Review Q&A bmw financing offers

What are the pros and cons of BMW Select Financing vs. traditional financing?

BMW select financing is different based on the market you are in. What is nice about BMW select financing is that they give you pre-negotiated packages. In other words, you know what you will be paying per month (weekly\bi-weekly) before you even engage with a salesperson. Traditionally, you would find a car you like and then negotiate with a Bank\Finance institution regarding the interest rate, deposit, term and residual values they will offer. With BMW select, all of that is done. You know what interest rate you will pay, you know what the term is, you know what the payment frequency is and where applicable, you know what the residual will be. A new concept being introduced now (well its been in place for a while now) is something called a GFV - Guaranteed Future Value. The GFV is a value that is given to the asset you purchase that guarantees its value at a certain point in time if you adhere to certain conditions e.g. if you buy this BMW, dont crash it, maintain it and do not exceed 10 000miles a year, the finance house (BMW Finance in this case) guarantees that they will buy back the vehicle from you at a certain amount. Why is this important to me? Good question, I am glad you asked :) The GFV allows the buyer to put a much larger residual value on the car. In other words, if you buy the car for $100 and BMW Finance gives a GFV of $50 in 3 years time, you will only need to repay the $50 that is outstanding leaving a $50 residual. This will ensure lower monthly premiums and at the end of the term you know you will be able to give the vehicle back in return for the outstanding $50. Traditionally, it was likely that after the finance period, the asset would only be worth $40, yet you bought it with a $50 residual. This means, if you were to sell the car, you would actually have a debt of $10 but no asset to show for it. So lets recap the benefits of BMW Select Offers: You get fixed parameters before signing the contracts so you know what you are letting yourself in for (except for prime interest rate movements) You are allowed higher than usual residual values Unlike traditional financing house you sometimes get GFV's to secure your debt Let me know if I can further elaborate on any of the above mentioned concepts!

How does a car manufacturer offer leasing to customers? For example, if a car manufacturer would like to lease its cars, how does the process looks like? Do they need to contact a leasing company? How much will it cost?

In the U.S., lease contracts are initiated at the dealership but are actually financed through the car manufacturer’s finance arm, e.g. Ford Motor Credit, GMAC, BMW Finance. Costs (the money factor) are generally within a range of market rates for secured capital, depending on creditworthiness. The manufacturers’ finance arms are also in the best position to estimate the residual values for their vehicles at lease ends.

Why are luxury cars so cheap when leased?

There are 3 other answers from people with a clue, and lots of answers from folks smoking something potent. A LEASE is just financing the DEPRECIATION on a car. Why do most young lawyers drive a BMW 3 series? (at least in Canada) Because every January BMW offers a 328iX (AWD) for CAD$398/month for 48 months, almost nothing down, and all maintenance is included. (you have to pay for tires and wipers … the only things that will wear out in 4 years) Go price a loaded up Camry which is not as nice a car: between $500 and $600 a month. Price out a $40k loaded Dodge mini-van. Probably close to $1000 a month to lease. (due to faster depreciation … the mechanic’s joke that Chrysler’s slogan is “we build em cheap and sell em cheap”) And finally a GM SUV. Cadillac Escalades can top $80k to buy, and drop to $29k in 3 years in the Vancouver BC market. So a 3-year lease is paying for $50k in value drop, plus interest. That’s the entire price of the BMW mentioned above. And if you use your car for work, you get to write off 100% of the lease payment. If you buy a vehicle, you can only claim depreciation as an expense, and that varies depending which country you are in (maybe 15% per year). So, the lawyer in the nice, shiny BMW paying $400/month is in a 45% tax bracket, so $180/month comes back as tax savings, and it costs her only $220/month (plus insurance and taxes and gas) to “own” that car for 4 years. Never paying for any repairs or tuneups. A bus pass in Vancouver is > $60.

What tricks do scam artists use when selling a car?

