invoice price for the car, they keep the 1250 for the automatic incentive.
is this a good deal and has anyone done any better?
thanks for the input
Basically, just use either Edmunds or KBB and request quotes from all the dealers in your area for the exact configuration that you want. These requests go directly to the internet managers at the different dealers. Once they start calling you, make sure they have the exact car that you want. A lot of times, they will tell you that the car they have either has an extra option or less an option. But as long as you know the invoice price for these options, just calculate that into the final invoice price of the car. NEVER tell them if you are financing or leasing because then they try to sell you on the monthy payments, etc. Just say you want to settle on the final price of the car before you decide your payment options. This method has worked for both me and my gf. I took the deal, but she ultimately decided to go with the IS250 because it was $4000 cheaper with better options.
Once the internet managers give you their quotes (some even email me the invoice cost of the car), use them against each other to get better pricing. I received one quote from a dealer for $865 below invoice. I thought that was going to be the best deal for sure, but then I told another dealer that I was getting this deal. They beat it by $500.
Good luck shopping!
2008 335xi sedan
metallic paint
premium package
sport package
cold weather package
iPod/USB
sale price: $43,800 (+ tax and tags)
I calculate the invoice at 44,950 minus 1,260 for auto tran discount = 43,690. Do these numbers seem right?
*125 test drive miles on it. something to worry about or is this typical?
thanks! i'm looking to buy a 328xi sedan w/ aut transmission in the next two weeks and i want to make sure i know what a good deal is and what's not!
328xi sedan
sparkling graphite exterior/black leather interior
automatic transmission
premium package (bluetooth/assist, leather, power seats, digital compass)
heated seats
ipod adaptor
for 37,500 + tax/title with 0.9% finance rate.
is this a good deal?
thanks!
I also plan to take advantage of 0.9% rate. Can those recently purchased and used the 0.9% loan share more detail information ? Basically I just want to know if there are any hidden cost associated with the 0.9 rate.
Thanks
The way it works: They loan you money and you have to pay 0.9% of that amount every year until the loan is paid off.
This was a custom build, $860 under invoice.
Invoice: $54,760.
MSRP: $59,495.

MSRP $38720

60month finance at 0.9%
but i bought a 335i sedan with premimum pacakge, i got the preferred customer discount $2820 for this one, it's a better deal
btw, the 0.9% rate will be ended on July 31.
Thanks

If so, could some one please suggest me the price I have to ask the dealer with the above options.... FYI, I am getting invoice price as $38,265.00.
Really appreciate your inputs.
Thanks in advance....

So, what's a good price depends on what else is being sold in your area for how much.

premium
idrive
sport
paddle shifter

here is the link to the bmw site with the car i got, if your interested in the specs.
Transaction was smooth and no problems.
52.5 car
sale at straight invoice: 48Kish sell price
,9 finanacing for 60 months
the dealer kept the auto trans money as profit
and i got a set of all weather mats thrown in for good measure.
I will say this, perillo bmw in chicago charged me for detailing a new car and putting gas in it, and floor mats. This was the only bush league aspect of the experience. I didn't complain to much, as being the charge for the money will be 1000 dollars for the next five years. all that being said they matched car max on my trade.
I also have a friend who blew out his run flat tire and it cost him 1K to get two new tires installed. So i bought the road hazard insurance for 599 for five years.
that being said, if i wasn't buying the coupe, i think i could have gotten this done below invoice and gotten some of the rebate money back. but that being said, love the car, love the financing.
hope this helps.

I got it for $41K even. BMW of San Diego went to extreme lengths to earn the business. I highly recommend them. Two dealers I would stay far away from are Crevier & Brecht. Very shady practices. In fact, on another model, same options less the navigation and metallic paint I was offered $39,650.00. .9% financing for 60 months is for real.
Good luck on your hunt....
Today will be an ideal day to make a deal. All I did was email the internet sales managers directly. Trust me..they will get back to you quickly...many performance bonus's are at stake today... I asked how long the .09% would last...they would not confirm whether the .09% would go beyong 7/31. Hope this helps... Good luck
I don't have a crystal ball... but, if I planned on getting an '08, and finance rates/lease rates were important to me, then I'm not sure I'd chance waiting...
But, then again.. I'm not much of a gambler..
Different story, if I were shopping domestics..
