they take the car and everyone comes away happy.
    Worst ones to deal with are people wanting a better deal just because they “feel” their payment should be X dollars per month and then get mad when you show them all the reasons that’s just not possible

    I've been selling BMW for a year now and this is all dead on also I remember that 4 series program lol. I'm all for people getting a great deal but what I've come to learn in 7 years in the business it's all about the customer getting an honest deal that works for them, sometimes the dealer making more or less. I've given the most disgusting low deal to ungrateful pricks that turn them down and made some money on people thrilled with everything top to bottom. However theres a difference between making money and whaling someone over the head which I'm not a fan of unless a particular car and market calls for it in which the customer will be aware of. I'm okay with doing those low deals too aslong as people understand them. Every business should be entitled to make money and ever customer should get a great deal and experience.

That means never driving an old car. As such, they are all basically built to last through 1-2 lease cycles before they start leaving $4000 parts all over the road constantly, at which point they get flipped to shady used lots in the inner cities, and get purchased/repo'd by a revolving door of wannabe ballers who don't know any better.

    Great info! I spent about 2 months finding all of this info out prior to leasing my first car 5 years ago. Managed to negotiate my 2015 M235i xdrive from MSRP $50,500 down to $46,500 and then throw multiple security deposits in (not sure if BMW still offers this) to lower my money factor rate below the BMW standard. Monthly payments came out to $460/month with technically no money down since I get the MSDs back at the end of the deal. The residual I negotiated was good enough that my sale price at the end of the lease was less than the cars worth at that point in time. Ended up buying my m235i, and putting my MSDs originally put in against the sale price. Was a great experience to go through and learn from for the future.

    I've been doing this on BMW's for years. I can add that you should also look for cars going out of season. I leased an M3 convertible in the winter for under $700/mo with zero down due to this. Never put money down on a lease but DO give them Multiple Security Deposits (MSD's). This lets you "buy down" the money factor as they have less risk. Also, with BMW at least, choose the European delivery option and have it come back into Spartanburg for some track time. For the dealer it's just paperwork, they never see the car, and you'll get a free trip if you can use airlines points to fly over. You won't get the car back in the states for a few weeks but the whole experience is amazing.

Dividing 2700 by the 39 months and adding to monthly, it is exactly 1% of msrp monthly with tax rolled in. Thanks for reassurance!

    Sometimes, all it takes is being picky and being willing to wait. I was looking for a manual transmission, turbo car for roughly $20k after I sold my daily 07 Ford Focus. I found a 2017 Fiesta ST that fit all the criteria I wanted AND had the desirable Recaro seats. This was in February 2018. Well, I looked at it, test drove it, and decided to wait... and wait... and wait. Finally, May 2019 rolls around. This little thing sat on their lot the whole time being moved spot to spot. From what I heard, only 1 other guy test drove it in the span, because a subcompact FWD hatchback in Montana isn't exactly what everyone wants (to put it in perspective, over 3/4 of this dealership is F-150's and F-350's). The MSRP on this little thing was almost $26k and when I first test drove it, it was marked to $24.5k. Then in May, it was $21k. By the time we had finished negotiating, and a few persuasive points later, I got the keys to a brand new Magnetic Metallic Fiesta ST w/ only 41 miles on it for... $17,750. Ford's little Oasis system that shows dealer profit/loss for a particular vehicle showed my price as -1,984. A lot of patience, persuasion, and actually leaving the dealership as if I was declining their offer, got me one of the most fun cars I've ever driven in my life. My story probably isn't typical, but beating the system is always sweet.

    The key to all of this is that you can NOT do this with the sales reps. They usually don't have the information to be able to know what's possible. They don't know MF, invoice, or what the dealer is willing to discount the car for. You have to go directly to the sales manager, general manager, or finance manager for this.

    That Long Island, North Jersey, Fairfield County CT region is a place where you have to keep up with the Jones’s, so leasing for makes sense for those types. I never saw such a high concentration of luxury vehicles as was in that area. Buying a used car with 50,000 miles or so is actually a lot of wear and tear because of all the stop and go driving, so never buy a used car from that area.
    But the fallacy of his argument in the beginning is that he was faced with a $3500 in repairs on a car valued at $7000. Probably brakes and rotors, tires, filters, and some other stuff. I always look at replacement cost, as in what would it cost to acquire a similar car in newer condition. I have already put $1500 in repairs in an a 12 year old Volvo that was maybe worth $2k. But I ended up driving the car for 100,000 miles.
    I enjoyed this video a lot, it was very thorough. This guy has the process down to a science, he gets a hot lease deal and turns his car into a re-leasing website within a year or two and has little problem turning it over to a new lessor. He can drive a new car every 18 months and have zero maintenance except for oil changes.
    But for me, I would rather drive a good used car with low mileage and a warranty and pay cash. And never buy a used Mercedes, BMW, or Audi without a warranty, those cars are complex and the engine bay is full of plastic parts and can cost a fortune to repair. Get a used Genesis.

