I got a price on 09 X5 30i with Tech Pge, Rear Climate Pge, Premium Pge, Coldweather Pge and ipod/smart phone add on.
dealer is in Northern NJ and invoice price is $53,045 and asking price is $53,545 before tax.
is this a good deal?
also, should I wait for the normal end of sesaon(not sure if I used the right term) model sale?
thanks
Goodgame
the X 5 diesel.
If you are interested in a new 2009, then this is a good time to buy it. 2009 production ends in August. The dealers should deal on the remaining 2009s. There is $4,500 cash from BMW if you take delivery of an X5 diesel by August 31.
The times of year when BMW usually has significant lease incentives (in normal, non-recession years) are:
- December sales event
- End of the model year (Summer for the current model year)
- At the end of the 7th year of production, which is the last year before transition to the new model.
Never drive a diesel car before, I don't know how's resale value in the future. I'd better wait for next incentive for gasoline engine.
Were there any $4500 cash incentive from BMW for 2007-2009 gasoline X5?
Note that BMW will tell you that leased X5 diesels are NOT eligible for the $1,800 tax credit. I asked my sales person to research this with BMW North America and they provided paperwork that confirms their statement. It also says that on BMW's web site.
However, the IRS says different: "For a taxpayer to claim the credit, the original use of the vehicle must begin with the taxpayer and the vehicle must be acquired for use or lease by the taxpayer and not for resale." This statement is from the IRS bulletin for Qualified Advanced Lean-Burn Technology Vehicles that identifies the X5 diesel as being eligible for the tax credit. Fueleconomy.gov has similar language and refers to the IRS bulletin.
So BMW is point blank wrong with their statement that a taxpayer can't claim the tax credit after leasing a diesel X5. However, BMW will also tell you that claiming the tax credit is up to the tax payer, so they're not stopping you from claiming it.
I am looking for an X5 diesel and the best offer I could currently get is a base model (no features or packages) MSRP 52k and offered at 49.5k - 4500 diesel credit which boils down to 45k flat.
Is this a good deal? I am located in the BayArea but willing to travel for a good deal.
Thanks for your help!!
The invoice for the 3.5d is $47,285 which my current offer beats - I get 49,449 - 4,500 which comes down to $44,949 (+tax,dmv). Still, this is a basic model. I am wondering if there are deals out there like the one from a few posts ago where a $63k X5 was offered at $50k. I would be willing to spend an extra 5k if I get the car almost fully loaded.
Thanks!!
If anyone could tell me what I should pay for a base model w/ sport package it would be greatly appreciated. I believe the MSRP for this option is currently around 55K without the $4500 "Eco-rebate" BMW is offering thoughout August 09.
Thanks for your input.
that seems to be a good deal, I brought one 3 wks ago for $ 51,500.00 and it came with premium package,rear climate,running board,heated front seat,3 rd seat,
navigation,i pod/usb adapter and 1 yr s radio
premium package
cold weather package.
Is this a good deal? there are no rebate or incentive for gasoline version at this moment, but dealer told me before my car delivered(in 4 weeks), if BMW offers rebate or incentive in the future, I still can take it.
I have checked few dealership here in Northern NJ, and most fair price you can get for a Gas version 09 X5 (for whatever the option you put on) is few hundred over the invoice price.
Dealers will tell you there is no rebate or incentive for X5 (gas) right now, and of cause they won't tell you their month end and qtr end sales bonus for meeting the sales targets. It also will affect how many hot selling models the dealer will get for the next qtr. IE. the more they sell the more they will get them.
Another factor is for some reason X5 is hot right now, two out of five dealers I check told me they only have few at their lot and they are not willing to move them at lower price due to it is in hot demand.
I personally think there at least two reasons. One due to a low APR (2.9%) which made this SUV more affordable (BMW select will move the monthly payment even lower, although you will face a big final bill at end of your term). 2nd, X5 it is a nice SUV for its handling and size, this is the third year of this new model so many bugs had been fixed. This is just my take and I could be totally wrong.
