But then again, a profit is a profit regardless of the amount. The whole deal is all done via emails and phone calls, meaning I have not met the dealer yet but know how he looks like because he sends his picture along with his emails. Unlike Weatherford BMW and Peter Pan BMW in the bay area, twice I asked, twice I didn't get a strange answer. They wanted to haggle, but I don't. They were so arrogant.  So what happened? I didn't bother to call, and none of them would ever made a penny from me. The result, those two got bad reputation, and this dealer will get my recommendation to edmund bimmer buyers in the bay area if the deal goes well. Just to let any dealers who happen to read this forum know, treat you customers well. Because bad news travel fast, and you can actually lose businesses.

I will definitely recommend this dealer once the deal goes through. |

And waiting for him to call back. It is still little hard to believe I am getting such good deal if it's what it is. Thanks guys. Once the deal is closed, I will reveal the dealer. Until then, don't want to do any free advertisement. |

I am looking to buy the 2006 BMW 325i (automatic,premium package, and navigation) in the next week. I am considering paying cash but I am not sure where I should start in the negotiations process. I know usually you want to be closest to invoice as possible but I also know these cars are in high demand so I dont know how low they will go. I test drove one today and the MSRP was about $37,000 and according to edmonds the invoice is about $34,000. Can anyone tell me where to start? Does anyone have one and care to share their experience. Thanks!

Hello all, Just got quoted what I *think* is a good deal but of course would like your expert opinions: 2006 325i edmunds: MSRP $30,300 - Invoice $27,755 Black sapphire metallic premium package automatic fold down rear seats premium stereo (logic 7) satellite radio prep floor mats Total price (incl. destination) quoted: $35,400 Total MSRP w/ all the options: $37,395 This price includes MACO and training service fee, which sound like bogus fees to me but does everyone pay them? The dealer said there's no way he'd take them off at the price he was offering.... So what do you all think? It's a hot car so I think it's a good deal but wanting to check.
