#3578 of 10319 Re: hold back........ [mep1] by amt7565 Apr 10, 2005 (5:46 pm)
Replying to: mep1 (Apr 10, 2005 5:34 pm) I think there might be performance rebates that the manufacturer provides the dealers. For example, if a dealership sells 100 cars, then they would get a 1% rebate, if they sell 200 cars then they will get 2% rebates are so forth. I once worked for a TV dsitributor and this is how it worked. So the dealers tried to sell as many as possible by undercutting the MSRP. They could still make it up by getting those rebates if they sold alot. But I am not certain it works this way for the car market as well.   I know of a Honda dealer, who died some years back. He was worth $30 million when he died. Dealers certainly do make lots of money, but not necessarily the car salesmen.

#3583 of 10319 Is this a good deal? by ibexx Apr 11, 2005 (11:17 am)
I appreciate any help as I negociate the purchase of a 2005 325i for my wife. By the way we live in the San Francisco Bay Area.   Here a quote of a beautiful car that she loves:   Red, Automatic, Premium, Sport, Leather MSRP: $36,420 Invoice: $33,440 Dealer is offering $32,000   Is this a good deal? I was hoping we could get this down below $31,000.   Does anyone know the manufacturer to dealer incentives in April. Should we wait for better incentives that may appear in May?   Thanks, Ibexx Replies to this message: kyfdx (Apr 11, 2005 11:21 am)

Replying to: ibexx (Apr 11, 2005 11:17 am) Assuming your invoice number is correct, that leaves the dealer a profit of $1060, after taking into account the $2500 incentive.. So, I think another $1000 off will be unlikely..   I think that is a pretty good deal... If you are ready to buy, and make the offer, the dealer may come down another $200-$500, but I think that would be all of it..   No one knows what future incentives may show up, but you might not have much selection by then... I'm guessing sport package equipped cars are already rare..   regards, kyfdx
#3585 of 10319 I'd offer 31.5 by blueguydotcom Apr 11, 2005 (12:49 pm)
I'd tell them 31.5. There's no reason the dealer should get 1 grand on a DOA 325i. Replies to this message: peakpro (Apr 11, 2005 3:40 pm) blueguydotcom (Apr 12, 2005 10:36 am)

Replying to: blueguydotcom (Apr 11, 2005 12:49 pm) Does "DOA " mean it will never run.    The E46 is still a great car and it looks much, much better than the E90. The E90 is bloatted and boring looking and th edash is a joke. (To me and many others)   Shee gets a great car for 32k. How many buyers from the past year would jump for joy to get that car for 32k.   I say try to get anothe 200 off if you can but the deal is not bad at all.
