Replying to: blueguydotcom (Jun 23, 2004 3:12 pm) Im located in MD - I got the general impression that most folks are not getting prices at or under invoice.

Interested in a 2004 325i Sedan w/Premium (Titanium silver/beige leatherette). Trying to get a sense of what I should be looking for from a deal perspective. Recently saw a June $1200 rebate, but not sure if this incentive will continue though July. Replies to this message: vancmt (Jun 24, 2004 12:14 pm)

Email deal accepted, deposit made, car delivery on Saturday 1100 VOB BMW in Rockville, MD.   Salesperson clarified my confusion on the web site price, which doesn't list packages, as car was invoiced PRIOR to 1 Jan $400 price increase.   '04 330i Base $34,800 Imola red ZHP $3,900 Nat Brwn Lthr $1,450 Xenons $700 Cold Wthr ZCW $1000 (vice just heated seats) Destination $695 MSRP = $42,545 Invoice = $38.9K My accepted offer $37.2K +TTL (includes $2400 June incentive)   I was looking at a trip to Germany to do European delivery, but the June incentive made this a push financially.   kyfdx, Good words on the winter tires/wheels. Is the BMW jack sufficient, or should I invest in something better to do tire exchanges?   Anyone have standard/premium '04 330i takeoff wheels? Oh, wait, there's message boards for that, too....   Soon to be ZHP, Jim Replies to this message: goochman (Jun 24, 2004 5:19 am) kyfdx (Jun 24, 2004 5:27 am) goochman (Jun 24, 2004 5:56 am)

Replying to: jamesspot (Jun 24, 2004 5:05 am) Im dealing with VOB also - I believe you got below MSRP since the rebate is $2400 on 330 vs $1200 on 325 - I think VOB wants approx $1200-$1400 per car which fits into your priced deal and mine at $200 over MSRP on a 325xi. IM going to push a bit more but VOB appears to be giving the best pricing - though I hear the service dept isnt as good as the sales one. Replies to this message: kyfdx (Jun 24, 2004 5:27 am)
#1481 of 10320 Winter wheels.. by kyfdx HOST Jun 24, 2004 (5:22 am)
My tire guy swaps mine.. Only charges $16. I have to take the tires down there and back, but he's only two miles away, so not worth the rest. I've never used the BMW jack, but from what I've heard, it should be used for emergency purposes only... I doubt it would be much fun trying to swap out four tires with it. A $100 hydraulic jack from Sears would probably suffice if you want to swap yourself.   Any 17" wheel from an E46 BMW '01 and newer should work for your car.. For winter, stay away from the staggered setup off a 330i sport. 5-series wheels will not fit.   Congratulations! kyfdx

Replying to: goochman (Jun 24, 2004 5:19 am) Goochman.. Keep in mind.. you may not get quite as good a deal as jamesspot.. He bought an in-stock car with no sunroof. That is what he wanted, but most dealers will work hard to move a car like that.   regards, kyfdx

#1484 of 10320 Latest news on incentives... by kyfdx HOST Jun 24, 2004 (6:32 am)
The dealer incentives on 3-series will indeed expire at the end of June. They will be replaced with LEASE incentives. If you are going to BUY your 3-series, then I would wrap it up before the 30th.   regards, kyfdx

#1486 of 10320 Lease incentive vs Buy incentive by scsnospam Jun 24, 2004 (8:37 am)
I am about to take delivery on a new 330i. The dealer has agreed on $500 over invoice (including $2400 rebate).   1. Is this a good price ? 2. My plan is to lease the car for 3 years. So is it better to lease at the current buy price, with an MF of 0.22 (i hope), or wait for the lease incentive (if one is coming up) ? 3. I figure that if I lease, and invest the $10k to $20k I was going to put down if I were to purchase, I would make enough to cover the ~ $2k difference between lease vs buy. This way, I have the option to return the car for any unforseen reason, or buy it after 3 years. What do you think ?   This is a great board. Thanks all for their comments !   BK
