Re: Auto Loan Approvals

The car is a Type-S, not a regular TLX. I agree with you that it's a lot of money, but there was probably no negative equity.

Re: Auto Loan Approvals

It is a Type S and the total price does include almost every available dealer installed option and an extended warranty. Did not have negative equity in the 2023 TLX Type S that I traded in. Since I had a very strong feeling the 2025 TLX Type S was going to be the last of the model I decided to get exactly what I wanted. Just the carbon fiber options raised the price almost $10k but I am happy with it. Luckily I did get the '25 to my desired specs since it is no longer available.

Re: Auto Loan Approvals

APPROVING BANK: Landmark Credit Union (SE Wisconsin)
BUREAU PULLED: TU Auto 9 
CREDIT SCORE: 826

SOFT PULL/HARD PULL: HARD
CUSTOMER STATE OF RESIDENCE: Wisconsin
NEW/USED:  Used
YEAR OF VEHICLE: 2024
MAKE: Buick
MODEL: Envision Preferred
MILEAGE: 14926
FINANCE/LEASE: Finance

PURCHASE PRICE:  $28,471.57 (includes tax, title, and fees)

AMOUNT OF LOAN: $19,184.07 
TERM CONTRACTED: 63 (rate was same as at 60)
APR/LEASE RATE: 4.89

MONTHLY PAYMENT: $346.58
ANNUAL INCOME: $110090
DEBT TO INCOME RATIO: Not sure offhand, but fairly low
MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTARY: Pretty pleased with how this turned out, goal going in was to keep financed amount under $20k and monthly pay under $350. Came in with 4.99% @ 60 from another local CU and was surprised they were able to beat it - Landmark's lowest for 63 months on their website was 5.49%, so I'm guessing they were willing to push it a bit in the interest of closing the sale at the end of the quarter. Planning on paying it off fully by 36 months at most.

 

It is kind of funny that that's the best rate I could get with an 826 when my last auto loan in 2017 was 2.99%/60 with a 650 score and a much crappier financial profile, but I guess that's the state of the industry these days.

 

Incidentally for anyone interested, I've been loving the Envision so far - really feels like a luxury experience without paying luxury prices. That or I'm just a car noob and easily impressed lol.

Re: Auto Loan Approvals

APPROVING BANK: BMW Financial ( I asked dealer to only send to BMW first to see if they would pick it up. I have never bought a car over 55k and never owned a BMW). BMW Pre Approved me up 105k.

PURCHASE PRICE:80475.00
AMOUNT OF LOAN: 86044 with 4622 trade in
TERM CONTRACTED: 72
APR/LEASE RATE: 3.49
MONTHLY PAYMENT: 1328
ANNUAL INCOME: 260k+
DEBT TO INCOME RATIO: Unknown haven't calculated in awhile.
POI: POI was not requested though I took tax returns with me just in case as I am self employed.
MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTARY: Easiest finance deal I have ever done with any dealership. I financed under my Business with a PG. I was in and out in less than 3 hours and most of that was because I didn't know anything about the car's features and we spent awhile going over the systems. Car is fully loaded including BMW 360 camera package. I deliberately did not put anything extra down as I am trying to take advantage of Section 179 Deduction of Vehicles over 6000 pounds.


Additional services ordered:
BMW Maintenance 4 Years 75k Miles - 1495$
Caltex Resistall - 659$
Nobills Dent Guard - 746$
BMW Road Hazard - 2805$ (tires and rims are 1700 each)
BMW Gap - 1200$


0 Down Required, but traded my Camry XSE in. Due to hail damage I took a greater loss on trade than I wanted to but I was net positive still. Goal is to pay off in 4 years. 

 

Never thought I'd own a German car but wanted to indulge in something nice for a change. This BMW dealership likely won a customer for life. They went above and beyond for me and didn't waste my time. No Back and Forth BS that I've experieced at other Dealerships.
