I assume I can purchase the M240i for about 8% off MSRP and the M2C for about 6% off, but don't know how the residual value will change that equation. As a start, does anyone know the current 24 month lease residuals?
Thanks. |
Firstly, there is no crystal ball into the value of either car 2 years from now. Second, these are very different cars. The M variant will be louder, nastier, bumpier, faster, uncomfortable, less efficient, but will make you smile every time. Which do you want?
Since you trade every two years, you are taking major financial hits anyway so why do you care if you lose $1000 more or less?
