Just submitted an order for a new 2005, taking advantage of Autobahn (in Ft. Worth's) heavily advertised promo - "$4k off MSRP". Other area dealers claim there's no way, so I'm curious to see if they come through...it looks legit, as I've signed papers & given them a deposit, etc.
 
2005 325i Silver Gray
Automatic
Fold down rear seats
PDC
computer
Navi
MSRP 34,670 (incl dest)
 
+mats $150
+ipod option $295
+universal transciever $385
 
= $31,500 sales price
 
Seems pretty darn good to me!!

Sounds nice.. just like mine, except I have Xenons, heated seats, and I don't have the PDC.
 
ia... i = fuel injection.. or at least it used to... now, it is just something they put on every car.
 
a = automatic
 
I'm surprised that one doesn't have heated seats up there in Michigan.. I doubt any of the cars they order for dealer stock in that area are without it..
 
I see asking prices of similar cars here in Cincinnati at the dealer and CPO for $28,800 but they don't have the Sport package.. How much are they asking for it?
 
If that is the entire option list, that car MSRPed for right around $37,300 new.

kyfdx

If you assume the mats are $150 and a $200 MACO charge on the invoice, then you are paying about $1300 over dealer cost.. Not a bad deal, but you might be able to get $500-$1000 less at this time of year.. That is pretty much the standard option package, so it isn't like you are looking for a strange combination that is hard to find.. Of course, being the standard package, they won't have much trouble selling it either.. They aren't trying to rob you at that price.

What do you mean by "this time of year" on a 2005?

I don't know how they do that, but they have been running specials like that for months... I haven't heard anyone say that it isn't legitimate.
 
Almost makes me wish I lived in Texas.. nah.
