2005 325xiT by 1chance

Hi,
I'm in the Pacific Northwest and want to buy the sport wagon. Dealers from Seattle to Portland don't seem interested in dealing via the internet or at the dealerships. Haven't even found a 2005 325xiT to test drive. The best offer I've had is $40,000 to order an automatic with sport & prem pkgs, leather, HK sound, xenon, full size spare, heated seats. Any advice?
Thanks,
1chance

Southern California. I think MACO is $400.

Hey blueguydotcom and spacewormfx....
 
Went to Cunningham in San Diego recently, so I thought I'd better debunk the Costco myth (invoice - incentives + $400, no maco). See message #1641.
 
On the first 'no haggle costco price' they 'forgot' about the $3000 incentive on the 2004 330i sedan. (I politely reminded them.)
 
The second price was about $1800 over my invoice number. Turns out it was $1300 markup with MACO of $300 and training of $160.
 
Not outrageously bad, but I didn't need costco and a drive to El Cajon for that kind of price (I live in SD, so no harm done.)
 
The costco price on a 325 is $800 over invoice - incentives, with, I assume, the same high?!? MACO/training.
 
I contacted another dealer through Costco as well and got quoted $1500 over cost with the same MACO and training fees (for a 330 on another dealer's lot.)
 
No-haggle does not exist. Costco just channels sheep to the wolves.
 
On a positive note, Cunningham does have an excellent test drive circuit.

 
Uh, dunno who you dealt with but I handled the purchase of two cars there for $400 over invoice (actually one was 1600 under invoice with the 2k rebate). Sorry. It does exist as I did it twice...

Run it by blueguydotcom. He seems to be able to get killer deals from So. Cal dealers.
Maybe he can give you some pointers.

What are the current lease residuals and mfs for an '05 330i on a 36 month/15K per year lease?

I got a killer deal for an 05 and good deal for an 04. The only difference is the low APR on the 04 since they are the exact same color plus options. I have to decide which to pick tomorrow. The price difference between the 2 is $350 more for the 05.

I'd look at the '05 depending on when you want to resell the car. On resale, a newer model year with the same mileage will always be worth more. I'd take a look at used car prices for two different model years to see what that difference is. Compare it to what you'll save in interest and you have your answer as to which way to go.

thanks dude. How do you translate the .0012 into a percentage?

Multiply it by 2400 to get eq. APR.
