Anyone getting better deals (1500 or more below invoice?) now that the 09 will be coming out soon?
I'm in OC, Southern California. Some dealers refused to give me the premium package credit of $2595 at that time, but I'm pretty sure they're going to have to offer $25k below invoince by the end of this month.
i found one willing to beat 2500 below invoice. (most said they can match).
I got 10k off MSRP on ML350 and lexus GX470.
dont know if its possible with X5.
im trying to shoot for 8000 off MSRP.
just invoice???
Sounds like most of you are getting close to invoice or below invoice on top of this credit?
so u mean u got 2505 below invoice without Premium Package?
if not how much below invoice was it?
which dealership is this?
Yes I am looking to negotiate so that I get close to invoice PLUS the credit.
I think this is reasonable given that many dealers have quite a few X5s on their lot and 2009s are coming out soon. Thoughts?
On the ques. of getting a 4.8 vs 3.0 I wish I got the 4.8 but my logical thinking overpowered me. Spending 10Gs more for a bigger engine, lower gas mileage would not have converted my X5 into an M3 beater, rather get the M3 later on for the thrills I would mention, I have found the 3.0 to be quite peppy, accelerates well, and giving me 17mpg in mixed driving. I am hoping the avg. will improve over time. I have 1000 miles on it.
1. Request for dealer quotes from Edmunds.com
2. Get some concrete nos. from dealers who contact you, they usually try to back pedal on numbers and will try to get you down to the dealership so that they can do their voodoo magic on you
3. Check out the car at the dealerships, don't take your checkbook with you on the first visit, so that it is easier to walk.
4. Once you are well informed, contact all the dealerships and quote the price you think will work for you, someone will eventually bite it.
No harm in trying, wish you good luck.
I am actually looking to buy a 2008 X5 3.0 with premium package and we do not really need a lot of options just the basic things. But I need your advice based on the discussions that I see, someone said that they got a $2,550 below invoice wo the premium package, is that possible? The invoice price is $42,505 and if it is true, the price he is getting is $40,505. Pls advice I am pretty new in this forum and would appreciate any advice what would be a reasonable price.
Tks a lot!
Rgds,
Tom
Also, what have you guys done on purchasing warranties (extended warranty, dent protection, tire protection)
I would suggest looking for a car on the lot with the fewest acceptable options for you and see if you can reach an agreement on price.
Cheers and Good Luck

I am actually looking to buy a 2008 X5 3.0.
Here are the options.
Alpine White, Premium pack, real climate pack, tech pack., automatic tailgate, running boards. satelite radio MSRP 53945, 825 destination charge.
Dealer offered 56000 including title and tax with 0.9% financing.
What should I offer?
Reading this forum, 50K is quite enough for dealer.
Advices are more than welcome. Thank you.
I am in Fort Lauderdale near Miami.
Tax is 6%. The Invoice price of the car is about 50,380. Thus, I guess 50K to 51K including tax might be reasonable price. What do you think?
Thank you for your adivice, Stockguru.
I just got a deal today. The MSRP is $57475 and got invoice less Premium package. I got 7K off MSRP.
Premium PKg
Tech. Package
Rear Climate pkg
comfort access keyless entry
3rd Row seat

Driving it off to my garage tomorrow.
Car man- any advice?
Exterior: Space Grey Metallic Interior: Black Leather
Packages: Premium, Tech, Rear Climate, Cold Weather
Options: Automatic Tailgate, IPod, Sirius
MSRP: $64,500 +/- a few $
Invoice: $59,560
Selling Price: $58,875
I'm also adding towing packing which they quoted at $1017.15 saying it is their "cost". Got a quote from a NJ dealer and they were $100+/- higher on towing.
What do you think?
I think good deals are still possible, shop the price you are getting to other dealers in the area, preferably over email so you have it in writing. The lots are thinning out though 'cause of the great deals. Tell the dealer the mandatory options and the price you are willing to pay, you will be surprised how many may want to negotiate.
Good Luck
BMW is continuing the current offers on the 4.8 through the end of September. The latest wrinkle involves the plan whereby the lessee puts down $3700.00 & then pays $729.00 per month for 36 months (includes Premium package, premium Sound,3rd row seats). I have been offered put down $8000 (includes all fees including NY taxes,bank, deposit,etc.) & pay $809 per month (includes Sirius,Navigation, and Sport package). Crazy? This is from a NYC dealer who says that it is better to put 2800 down and pay $978 per month...I now have more negotiating time & more number crunch time but I still would appreciate any feedback.
All of the leases are run through BMW FS in Ohio, either way..

time to get some good deal over 2008 X5 3.0 model, or should I wait for the 2009 X5
(no idea when it will be available though).... Any one has any suggestion? For 2008 X5 3.0, how much below MSRP can I expect, as this car will be almost one year old when 2009 model comes out?
Thanks a lot.
In northern NJ, I am getting a X5 4.8 with premium, tech, rear climate, Sirius, auto tailgate and iPod/USB. MSRP is 63,470, and I will be paying about $775 including tax for 36 months and 12K/year. If you are current BMW owner, you can get that even lower, since the money factors are very competitive. Note that this includes no up front cap cost reduction, but I did go with the 7+1 security deposits, which saves me about $50/month. This was all done this past Saturday with minimal negotiation taking a car form the lot.
Funny thing in real life, the difference between the V8 and V6 is probably not as big as it seems. I had an ML500 and averaged 16. The ML350 is probably good for 18 average at most.
I'd seriously consider rolling the tax in to the monthly payment and not put it down. If it is stolen or totaled, you lose that.
- premium package
- technology package
- real climate
- cold weather package
The MSRP is 54275, and the offer is at about the invoice at 49900.
Is this a good deal?
Thanks.
Best,
Matt

When I did my research last month, I found that people actually got around $1500 below invoice after hard negotiations. However, the closer you get to 09 model year, you might gain a little bargaining power. I've heard of people getting $2800 below invoice in certain situations.
As a reference, I bought mine last month for about $800 below invoice but was able to order the options I wanted and get it from the factory instead of taking dealer stock.
Good Luck
