Lease is up in late-May. Went to the dealer today to discuss options.

Said that they don't have any flexibility on the buyout with BMW. So basically my options are to buy the car per the lease for $40,000 or pay $42,850 for my car with a certified warranty and they make my last payment, so really $42,000 certified. Tires are extra.

So basically, the question is do I take the gamble with a car with 26,500miles that has been virtually trouble free or pay to gain two more years of warranty? Existing warranty ends in May 2012. So basically $1000 per year for 2013 and 2014.

Thoughts? They said they would retail the car for $48,500 or $49,000.

Thanks for your opinions.
