#5020 of 10316 Re: invoice pricing [bdr127] by gwill Sep 09, 2005 (8:09 am)
Replying to: bdr127 (Sep 09, 2005 7:20 am) So the answer is? Let me be a little more clear. Is it reasonable (on a BMW) to begin negotiating from the invoice sans listed destination costs or not? On the two or three other new cars I've purchased the dealer always tried to add destination on top of the final negotiated price, but was more than willing to sell me the car without that added charge. Are you saying that I should pay that charge and be happy for the privilege because it's a BMW shipped from Germany? I presently have a VW toureg and paid a flat price which I negotiated from the invoice price w/o destination charges. Am I mistaken or are those shipped from Germany too? So, again, do I begin Invoice price up with or without dest.? Replies to this message: kyfdx (Sep 09, 2005 8:15 am) gwill (Sep 09, 2005 9:18 am)

Replying to: gwill (Sep 09, 2005 8:09 am) Destination is part of the invoice price and the MSRP...   Of course, you should negotiate a price that has no additions, only tax, title, and license.... How they break it down after that, is up to them, and of no consequence to you...   So.. once you say, "I'll pay $XX,XXX for the car plus TTL", you shouldn't get in the finance office and find out that they want $XX,XXX + $695 for destination....   But, as far as determing a price you want to pay? Unless there is a dealer incentive on your model, the invoice price including destination is probably lower than you will be able get... Usually, invoice + dest. + $1000 is a good price on any BMW that doesn't have specific dealer incentives..   regards, kyfdx Replies to this message: gwill (Sep 09, 2005 9:18 am)

#5023 of 10316 Shipping Time?? by wstevec Sep 09, 2005 (12:43 pm)
My 325xi just left port yesterday for NJ, does anyone know how long it will take to arrive in port? I ordered it way back in January, so every day seems like a month! Thanks Replies to this message: bdr127 (Sep 09, 2005 1:33 pm)

Replying to: wstevec (Sep 09, 2005 12:43 pm) Usually takes around 2 weeks to get from port to port....

Replying to: bdr127 (Sep 09, 2005 6:41 am) "Of course you are able to negotiate a lower price for any type of delivery, but my point was that for a special order on a model that hasn't been produced yet, I'd imagine it would be tough to get a discount.... "   My point is that it is easier to negotiate a lower price on an ED delivery than a regular ordered car. This is especially true of high demand cars. The dealer has a certain number allocated to sell and will demand the most he/she can get for them. OTOH, most of the ED cars do not come from dealer allocation. As a result, the need to make the most from these high demand is less. It is a bonus sale from them.
#5026 of 10316 is this a fair price? by kmlsn Sep 11, 2005 (12:13 am)

Replying to: kmlsn (Sep 11, 2005 12:13 am) Rather than listing all of your options, it would be much easier for the other members to give you an opinion, if you just told them the MSRP...   regards, kyfdx
#5028 of 10316 Deposit by mattg Sep 11, 2005 (11:16 am)
Before I ask a dealer (chicago area), what is customary for amt of deposit on an order? Was thinking $1,000. Pls advise. Thanks. Replies to this message: calif65gm (Sep 11, 2005 4:22 pm)

Replying to: mattg (Sep 11, 2005 11:16 am) Yes $1k is pretty normal, sometimes you can get away with $500 if you have a past relationship with the dealership.
