Wow this is getting pretty exciting here with C working on his next ride right in front of our eyes!
It sure is exciting and $250 over dealer cost on a M is a great deal. I am dying that I am in the middle of my 550's lease and can't take advantage. This was be an amazing opportunity to grab one of the last new E60 M5s at a terrific price. I'd do ED as $250 over ED invoice on an M5 is one hell of a deal. Oh well, anyone dig my 550 and want to assume its lease??

I used that when I dumped my Saab 9-5 to get my 2003 E39 540i Sport. I offered incentives then. The wifey won't let me do so here (as the car is basically new, runs terrific and there is no economic emergency requiring that I dump the lease) so I don't know how effective leasetrader.com or swapalease.com is.

Thanks for all of your support. I actually did sell one car and order another from the forums and I am truly grateful. However, I did receive a bunch of inquiries from people who either aren't serious about buying or who asked me for specific deals that I was able to do and I never heard back. I love all of you but realize that if you're not serious, then it's basically a waste of my time and yours. To work low profit deals I need to get management approval which I am glad to do. However, when I do so, and they approve it's assumed that the sale will be made. In short, it makes me look like a schmuck and I can do that without anyone's help Thanks for your understanding.

That's a way of saying that members should not contact you about the terms of a potential deal unless they actually would consider buying a car from you if the deal is acceptable to them and that they should not use your time and effort to get some other dealer down when the member has no intention to buy from you. That sounds reasonable and fair to me.

Damn, this offer is so tempting that it's killing me.

Well, if anyone is interested in my 550's lease (ends Mach 2012), let me know.