Rooftopping,. The salesbeing “borrows” the prospective buyer’s car keys so the “appraiser” can take the trade-in out for a spin. He hangs on to them until the customer relents and takes whatever deal they offer. De-Horsing ,The salesthing generously offers to let the customer take a new car overnight so their family can evaluate it. All he “needs” is the customer’s signature on a document he says is a receipt for the car loan and a promise to return it. It’s actually called a “one pay” that obligates the dealer to attempt to finance the deal, and if unsuccessful, obligates the customer to pay for the car up front in a single payment. When the customer leaves, the dealership hides the customer’s car. The next day, the customer is told that his trade-in had already been sold and he is obligated under the one-pay to pay for the new car OR accept the finance creature’s terms for a high interest loan. Mop‘N’Glo ,For around $200, the salesweasel packs the deal with a package that consists of a professionally applied diamond-hard exterior finish that will last for ten years without waxing AND an interior treatment that will resist dirt, grime, oil, food stains, UV radiation, and thermo-nuclear warfare forever. I used to pass these kits out to the lot boy from the parts department. They were costed out internally at $1.50. Choke‘N’Croak, Credit life insurance. If the buyer dies, the insurance company immediately pays off the balance of the note. The sales pitch always comes with the story of a woman who was driving her new [Cadillac/Lincoln/Mercedes/BMW/Lexus] home from the dealership when her husband suffered a fatal heart attack and FREE CAR for the lucky widow. These are offered at outrageous prices, full of exclusions, and seldom if ever paid out. Ask your life insurance agent about upping your policy benefits by the price of the car. It’s always far cheaper. Extended Warranties ,Purportedly provide engine and drivetrain coverage for three to five years after the manufacturer’s warranty expires, but they actually run concurrently with the factory warranty and often run out BEFORE the factory warranty does. Collecting on a claim is next to impossible. The warranty excludes failures of internally lubricated parts (nearly every part of the engine and transmission) and failures of any covered part because of the failure of any part not covered, such as radiators, belts, hoses, and engine mounts. These are nothing more than a license to sue. Repo Ralph ,Ralph offers EZ financing. “Your job is your credit” says Ralph. He sets the down payment on his used cars equal to auction cost, prep, and floorplan interest so that he breaks even before financing the purchase. He also carries your note himself, rather than selling the paper to a finance company. Ralph’s customers are usually barely scraping by month-to-month, so loan defaults are commonplace. One day late with the payment, and Ralph repo’s your car. But Ralph has another trick: he has never transferred title to the buyer with his lien recorded. The car remains in his name during the term of the note, so all Ralph has to do is tow it, put it back on his lot at the same or sometimes higher price, and sell it again. The next buyer defaults, and the cycle repeats. Ralph can make five figures from a $500 beater he bought at auction or took in trade.

How do young people in Malaysia afford expensive cars such as Porsche, GTR, and BMW?

I can speak from my personal experience. I’ve been living in Malaysia since 2010 as an expat but very much glued to the local culture. This question has a lot of assumptions and seems to be based more on personal judgement than any real merit. Malaysia’s per capita car ownership stands at 361 cars per 1000 people which puts it at number 48 in the world compared to San Marino with 1263 cars per 1000 people (#1 in the world). More data here: ,List of countries by vehicles per capita - Wikipedia Now back to the question there is no doubt cars are easily available in Malaysia as the loan interest rates are low and being a small market the car manufactures are happy to run financing offers that makes it even easier to own a car. To put it in a context the car loan interest rate in MY can be as low as 1.88% compared to 10.5% in India. That explains why there are a fair amount of cars in MY. Now lets dig deeper into the sports car market. There are four reasons why people are able to afford sports car in this market. Petrol is affordable. At under USD 0.5 per litre it doesn’t pinch to own a fuel guzzler. Bulk of the sports cars (almost 90% as per my friends in the automobile industry) are refurbished models imported from UK/Japan and other countries. These cars sell at a much lower price compared to buying a new sports car and that makes it affordable. Since these are second hand cars the bulk of depreciation is over and the car can still fetch good money after couple of years of use. There are a lot of workshops that are able to service these cars without going back to the Porsche/Audi /BMW/VW… certified service stations that reduces the cost of maintaining the car. The road infrastructure especially the highways are absolutely world class and can easily support extremely low cars running at high speeds. I’ve personally seen fleets of sports car driving at over 200km/hr on highways. In my opinion its unfair to single out youth trying to own sports car. As most of the people I know who own a sports car are in their later part of career and given the fact these are guys in the late 40s and early 50s their kids are young who get to drive these cars around. Stop looking at the fake ads running on Internet telling you how “young Malaysians are buying sports cars with this single trick” its a scam coz if they really new the trick they would have started selling these sports car to make money.

