Lease acquisition fee?

shellbmb · 10-26-2018, 05:24 PM

I have two offers from different dealers. One has a line item of a $925 acquisition fee and one does not. Is that something the dealer has the discretion of charging?

And I love how one dealer's "doc fee" is $149 vs. $689.

it is 925 standard
probably they forgot to add which is very unlikely or they included that as a discount
document fees can vary by state , these are not standard and dealers can wave them off. dealers are limited by how much they can charge as far as maximum amount

The $925 acquisition fee is charged by BMWFS and cannot be marked up or down. Flat fee for everyone leasing.

925 seems right.
