faxing is not working... by dorisel

I am using the fax method to obtain offers on a 2006 325i (base except for the automatic transmission). I first contacted the dealerships and spoke directly to the sales managers and let them know that the fax was coming. Unfortunately, after sending 12 faxes, I only received 3 bids. The lowest bid I have received is 31,900. I was hoping to get a little closer to invoice. I live in Tennessee, so I faxed the bid requests to TN, MS, AL and AR. Do you think I can get a better offer going into a dealership?

........ $19,900 ..? ... seems a little on the cheap side for a "clean" 02 325i with 47k .... just make sure you have a quality service and body man take a real close look before you sign that check .. most dealers would be dropping the $18's in it - if it's an auto with warranty ........

KYFDX, Blueguydotcom & others..................
 
Finally decided on the car today after checking it out for the third time and an hour test drive. Man, what a nice car!
 
So here is the question, wanted to find out about leasing info. Not sure if I am going to lease or finance and the dealer said the rates were not that great for leasing.
 
Here is my setup:
     2006 330i
     Steptronic
     Sport Package
     Premium Package
     Cold Weather Package
         MSRP comes in at $43,545 and invoice comes in at $39,915 (based on
         Edmunds figures).
         Looking to finalize deal at $1,500 over invoice ($2,130 off msrp).
 
Could you guys let me know what the current MF rates are for July?
 
Could you lay out for me the whole leasing $ amount as if I was a 10 year old. (never leased a car, thanks) Base it on 3yr, 45k miles with as little money down as possible. That much at least I know. I live in California so tax rate is .08. There will be no trade in and just the minimum $ amount to put down. Base the car at $41,500 for round numbers.
 
Thanks in advance for the help and tutoring lesson!

BMW does not have a holdback so "invoice" is not going to happen unless there is a rebate. $1500 above invoice is a good price.

Re: Leasing. I have read in many places (Money Mag, Fortune ect..) that leasing for other than business use (where one can write off expenses) is not cost effective. Anyone with any ideas contrary? I ask for there seems to be allot of leasing in this area .. BMW prices paid. Thanks!