Is a loan required to buy a car with no money down?

I am not sure I have understood the question correctly. There are possible ambiguities in interpreting the words. ",Is it possible to buy a car with no money down?," -- Yes, most definitely, as for the UK very often you can easily get a cheaper car on a loan with 0% deposit (that's how we call the down payment here). More expensive cars usually require a significant deposit. E.g. Peugeot 108 you can get with 0% deposit or just one monthly payment of £100 something up front, but for a Mercedes E-Class PCP contract, usually they will ask for £5K-10K up front, and there's definitely a minimum value for deposit. ",Is a loan from the car dealer itself required to buy a car with no money down?," -- I think every dealer has their own rules. Some may restrict 0% deposit deals to their own financing -- as when you take their recommended finance, they often win money as finance provider either pays them a share, or is from different department of the same company (e.g. BMW Retail uses BMW Finance). But you are not obligated to take their loans, which often attract higher APR%. You can often get a cheaper loan from your bank, and bring the money to the dealer to pay everything up front (100% deposit or buy outright) and then deal with the bank loan instead of dealer loan -- paying less in interests usually. P.S. There are cases when this is not possible, e.g. UK banks usually limit personal loans at £25K and loans higher than £15K attract a higher interest. Also, PCP contracts allow you to have lower payments and security in that the dealer will take car back after PCP ends, also often dealer will contribute towards your car -- and with a bank loan you'll have to finance 100% car price and no discounts are offered usually for paying cash. Bank loans usually work excellently for cheaper, previously owned cars. New E-Class costing £43K is outside that area, sorry...

What is the DC Avanti car scam?

The Avanti is the first homegrown mid-engined sports car. Designed, built and sold by Dilip Chhabria Designs Pvt Ltd, the Avanti was launched in 2015. It is a two-door, two-seater model that was offered in a single trim with a host of optional extras. The bodywork was said to be made from carbon composite based on a composite high steel chassis. DC planned to sell the car here as well as in other countries. Mumbai’s Crime Branch got their attention onto Taj Mahal hotel were a DC Avanti was about to come. Immediately police officers asked the car owner for legit papers. The car owner claim that the documents are legal. But after some investigation it was came to know that that car was registered in Tamilnadu, and the car owner was also from Tamilnadu. The team was able to contact the owner who presented legitimate paperwork for the car, but found that the same engine and chassis number was registered for another car in Haryana. Later on monday he was arrested by Mumbai Crime Branch. Dilip Chhabria used to buy same car of his own company for 2–3 times. And he also used to take loans to buy the cars. After he made to sell that cars to any third person. Investigators further discovered that DC Design Pvt Ltd had taken multiple loans, averaging at Rs 42 lakh per unit, by posing as the customers for their own models. As many as 90 of the total 120 Avantis sold were said to have been financed in this fraudulent manner. He took loans from BMW finance(a NBFC-non bank financial institution). This all scam was done for escaping from excessive tax on high-end cars. (image: indiatoday)

When were you treated poorly by a car dealership until they found out you were rich?