    @kylewhelan822 5 лет назад +1

    I’m the General Sales Manager at a BMW dealership. The guy who gives you all the numbers. Some of the stuff in the video was decent advice. Some of it was bull. Here’s some tips from my side.
    1. The best way to negotiate is in the dealership. If you are in the showroom, have decided on a model, have test driven that specific vehicle, and are sitting with my client advisor with a clear intent to purchase, you are in control. My best deals (“stupid” deals for me) have been given to people in the showroom. You are my top priority. I’m judged by my superiors on my ability to “close” people that have come in the showroom. Why would you not capitalize on that element of desperation?
    2. It’s all about the monthly payment. Everything. Money factor, residual, rebates, capitalized cost reduction, acquisition fees, blah blah blah. Who cares? The only thing a dealer has control over is their discount and a small money factor markup. All the other components are set by the manufacturer. Why try to figure out something you’ll never have access to? Instead, focus all your attention on the monthly payment. The payment is 600 a month? Tell the salesperson you’ll buy the car at 450 a month. He’ll come to the office, tell me, and I’ll proceed to throw things and say something like “where does this guy get off.” Then? I’ll try everything I can to get to 450 knowing full well I’ll never get there. If you’ve expressed a clear intent to purchase a vehicle THAT DAY and I’m ready to let you walk after reducing the payment once or twice, you know you’re getting a great deal. A new car just needs to be sold. I would rather not lose money, but will if it means moving a unit. Basically, show intent to buy and then reasonably lowball the payment. In almost every case, people that have negotiated a lease in this way have received the best deal from me and they are the deals that I review and go “why did I even do that?”
    3. Depends on the model. Surprise, a 2020 M2 Competition leases like shit. They have no rebates and the residual is low af. The “best” leases are on volume cars. 3 series, X3, etc.
    4. Weird colors. Loaded out cars. Cars that are a liability for the dealer. Regional factors. I’m in the snow belt and I have a leftover 2018 4 series with a $5000 tire and wheel package. If you walked into the dealership and said you wanted to buy that car I might give you 200 a month out of my own pocket just to buy it. Also, I am in a very heavy SUV market. The whole country is right now, but my region is the heaviest. You can get a great deal on a 540 sedan right now BECAUSE I DON’T WANT THEM AT ALL IN ANY CAPACITY. This is the biggest variable. The slight differences in how dealerships do business and what is important to them. But it’s very hard to determine.
    Main point: The one thing that is consistent from California to New York is dealers want to move cars. Be in the showroom, show a clear intent to buy that day (having already done most of the research), and negotiate simply on the monthly payment by reasonably lowballing. If a dealer is really willing to let you leave after reducing the payment you can be sure you got the best deal.
    Any questions let me know
    **Just reading the comments in the buy vs lease debate. If you want a luxury car, lease it. For gods sake, never pay cash or finance a new BMW or luxury car. If you think leasing is dumb and expensive and you never own the vehicle, that’s valid. I leased a BMW when I got in the business. Now the car in my drive way is a Pre-Owned Honda Civic. What does that tell you?

      Kyle, this is great advice, and I appreciate you being upfront. While I love BMW, I wanted to try to tailor this video to more than just BMW leasing, which is why some topics went broader. At the end of the day, moving a unit is a business decision for the dealer as you said, and if you want to, you will, and if not, that's okay too. I'm all too aware of the unfortunate residual on the M2 Comp, I would have loved one, but at prices at or greater than the M3, it made no sense on a lease.

      Thanks Scott. I usually don’t comment on videos, but this was the first advice I’d seen that was pretty informative. The biggest thing was not negotiating in the showroom and ignoring the monthly payment. It’s counterintuitive, but it really is the best way to get a great deal. Like you said, we deal with a lot of BS and we’ll usually give a great deal if you cut through it. Thanks for the video

      @scottsmith7749 5 лет назад

      ​@@kylewhelan822 I'm glad to hear a someone whose in a dealer position, especially BMW, understands where I'm coming from. This isn't an attack on dealers. It's simple, in some cases, it makes sense for a dealer to move a unit and not make much money, or in some cases do a net zero deal. At the end of the day, it's a business decision. Truthfully, I give that advice because I've always had bad luck walking in to negotiate, and I know they'll be going back to the manager anyway. I think that bypassing that process respects your time, instead of me coming and trying to negotiate, I just send you a straight up offer that I will go ahead, come in, and just sign on without hassle.

      The nice thing about BMW's is that problems are consistent and predictable to the point that you can treat it as "preventative maintenance". They've always been like this though. I've been buying them used at 5-6 years old and getting rid of them around the time they turn 10, and it hasn't been too terrible. If you DIY and have the tools, they're not terrible to own. For how comfortable they are and how nicely they drive, it's worth the sweat equity.

    We have some people who have E plated vehicles at our company - you wanna know what those fuel efficient vehicles are?

