The price looks pretty good... If I were negotiating, I'd ask for the 6yr/100K maintenance extension.. (value: $1K)..
 
Natural Brown is really nice looking.. reminds me of leather furniture.. I'm not fond of Orient Blue (like that should matter to you), but it contrasts nicely with the NB.

I get $458.75 + tax.. If NY just taxes the lease payment, then that comes to about $497/mo...
 
So, I'm getting $7/mo. less... That could be explained by a different tax calculation than the way I did it... If they multiply the total payments by the tax rate, then add it to the cap cost, that brings it up to about $500.. Tax on the acquistion fee? If not paid upfront and rolled in, that is another $2/mo...
 
As you can see, we're talking minuscule differences.. $7/mo at most....

Thanks for your reply. Ok sounds like i got a great deal.
 
I think the coupe is still better than the 06 sedan simply because the coupe is sportier and has the performance package. Also, mine isn't the demo model. I had it custom ordered they are making it in germany so can't be demo. They are shipping it over here so I assume it isn't a demo?
 
I wish the coupe 06 came out but can't wait that long!

That's really crummy that they sold the car out from under you. I can tell you that my parents bought 2 cars from wide world last year (an '04 X5 3.0iA and an '05 530iA) and the buying experience was quite good. I'm actually using the same guy again if I decide to go ahead with an '06 325i. If you email me I can give you the name of the salesman I worked with. I'm not sure where you live (Rockland, Westchester, NJ), but they came out to be the cheapest both times. I called many dealers for pricing in the city, Jersey, Westchester, CT...
 
If you're leasing, ordering an '06 might be cheaper considering the residuals will be higher. You can extend the lease on your Volvo for a few months. You really don't need the AWD in our area (the car mfrs. make you think you need it) Honestly we get maybe 5 days a year where the roads are bad. Go with a 330i and get a set of snow tires for it.

That's terrible. They might have sold it for a higher profit. I am not sure what kind of recourse you have. You paid a deposit and that makes it an agreement. If I was in your position I would be very angy too! You will have to look into your rights as a consumer.
Good luck.

If you signed a legally binding agreement saying a certain VIN is your car I'm sure you can go after them for car rental fees until you can get a 2006.
Possibly talk to a lawyer...

2006 330i Sedan
$36,300 MSRP
$695 Destination Charge
$475 Sparkling Graphite Metallic
$1,000 Cold Weather Package
$2,200 Premium Package
$1,600 Sport Package
$575 Power Rear Sunshade/Rear Manual Side Window Shades
$350 Park Distance Control (rear)
$2,000 On-Board Navigation System w/iDrive
$45,195 Price as configured
 
$3,825 Difference between invoice
$661 Difference between TMV
 
In addition I will be adding the Comfort Access option, thus pushing my build date into September.
 
Currently I'm talking to a sales rep from another dealership (BMW of Towson) who is extremely help. Another sales rep from that dealship said they are the biggest BMW dealer & have #1 Customer Service in Maryland and #5 in the Nation. I dont know how true this is but they do have a large size lot, twice as big as the next largest one I've seen.
 
What do you guys think is a reasonable price to pay for this. The dealer gave me about a 640 dollar discount off invoice and said will call to talk the next day and never did. So I wont be going back to that place unless they give me an amazing deal.
 
Thanks

At that level, I'd want $1500 off MSRP.. .even if it is a brand new model....
 
Prices go up about $500 for cars that arrive after September 1st..
 
I've never heard anything good about Towson... especially their service department...
 
Have you tried Passport?