In college, I used to drive a 8 year old Hyundai Sonata, bought for $4500 with around 100K miles on it. It was a nice car which served me well but it also clearly showed its age. Right after college, I went to a really good job that paid me a comfortable six-figure income. After making due financial calculations I decided that I could easily afford a new BMW 328i, Infiniti G37 or a Mercedes C250. I understood the depreciation of a new car, maintenance costs, insurance rates, etc., but as a 23-year -old, the thrill of being able to comfortably afford these cars along with the considerable discounts being offered on those cars in December 2011 helped me disregard the cons and start shopping for them. I assumed that my shopping experience would match the premium nature of these cars, but I could not have been further from the truth. This was me, around the time when I was shopping for the car and probably dressed similar to how I looked when I walked into the dealerships. This was my car back then. Blame it on the car I drove or the air of sophistication I did not exude, but when I first walked into an Infiniti showroom, I was made to wait for 20 minutes before anybody would even talk to me. During the time I was kept waiting, most other older people who walked in were immediately fawned over, offered refreshments and ushered in by a sales associate. I eventually forced my way over to the reception desk and complained about being kept waiting. I received a terribly insincere ‘sorry, but we are busy’ response. When a sales person finally came to us, he immediately took us to the used car section and started talking about how a 5-year-old car is affordable and not too bad to drive. When I insisted that I was there for a new G37, and that he need not worry about me being able to afford it, he begrudgingly showed me their stock of new G37’s. They did, however, refuse a test drive, citing some issue with their plates. I requested a call back when they received a specific car, with specific options I wanted, that was in transit to them. I really think they tossed my card away the moment I walked out. My experience at the BMW showroom was almost identical to the one I received at Infiniti. The only difference being they let me drive the car, but inside their parking lot and not on the road. The associate also handed me a card for a Toyota dealership owned by the same group!! I left both the showrooms with a starkly reduced interest in purchasing their cars, even though I started out actually liking them better than the Mercedes. I was frustrated, felt angry, insulted and had almost given up on these cars when I walked into the Mercedes showroom. I felt even less optimistic as the showroom had huge glass windows looking out to the parking lot, which meant everybody working there had a really good look at what I drove. I simply wasn't prepared for what happened next though. The moment I walked in, the Mercedes sales manager, a young guy named Jose, walked up to me and the first thing he said was, “Looking at your car now, I know exactly why you need a Mercedes. Let's get you into one”. He was responsive, polite, and even insisted that I take a test car out for a couple of hours to ensure that I liked everything about it. The experience remained impeccable all through the couple of weeks I spent being indecisive, comparing prices, financing etc. I eventually got the car from them in early 2012 and still own it. I cannot be happier with the purchase today. In hindsight, it's very interesting how a sales associate and a simple sales experience has a very profound impact on a purchase decision as considerable as getting a $40,000 car, even when the actual car and the manufacturer had little to do with the experience. I was later told by Jose that he identified with the situation I was in when I walked into the dealership because he had been in similar situations which were often made worse due to his ethnicity. He also simply said he did not know or care if I would be able to afford the car when he let me take it on a test drive and all he wanted to do was to ensure that I had a great experience at the dealership and left with a positive impression of him and the brand. He also mentioned, doing this usually meant his customers came back to him when they eventually decided to buy a car be it that day or a couple of years into the future. This was among the best practical lessons I had received in customer service and something that has paid rich dividends for my business over the years, significantly more than I paid for the car!!

What is Tesla's 'secret sauce' that even the biggest automakers can't replicate even though they've stripped down Teslas to study them?

