Lease expires in September

[jubess]

Hello, the lease on my 535i expires in September. I'm interested in a certified 650i convertible. Looks like they are currently listing in the mid fifty thousand range. How much lower should I expect the listing prices to drop on a low mileage certfiied 650cic by August/September? I figure with the economic situation still lingering in 2009, prices should continue to come down. Thanks..

i don't know-but i'm looking for a 650 convertible-i guess if you don't mind a 2006-there are some sweet deals for that year in the mid 40's to high 30s. gl.

Yes. I noticed the sweet deals on the 2006 650I vert but I like the extra year of warranty/maintenance and I think they made a couple of changes in the 2007 model.

Well, you better settle on something no later than the end of first quarter '09. With obama's plan to incent companies and other stimuli, these low prices will not last for long.

An additional 2500 or so would probably be it.

the not much difference in the 06 and 07-lci model start with 08 model, but 07 bulid dates. There's not much difference between 04 models and 06, execpt engine 325hp v. 360hp-comfort access was added with nigth vision, and updated navigation system. The lci got external mod with new bumpers and new wheel package, adjustment to sport springs, new color for leather in addition to new headrest and some mods to trim level. IMO, not worth the extra $$$. Just find one about to come of lease from a private seller and get the extended warranty for an extra 2k thru the previous owner.
