Cheers!
Is there anyone getting price better than "$2k under invoice"? "2k under" means dealer's profit is at least 2k (2K + any vlume discount), which seems higher for in stock, retiring models.
I calculate that you paid $3175 below invoice. Is this correct? Could you email me whom you dealt with at Allison?
Thanks!
Prem. and Sport Packs, Xenon, Auto Transm.
Was this a good deal?
Did anyone buy the car at $4,000 under invoice?
Does anyone know if the rebates are still being honored?
Thanks, in advance!
Has anyone on this board ever teamed up with others to make multiple purchases at the same dealer at the same time? Seems like we have a forum to pair up an get multiple sales for one dealer.
Location - United BMW in Duluth Ga. I am not sure about the availability of $4k incentive in July. Even if the incentive is not available, you may be able to use the special financing.
It appears that they still have enough 5s in the lot. Good luck and let me know if you need additional info.
there ? there is a jpollock listed with the internet specials on their website.
thanks

Here is what I did
I added invoice price of 525i + PP + auto +rear fold down seat+ xenon = 38,470 - 3500 (incentive) = 34,970
The dealer told me their invoice = 39490 - 3500 (incentive) = 35990
I don't know how they come up with that invoice but the difference is $1020. I'm happy with that.
I also checked with different dealer. They told me they'd sell the car if they made 500 above invoice. But their invoice is much much higher then Allison's invoice.

Thanks for your cooperation!
BTW, I wanted the hard-to-find Blue Water Metallic color with the Sand Interior. My dealer located one at the New Jersey port destined for another dealer and made a swap.
I may have been able to get a better price, but I just "lost" a similar car at the port that had the fold down rear seats option that I wanted -- after a 24 hour wait, the original dealer finally responded to my dealer's phone calls and said he would not swap because he maintained that it had been sold (yeah sure!).
Bottom line -- if you really want a 5-Series BMW at a great price and with a reasonable choice of colors and options, now is the time! They're getting scarce!
Dealer is in SF-Bay Area California. Manager said they're wanting to move 2003 inventory. But he had only two 540's left.
Manual : 32800/-
Auto : 34010/-
Is this a good deal..
TIA

Edmunds Invoice: 44540
Dealer's Invoice : 44900 (with MACO + training)
My price: 42000 (exluding sales tax etc)
I had imagined every dealer charging 1% MACO fees in the bay area. training was about 160, i think.
best of luck to you

I got offered a 525i stock with auto trans and xenon for $35100
I think you're getting a good deal. What dealer is that ? Can youemail the salesperson and dealer to me?
When I was ready to sign for my 530i last Wednesday, the salesman tried to add more than $300 for those or similar fees. He said the invoice lists them. I reminded him that our deal was $41k + taxes, title and tags, and that we agreed to the $2k dealer "profit." He backed off and wrote the deal as agreed.
BTW, he didn't argue when I said that $2k dealer profit on a car obtained at the NJ port and my price for the car were a win-win situation. The dealer's only direct expenses will be the "garbage fees" tacked onto the invoice (if any), the sales commission, and the dealer's cost of getting the car ready for delivery.
Thanks!

So far most dealers want the incentive for themselves! Like my last post 525iA, Xenon for 35100... meaning $1400-$1600 off.
Know any deals in California? I'll fly to Nor Cal if the price is good.
Lets meet up and go buy 2 for better deal.
If so, would you mind emailing me with names?
Thanks,
kseshadr, I have the name and number of the dealer you might want to check out but I cannot view your profile although I am able to view others. See if you can view my profile and shoot me an email.
Thanks in advance
I have seen numerous mentions of the factory dealer incentive (it appears that it is still going on in July).
Could anyone tell me:
1) How much the incentive is? (I have seen anywhere from $3,500 and $4,500)
2) If the incentive is still being offered to dealers this month (July)
Thank you in advance for your help!
bradster, the prices i've been around here are anywhere between 2000 to 3500 off of invoice. don't take anything less than 2k. have you tried NoCal? i'd drive a couple of hours to save a grand or two.
$40,759 - $38,560 = $2,199. I still don't understand why the dealers were getting $1,200 or so over invoice, on the better deals prior to the "incentives" they have now. Was their another hidden profit? I know they get a consumer satisfaction credit of some sort in lieu of the "hold backs" other car dealers get. Are these cars just moving out too fast? I am in the Boston and would consider traveling when I purchase, too. DC.. is not out the question. I think some of us should consider getting the cars at the same time. Any thoughts? I can hear the clock ticking...lol
Typical fees besides tax and title are fees for tags, processing ($199 at my dealer's, which I will pay), BMWUSA advertising ($200+, which I will NOT pay) and BMWUSA training ($100-150+, which I will not pay). I made the deal for $2000 below invoice and agreed ONLY to the $199 processing fee. The salesman tried to add the two BMWUSA fees "because they are on the invoice," but he backed off quickly.
As to lease cost for a 525 vs a 330i, the better deal probably is the 525 because of the factory-to-dealer incentive on the 525 vs none on the 330i. My opinion only. I had considered a 330xi instead of the 530AI, but had to go with the 530, again, because of the incentive.
I've read on this board that Allison BMW in northern CA is offering good deals on the 5-series.
Hope this helps.