I’ve only read about ten of the answers so far, but none of those get at the real “secret sauce.” Here’s my take: There is no single secret sauce. There are several pieces making up their sauce. One is: Tesla is a new automaker, offering a newish technology,. How does that translate into their success? Because Tesla is new,, it has no existing product line to protect., All the major automakers have invested billions in ICE engines. They know how to make them reliably, cheaply, and profitably. Even if they develop and sell electric cars, those cars will cut into their own sales of ICE cars. They don’t want to do that, understandably. So they are slow to move into electric. They introduce just one or two models, and they look conventional and corporate. An example is the Chevy Bolt. It is a small econo-car, and won’t take sales from Chevy’s Cruze, Impala, Malibu, or more importantly, its SUVs: Blazer, Equinox, Suburban, Tahoe, etc. It might take sales from its tiny Spark, but automakers typically lose money on tiny subcompacts anyway. So even if GM could make a Tesla Model S, it wouldn’t. That would hurt, most likely, its Cadillac sedan lineup. I would add that some of that is political; each division and each car has its own set of advocates, much like in the military. If whoever runs the CT line of Cadillac sedans has influence, then those cars stay in production. (This is the Chevy Bolt. Not exactly a ground-breaking car.) Because they are new, they understand ,their cars have to succeed at every level,. They can’t just be good enough, because they have no other models to offer. So: range? Check. Tech features? Check. Performance? Check, and double-check. Reliability? Check, so far. Safety? Check. Luxury? Check. Price? Not so check, but they had a plan for that: the Roadster would finance the S, which would finance the 3, which would be the Accord- and Camry-killer. So far, the plan has had mixed success. Their 3 turns out to be a BMW killer, at BMW prices for much greater-than-BMW performance. (If it were me, I would have gone for a crossover, like their Y, coming out next year, before the 3. But what do I know?) Because they are new, ,they are not tied to existing business models,. So they understood right away that they could not wait for a general market-based move to electric charging stations. So they built their own ,charging network,. Also, that network works better than the slow-moving public charging network (which is generally Level 2, which is slower than their Supercharger network.) 2. Their particular approach is ,favored by forward-looking financial analysts and smart guys ,in an unprecedented situation (global warming). That means that although their stock price is overvalued by traditional measures (P/E over 20), the current situation means ,that traditional measures may no longer apply,. ,There is no other stock that is a clear vote for the reality of global warming,. All the others are still making money off driving us toward the cliff, harder and faster. So Tesla's stock ,may actually be undervalued,. That bodes well for their mission. That factor will not change,, being based on exterior factors. As long as Tesla sticks to purely electric cars, people will still look to them for a solution. 3. ,Elon Musk ,seems to know what he is doing. Despite what a lot of commentators say, Musk understands that his job is to: Attract attention,. People call him loopy; he has tweeted disruptive comments, like the one saying the stock should go private again, etc. But as a result, the public knows his name, and they know the name of “Tesla.” That’s a win. Same with launching a Tesla Roadster into space with his Falcon Heavy. There is zero technical value to that. But for creating a sensation? Priceless. Sound like a smart guy,. Musk is famously “bad” at public speaking. Remarkably, that adds to his mystique, his aura as a visionary. 4. ,Tesla is committed to continuous, disruptive innovation,. For an established automaker, disruptive innovation would be, well, disruptive. It would be unpopular, and the organization would resist. For Tesla, that is the norm. So does an automaker also build a charger network? Sure. Does it also sell home batteries and solar roof tiles? Sure. Does it offer continuous software updates that create real performance enhancements, such as greater acceleration and braking? Of course. Does it create permanent, free Internet access to allow those updates? Of course. Tesla has decided that nothing is barred from them. Why? Because they have no choice. So that’s my initial take on what Tesla is doing well. Notice that none of that is about the car itself., You can take apart the car all you want, and you will not see these factors. Are there also ,problems ,with Tesla’s approach? Of course. One is that apparently Musk badly underestimated how difficult it is to build a car efficiently. That kind of knowledge is hard-won, and the traditional automakers have it, and they aren’t sharing it. It isn’t patentable. But Tesla seems to be learning. Among other things, they seem willing to do anything to create production volume, including ,building a third production line inside a giant tent,. I’m also worried about ,how they treat their employees,, which will be a problem in the long run. But in the long run, they might not need so many employees. Other answers point out their many innovations that will make robotic assembly easier, such as a simplified wiring harness, or a chassis cast as a single piece.