      Not bad, in the US we were getting really good government incentives on EV's but the amount they're giving now has since lowered. You used to be able to get around $3000-$5000 off an ev with state and federal incentives and also tax credit but with the amount of Teslas on the road now that has gone to shit. You can still get great incentives in places like Colorado and get $5000+$1800+30% tax credit+Incentives for solar panels, essentially nearly allowing for you to make your car run free, just gotta cover cost of installation(-$1000-$2000 or credit per Kw) and the car itself at a discounted price.

    Scott’s speaking from experience, he openly admits he’s been a victim of the sly dealership finance department. I’m an automotive finance director myself; I’ve been a finance manager and a salesmen before and even I couldn’t have made a better video telling you how to get the best deal on a lease for one of the more desirable vehicles! Still with that being said, in the domestic market with all the rebates and variables, an individual lease is nearly impossible to calculate before coming into a dealership. None the less, great info and advice... still taking money out of my pocket...

      Thanks, I appreciate it. Everyone in the car business deserves to make good money too, I think for everyone one person who comes in looking for a bottom-basement deal, theres 10 more that the dealer is making a healthy sum on. Notice I also say that sometimes there isn't any reason for dealers to do this, especially on popular cars. I don't think people should just expect this can apply to any vehicle, but it is, in some cases, a right place right time matter.

      @@MichaelJames-lz7ni the goal is to minimize the actual cost of ownership. For newer cars (especially BMW's) if you buy it, even if you keep it for 10-12 years, by the time you factor in taxes, tires, maintenance, and the killer.... depreciation, you could have leased a brand new BMW 3-4 times over if you did a proper leasehack.
      More often than not, the majority of buyers don't even own their cars anyways, the bank does through financing. And if you are paying cash on a brand new BMW or luxury car, then you truly are an idiot with money. :)

The other cars, corvette, camaro, bmw etc has been bought but living up north if I drive throughout the winters over time 6-8 years the truck will rust. Which is why i opted to leasing new because the deal couldn't be beaten. And no maintenance issues I have to worry about or rust damage that will ruin the value of the car upon selling it. the MSRP of the tundra is 50K crew cab etc, 10/24.

    Residuals tend to drop during the model year as new models get closer...generally speaking you are better of leasing at the beginning of the MY, and get the new features, although discounts may be harder to get. If you can afford the monthly lease payment w/o cap cost reduction payment, don't put money down because the reduction in monthly payment over the term of the lease is always less than the cap cost reduction.

Year later I sold it at 60,000km for $54,000 to another dealer. No maintenance as it was still in warranty, but people follow the m3 like a cult, therefore huge residual

    I worked at a dealership for nearly five years and handled all different manufacturers as well as leasing programs as part of a fleet Department. Most manufacturers have leases that are set in stone, in other words, money factor and residual are set by the manufacturer. The only thing that can affect the money factor is the credit rating or credit score. Some manufacturers look more at your credit history but to make it simpler, your credit score has a lot to do with the money factor. And the only thing that affects the residual is the amount of miles per year your request on the lease example 12000, 15000 Etc. Leases also have different money factor and residual depending on the term. Term is usually how many months the lease is for. In all my years at working at a dealership I would actually get print out every month telling me the lease program for that month.

      Robert Sosa true enough with manufacturers lease programs but some banks also offer lease programs through the dealer. Back when I was in the biz most of our leases were through local banks, not the manufacturer. We had lots of wiggle room in those leases, we could adjust the residual, the MF, the price, etc.

    "Leasing does make a lot of sense"... says everyone who wants to convince themselves that's true because they just rented a car for years, then at the end of that, have to get into another commitment with no recoup on cost from the last one.
    I have the advantage that I work on cars myself, but I've literally never lost money on a car, and you don't even have to if you pay attention to the market. I usually have a different daily driver every couple of years and have never sold one for less than I bought it for. Cars that are ten years old have already reached a level of depreciation that's fairly stagnant.

    At video 1:51 "look for a car that's aged" - I worked as a salesmen at a Jaguar-Land Rover dealership. What he's not considering is that the Leasing company/Bank offers the BEST residual/deals on the newest model year. You want to avoid starting a lease on the vehicle that is now considered the 'older' model year (if the new model year has already been introduced). Plus avoid those wacky 27 or 39 month leases; they're making you pay for months of State license/registration fees even though you already turned the keys over back to the 'Bank'. - Finally (leases negotiated properly), because you're basically paying for 'What YOU USED UP' in the vehicle, are most economical with Strong Value (high resale value) vehicles. - i.e. Lexus, Toyota, Honda etc...

BUYING has the advantage of a large 'Year-End' MSRP discount; but LEASING is all about the Residual, Money factor & factory Subsidizing.

      Holdback isn't something you have any negotiating power with. You'll never know exactly how much it is, or how it's even paid (as it depends from brand to brand). And it doesn't go towards the car deals bottom line, just the dealership overall. Because holdback's main purpose is to help offset floorplan interest paid on the car.
      So if you REALLY want to try using holdback in negotiations, ask them how much they've paid in floor plan interest on the car, and add that in there.
