Why Lease A Pre-Owned BMW?
Leasing a pre-owned BMW can offer many advantages over conventional buying. For example:
- Lower monthly payments compared to purchasing outright
- Access to a high-quality BMW at a reduced cost
- Opportunity to drive a recent model with many years of remaining warranty coverage
- Continued access to benefits like BMW Roadside Assistance and warranty protections tied to the certified program
- Knowing in advance the residual value and mileage allowance
- The option to purchase the vehicle at the lease-end or trade it in for a newer BMW
Requirements For Leasing
Not every pre-owned BMW is eligible for leasing. Here’s what’s typically required:
- The vehicle often must be BMW certified pre-owned, meeting strict standards for mileage, age, inspection status, and maintenance history.
- Mileage limits (commonly under 60,000 miles) are part of the qualification.
- Financial approval is often required through BMW Financial Services.
- Residual value and lease terms are evaluated similarly to new leases, though residuals may be more conservative.
Is Leasing A Pre-Owned BMW Right For You?
