Residual values change all the time (up and down), and it helps to find the sweet spot. I was able to recently lease a 535xi for 30 months based on a 67% residual value!

The 535xi is a sweet ride and I'm getting 28 mpg on the highway.

I really enjoyed by X5 but this is the best car I have ever had.

Love it, I'm trading the Treg in as well, but dealer trade, my local stealer offered me 32k (Buyout is 37k) not so bad!

What are you trading the Treg for?

A5 or 535i or 650i convertable we shall see!

That's a big jump from a Mercury Milan

still trying to figure how the 535 and 650 conv fit together in any ballpark

huge price difference and style difference (coupe convi/sedan).

I agree with those saying you shouldn't do it. The C is a middle-of-the-pack type car. It's not particularly fast, particularly fun, particularly luxurious or particularly spacious. It isn't even very efficient. It's just kind of average. Not to mention... a red C300... that's about as feminine as you can get short of a red CLK convertible. A black C350 might be different.

Wait until the facelifted E90 comes out and see if you like it.
