I wanted your opinion on the deal I negotiated for my new Z4.

Invoice: $37,910
Purchase: $34,000
Demo with 4500 miles - not punched as demo

55,000 miles and 51 months
Black Leather

What do you all think?
$910 below invoice plus the 3k incentive...purchase price of $34k.
MSRP $39970
Selling price - $35250
Edmund's TMV- $35396
Sport Pkg.
heated seats
5 sp
upgrade stereo

z4gurl , considering my '05 deal maybe you didn't get such a deal?? But, if you're happy with it that's all that matters.
MSRP $43,370
Invoice $39,760
Premium Pkg.
Sport Pkg.
Steptronic
Leather
Xenon
BMW Assist
Dealer will do $38,030 + $499 dealer prep fee = $38530.
Considering that there is currently a $3000 incentive on the car (making the true dealer cost of the car $36, 760), I'm wondering if this is considered a good deal? I tried to get the dealer to drop the $499 dealer fee but they wouldn't go for it? Any opinions or advise would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
YOu should offer Invoice minus Incentive plus $500.
Please disregard the $499 dealer prep fee. It is nothing but pure profit. What does the dealer prep fee include I wonder?
2001 Prelude Type SH, 2022 Highlander XLE AWD, 2022 Wrangler Sahara 4Xe, 2023 Toyota Tacoma SR 4WD
my monthly payment is about $420/month +tax for 27 months.
I know that there is $5000 incentive this month.
Should I try to go below or is it a good price?
Also In edmund, TMV price is 40K and invoice for about $43K for this car,
I think I should go for somwhere in 38K.
What do you think about it?
your comments would be appreciated.
In checking out the TMV for the 2.5 w/ Auto & metallic paint - it shows as $32139 (Inv at 33730 / MRSP at 36745) which seems to reflect the 3K incentive for Nov. In the event I postpone my purchase until DEC does anyone in the know have info on the incentives carrying over to Dec.? I'm hoping to meet or beat the TMV this late in the year and maybe grab the Sport cloth / lthr combo if possible if I can save a little.
Lease incentives are another story, altogether..

Cars Direct is @ $40,237.
Is this typical, or waiting another month might be lower do to the '06 models coming out w/ 4 types of Z4's starting at a lower price than the current 2.5i. I don't want to see the MSRP lower on the '06 w/ new upgrades and styling and have paid more for the '05.
Any help on '06 would be appreciated!
But, it isn't here yet, and I have no information on it..

No telling what BMW might do with incentives... but, if you wait too long, then the selection of '05s will definitely drop off...
What happened to the Crossfire? You can pickup a Limited convertible for $30K, right now..

It might be the best of both worlds, and save you $10K, as well....

What is your opinion on the QC of Chrysler vs BMW? Also, what about the resale value in 4-5 years, respectively?
I'm also nervous that Chrysler is going to lower the MSRP on the '06's, which might be a breakeven in the savings dept- all things being equal. If the sticker is $3-5K less( LTD-SRT since there is too much $ in the car from the start in '05 models), and you deduct for the model year+rebates, you might be better off waiting? Newer model, same $ or close to it. Maybe $3-5k more for the '06's vs same model '05's!? Any news on '06 pricing? I gave you the link to the BMW '06 pricing above in previous post.
Thanks!
P.S. Could one put softer tires on the SRT6 to compensate for the stiff ride if I go on a long trip-say 1k miles(RT 2k)? Those Michelins are almost flat! They have the Continentals on the LTD that are softer do to the size etc. There is also a que. as to liability for changing out the tires I believe(?), if one gets in an accidente. I need to check this out...
Resale is obviously on the side of BMW.... Quality is hard to say... Both cars seem to have a lot of little niggling quality issues.... However, you won't pay for maintenance on the BMW for four years..
But, neither of these cars is overwhelmingly popular right now... resale is going to be a crapshoot... That said, I'd rather buy the current model at an $8K-$10K discount, than wait for a new one..

According to that article, BMW has only released the prices in Euros. If that's the case, then that would be the European price. Prices in Europe are not always the same when the vehicles are brought over to this side of the pond... I'd wait to see what BMWNA says about actual US prices.
bright red z4 2.5 manual with all the options including prem and sport packages except navigation system.
msrp 43170 inv 39525 tmv 38062 my deal 36000.
inv price - 3500.
Looks like a decent deal. I've not bought this yet. And there are 300+ miles on the car from test driving. Is that normal or a little bit too much??
also, can i find some sort of list on what to check before taking the car home. Or can some one advise me on that. Any suggestions are welcome.
I'm really tensed and excited as this is a big purchase for me and i do not want to take chances And i observed from the on board computer there is mileage of 15.8mpg for previous 100 miles or so. Is that normal or is it because it might have been used for test drives?
2005 3.0 Grey/Black
Everything but the Nav - Sport, Premium, M-Seats
MSRP - $48K+
Paid - $41K+
I had a 2003 325i on lease that I returned for $20K, applied it to the sales tax. All in lease $570/mo - 36 mos, 10K mi, .0014 MF.
I know there was room to negotiate (fees, rate), but the PMT was way under my expectations. Bill Jacobs in Naperville, IL.
Now I just need to buy some snow tires!
The only problem with waiting to lease... Sometimes, late in the model year, incentives will shift from leasing to purchasing.. If you are open to either, then this isn't a problem.. But, if you are intent on leasing, sometimes it can actually be more expensive to wait.
Of course, I don't have a crystal ball, and there is no telling what might happen.. But, if I had two months still to go on my lease, I'd take my chances..
One last thing.. are you sure the '06 comes out next summer? I thought it was February or March...

I read an article somewhere, I think it was on autospies that said the model will come out in the summer time, but Im not sure, I might have misread it. If it is coming out in Feb or March that is awesome!

If my lease calculations are correct, with the same terms for a '05 3.0 with premium, sport, smg, xenon, metallic paint and heated seats I'm looking at around $430-$470/mo. using Nov. money factor
I would expect the lease to be at least $100-$150 higher per month than the current model, all things being equal.. at least to start..
If they don't sell well, then after a few months, the prices may moderate.... or not..

Has 2100 miles, but never been titled (OWNER of the dealership which I got a quote from today drove this z4 last summer)
My asking price was $30k plus tax and fees
Dealer's final offer was around 34k + tax title fees, etc
How does this sound?
Any help would be appreciated thanks

What u guys think?
I actually liked the drive better without the sports package, so I would recommend you test drive both vehicles (with and without the sports package).
My stickers price was about $43,120 but I negociated down to $38,800 (I think they probably would have gone down a little more as well based on other dealerships I visited). So, perhaps you may have a little more room to go down on the price.
Hope this helps.
Any advice on the price? This is actually spot on with used Edmunds CPO price, hoping to go a bit lower.
Any advice will be appreciated.
With 100k/10 year warranty and BMW maintenance service, the dealer asks $40,000. (w/o tax)
Is it a fair deal? If it is not, what do you guys think about fair price?
HELP ME.
