presuming most purchasers will qualify

Yes, but the $7,500 down is not coming out of pocket, it's the Fed Tax rebate. If you do put down $2,500 out of pocket, you can get the mileage up to 12k/yr and the monthly payment will be $461.54.

It does not say owners choice with flex
Isnt owners choice with flex the plan where they allow the extra 7500 .
Owners choice without is just. A guaranteed buy back at a set price
Lowering your monthly and you get your 7500 and keep it
Am I correct.
Great Northwest? What state? If it's WA, IIRC, EVs are exempt from sales tax. OR has no sales tax (at least on non-car purchases, not sure about cars).Clippy said:In case anyone is interested in what an "actual" lease/purchase arrangement for a particular vehicle would be, I provide the following, received by me today from a dealer contacted by me today way up here in the Great Northwest, where it isn't raining for a change.
2014 BMW i3
MSRP 50,875
$5,000 customer cash + $4,875 tax credit.
36m lease @ 10k/yr
$652.48/m
Includes all fees
Residual @ end of lease is $46% and thus $23,402.50

So, if I'm reading this right, the total cost of a lease for a base i3 w/3 year lease and 10K miles/year allowed is $652.48 * 36 months = $23489.28 or possibly $652.48 * 35 months = $22836.80. Am I right?

Doh! I misinterpreted "customer cash" to mean some sort of rebate.pbennett said:Clippy said:MSRP 50,875

$5k down = an additional $138/month. Money down on a lease is a really bad idea in general. Either way, basically $790/month. :\
I'd be very surprised if i3 sells anywhere near Leaf or Model S. Once the initial demand is met (doesn't seem to be too big to start with given even a lot of Active E owners aren't signing up) - my guess is BMW will find it hard to sell even 500 a month at the current prices because i3 is simply too impractical for too many people.TRONZ said:Going by the large number of Model S around me, I expect we will be swimming in i3's this summer. But like Nissan, after the sizzle fades, it will be time to adjust i3 prices and features for a more real world appeal. The second wave of i3 buyers will not be showing up with blank checks.
