Guess what happens if you total the car in month 1 and you put $7000 down?

The same thing that happens when you own a car. I don't see what you're getting at.

What kind of classes did you take? Nothing good, I hope. Or I hoped you skipped all your classes. Either way, doesn't reflect well on your "school".

I don't get your cash flow issue - a lease on that car should be about $1500 at signing and about $600 per month for the lease payments. Are you trying to pay for the entire lease up front?

This thread is littered with a ton of bad advice.

OP, I think you are about to get screwed.

Leasing a car is typically the most expensive way to operate it over the life. (Well, aside from 260 one-week rentals from Hertz or something).

OP,

F the jealous haters posting in this thread. They probably all drive Hondas.

Just go to the dealership and ask the salesguy for help. You'll be driving your sweet new Beemer off the lot in no time.

If you really decided to lease the car, then the first thing you should do is negotiate the price.

You can do it with leases. If you don't, they will lease you the car for MSRP. Everybody know that you should never pay MSRP. Even if you get 1,000 bucks knocked off, still real baller.

When I am going to get a car, I acutally do most of the work online. Believe it or not, if you go through a site like edmunds.com and request a 'free dealer quote' at the end, when the dealership contacts you (phone/email) they will give you a price.

Most of the time, you can get the car at invoice, or invoice + 100 bucks.

I was dealing with a Nissan dealership trying to get a lease. Their 'deal' was like 22,900 leased. Went home and did the online quote. The e-sales guy contacted me and was like "the price you pay is invoice + 100" which was 20,193.

So yeah...online quotes are the way to go.

Heh. And while you're at, see if the local street bum would be willing to hang on to your cash for awhile.

Yeah but why go with a BMW? Porsche's are way sweeter, and not THAT much more per month.
