Lease Help on 2005 325ci

[alebrady]

I am totally new to the world of bmw (and in fact, leasing in general and this forum) but was hoping i get some help/insights.

I am looking at leasing a 2005 325ci. MSRP is about 39,xxx (sport, premium packages, manual, graphite metallic, leather).

I was trading in a $3000 accord and 'drive off' costs were $1000. 12k miles for 36 months.

Monthly payments were negotiated 'down' to 390/month.

How would you rate this deal?

thanks a lot - and if more info is needed let me know because i would like to get help in evaluating this deal.

Thanks!

PS what would be an average and excellent monthly payment (with the same options and downpayment, etc as above) on the 330ci?

I strongly suggest you look here: http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.ef0f830!make=BMW&model=3%20Series&ed_makeindex=.ef0f830

Look for postings by kyfdx. If you scan through, you will learn a tremendous amount about leasing. Read through until you understand capital cost, money factor, depreciation cost, residual value. Then you will be able to evaluate any lease.