So what does it mean? if you get few hundred above the invoice price then it is a fair deal (notice I didn't say a good/great deal), if you want something more than that, you have two options: 1. Just wait. once the 2010 model come in dealer will be willing to move the 09 model at a discount (that is if they have any left on their lot). 2. Get a used one (Exce Demo or showroom Demo). you pay few grand less for a lower mil "new" X5.
Hope my two cents helps and to all the X5 buyers out there want to save some money like me. Good Luck.

Edmunds' TMV for the Bay Area is actually lower than that for gadcar's area, but I guess no dealership here is willing to go 10k below MSRP.
Which dealership did you use? I looked around that there are not many 35d to choose from. The best I've heard so far is about 8k below MSRP (61k).
cheers
Will a salesperson make the same amount of money or more if s/he takes a special order from me?
Thanks for your input.
I'm not an environmentalist per se, but my next car has to be fuel efficient. At this point, diesel is my choice.
Norhtern NJ.
Do you have any additional reference on 2010 x5-35d ? I couldn't find much information on the net on changes to 2010. Any input on the invoice prices for this, plus options ? Also does the 1800$ credit applicable to this ?
I have been offered - $50740 with the following options for a 2010
- premium package, rear climate, ipod, heated front seats
Any inputs ?
Thanks for the info.
Thanks for your input.
I currently have the offer for a pre-ordered 2010 for 52k - 4500 BMW diesel credit - 2500 dealer discount. That comes down to 45k (base model) which is not quite as good as 1000 over invoice. Do you think I could squeeze the lemon a little more? I am in the Bayarea where BMW sells pretty much everything from what I hear.
If anybody has an opinion if that is a good offer please let me know. I want to make a decision soon.
Thanks everybody!!
2010 x5 35d. Packages: tech, premium, premium sound, heated front seats, ipod/smartphone integration with the iphone cradle, third row, tow package. Also, brown leather seats, and performance pickup.
They say the sticker is $65,015. My price before tax is 57k. They say this includes the 4500 discussed elsewhere on this forum.
Your help greatly appreciated.
Since I am looking in the Bayarea Sacramento would be reasonable close for me to drive up there. I had been in negotiations with Niello but was not able to get 1k over invoice. Can you point me to another dealership up there where I might have more luck?
Thanks!
I have been getting ready to order a x5 35d as well. I have realized that the best pricing seems to be about $1500-2000 below MSRP if you build the vehicle on bmwusa's site. Additionally, you should get another $4500 off for the "eco-rebate" if you order before 8/31. Does your offer include Resist-All, Tint, and Full mask? The dealer is quoting me $1843.00 for all of those. I am not sure it is worth it.
looks to me like he is trying to get me to a few hundred under invoice by including the eco-credit. i'm not feeling like it is a great deal just yet.
I just got this quote for an 09:
MSRP $55,275, Invoice $51,370 Price $47,370
Color Exterior: Deep Green Metallic
Interior: Beige
Options ·3-STAGE HEATED FRONT SEATS (494)
·BMW ASSIST (639)
·IPOD & USB ADAPTER (6FL)
·SMARTPHONE INTEGRATION (6NF)
·SAND BEIGE, NEVADA LEATHER SEAT TRIM (LUB4)
was curious if i order now it has to be a 2010 if cant be found in inventory. thanks
Titanium Silver Metallic
Beige Leatherette
Light Poplar wood trim
Rear Climate Package
Heated front seats
Running boards
iPod and USB adapter
Additionally, do you know anything about the Resist-all, tint and Full mask? Is it worth doing in addition to the cost of the vehicle- my dealer is offering this for $1843.00
i like my guy at athens bmw. if you think you might pick up in greenvile and do the performance center pickup, you can try him. no need to buy in ny. plus, my guy already knows about the credit.
Thanks for any input/help.
