Hey Folks,

Just found a 2014 F80 335i that was left over at a dealership - brand new / 0 miles.

Seems like a nice car...and I'm curious if I can lease a model that old since I figured they'd be willing to budge on the sale price of the car.

If so...what type of residual will I get? Also - will any of the BMW cash be able to be applied?

I figured I'd ask before calling them.



All help is really appreciated!!!

I asked a dealership about this before and was told that you could lease it, but the lease payment would be so high because the residual will be low. Residual is based on car year so since it is almost a two year old car, the residual could be as low as 30-something percent. You won't get enough of a discount to make it worth it to lease.

I doubt a lease would be worthwhile (if even possible). Honestly, unless they were very eager to get rid of it (e.g. $15k off), I wouldn't bother. If you tried selling it tomorrow, even with a blank odometer it's still a two year-old car and the resale value would suffer.

Would it only have 2 years left of warranty left on it? Or does the 4yrs/50k start from when the papers are signed?

I spoke with them and they would be able to lease it but it would be a cost based lease as the car is too old to have the same residual applied to it from 2014. It'll be 4.5 years old at the turn in of the lease and the residual wouldn't be in line with true value.

So it's cheaper to lease a 2015/2016 model than the 2014. However; if you're looking to buy/finance - this would be the car to do so on...as they dropped the price like $10k vs MSRP.


Warranty is from when the car is sold...so 4 years would start once it's titled.
