zhp...do as suggested and drive both the 330i and the ZHP back to back and hard. That'll tell ya if it's worth it to you. Some believe it is (me), others don't.
#1656 of 10323 330I with Performance Pkg by sphynx Jul 28, 2004 (9:48 am)
I'm currently looking to buy a 330I with the following options:   Performance Pkg Navigation System Xenon lights Sunroof Cold weather pkg (split seats and heated front seats) Black Leather Silver Gray Metallic.   Now my credit score is 835 and they are trying to get me at 2.9% saying that the 1.9% is the BUY rate for them. (I think this is bullshit)   Next from my research the car costs them 42325 with the base plus options at their cost, They add 200 for MACO and some training BS Fee to say their invoice is 42525. Now take out the 2400 manufacturer rebate to dealer and I get the figure of 39925 their cost (giving them the 200.00 fee for maco, otherwise its 39725)   They offer it to me at 41425 plus 934.50 to ship from it's current location in the states (only car left at the moment from all the searches that meet my criteria and i've confirmed this with 3 other dealers and carsdirect.com) Plus they now add a 399.00 doc fee and then the 43.00 title fee.   I'm wondering simply what opinions are because this is a tad over 3% for a car that starting Aug 1st when the 05's roll off the line will be 1 yr old.   Of course they wanted a 'deposit' ie credit card for 500.00 down to get it shipped but i absolutely have signed nothing so if they don't want to deal with me i can surely have my credit company yank the charge if they try to push it on me. I'm just concerned I could get a better deal so what are your feedbacks, experiences and thoughts? Am I correct or is this a good deal and i'm being pushy?   btw...the sales guy says he's made the deal (nothings signed) and he's through working on it...I say if it's not a good deal let them eat the shipping and sit on it since the 05's are due to hit....

Replying to: sphynx (Jul 28, 2004 9:48 am) I'm shopping for one also, and I've found much better deals than that but I'm looking for a different color, no nav system and no cold weather package. If that is truly the only car that meets your criteria, then I guess you are out of luck - is it too late to order an 04?   If you are flexible on color you might be able to locate more cars, not sure if that is okay with you.   As for the 2.9%, I've had 2 dealers say that as well, but I saw posts here quoting 1.9%. I got one dealer to agree to the 1.9% but his price was too high. Not sure what the official rate is...it certainly isn't advertised anywhere.

Replying to: jazevedo (Jul 28, 2004 10:30 am) yeah all the 04 chassis' are taken except for 1 and it's a AWD chassis. so the special order is out of the question. What are you looking for? I've pulled the consumer reports prices so if you need to know their actual cost I can give them to you on the options. Replies to this message: jazevedo (Jul 28, 2004 11:13 am)

if youre concerned about resales i wont suggest you to take it, most of the time non PP 3ers are hard to sell, not sure why. i took my chences with the greygreen, which will be hard to sell as well as far as pricing goes id suggest you not to go more than $1k over (invoice-$1200 incentive), got mine for invoice-incentive+$400s, so considering the popularity, it shouldnt be too hard to make bargains

Replying to: sphynx (Jul 28, 2004 10:55 am) I'm looking for the zhp with leather, moonroof and xenons. The invoice price is 40,100 and if I can find one for $1700 below invoice, free mats and 1.9% financing I'm sold! I'll see what I can work out.....if I can't get this deal I may not be able to justify paying this much and may have to go for the G35. I don't like the looks of that car too much though...   I wonder when they'll start giving incentives for the 05! If they are only going to make them for 6 months before switching to the new 3'er for 06 maybe 05 deals are only 6-9 months away...
#1662 of 10323 2004 330i w/ ZHP by cowpoke Jul 28, 2004 (6:17 pm)
How's this deal? 330i with ZHP, xenon, steptronic for $1000 under invoice and 1.9% for 60 months? I wasn't originally looking for ZHP but like to drive and I really liked the car (black on black) and the wheels etc. that come with the ZHP. I'm very close to pulling the trigger.   Thanks.

Replying to: kyfdx (Jul 27, 2004 5:45 am) I want to see what I should be shooting for in getting a very good or excellent deal on a 325i 36 mo lease (12K/year): Options: Spts pkg on board computer heated seats 5 spd glass moonroof MSRP 32045 w/destination Invoice 29385 TMV 30073 what type of residual, cash factor What do you think about BMWs navigation pkg (what would this add to the monthly price) assume no cap reduction (I'll take your great advice) (I'll keep sales tax out of the equation) Additionally, would there be any incentive at the dealer to close deal before Aug1? thanks a bunch!

Replying to: kyfdx (Jul 28, 2004 5:53 am) The boxster was special, I bought it in Feb for 29.5 (16 k miles) (55k orig sticker) great deal. I sold it a few days ago for 29.3. He got a great car at a great price as well. Warranty was going to run out in April of 05, figured now was the time to sell to get the most for as the summer window was closing and buyers would be looking for used 02 next year. hey thanks for all your help, I hope the BMW with sports pkg will drive close to how the Boxster handeled. I'll take your advice a scrutinize the SMG really well before commiting, my wife will only drive it ~5% of the time so she may have to put up with the manual (she did drive the Boxster well, but was always a little nervous) Rob
