Replying to: bmq (Dec 30, 2005 1:05 pm) 2) I'm not sure how BMWFS does extra miles... I'm thinking you have to add $0.15/mile to the cap cost... or lower the residual by the same amount (the latter is better).. Either way is expensive.. BMWFS will let you buy miles later on in the lease, when you have a better idea exactly what you will need... for $0.16/mi... I'd do that, and get a lot closer to the exact number.. than take a chance on buying miles that I didn't need.. regards, kyfdx |

Hello. I'm interested in an 06' 330xi with manual tran, premium pkg, cold weather, and comfort access. The Edmunds MSRP, TMV, and invoice prices are: $42,745, $41,327, $39,120. Would anyone have an idea of what sort of prices I could get in central NJ? And do you have any opinions on the dealers: Open Road BMW (Edison), JMK BMW, and Princeton BMW? Have people gotten good deals from them? Thanks.

Just ordered a 330xi from Charlottesville, VA after talking with Fairfax, Sterling, and Richmond. 330xi (manual transmission) graphite metallic, premium, sport, cold weather, 18" wheels MSRP / Invoice = 44,220 / 40,480 Paid = 42,325 (invoice + 1,845) I don't think this was a superb deal, but the Richmond dealer was terrible -- playing games on the trade in, adding on for floor mats (how trite), and not very responsive to specific requests (e.g., "find me a car that matches these specs") Fairfax was pretty good to work with, very responsive, and offered decent prices, but seemed to have excessive fees (don't know if it's high doc fees or add'l taxes in Northern Va). I'm interested in what others are paying for the fees that are not state mandated (like sales tax). My fees came out to: sales tax = 1366.37 (3.2% in Va) doc fees = 399.00 other misc fees (tags, etc.) = 49.50

I have an opportunity to purchase an Alpine white '04 330i w/ZHP, Step, xenons, leather, moonroof, rear airbags and cold weather; asking $33,988. Not CPO'd. Comes w/ disclosure that vehicle comes from BMW's performance center w/ 2500 miles, and front bumper cover replaced. Thoughts and concerns or suggestions are appreciated. Reasonable bid? Thanks.

Replying to: jcflorie (Dec 25, 2005 5:23 pm) This is ironic! We're also in the DC area and looking to do the ED as well, circa spring. Same car to a "t" saving we want the 6-speed manual. Please post what you discover, I will likewise. I'm going to BMW of Sterling for the initial inquiry. Good hunting. |

Replying to: richmondmom (Dec 30, 2005 1:31 pm) How was your experience with Sterling? Did you negotiate via emails or face to face? Additionally, I added up your sales tax(1366.67), doc fees(399), and misc(49.50) and came to a total of $1814.87. Difference of $30.13 ($1845-1814.87). Could you please clarify your final, "this is it" OTD price. Much appreciated.

MSRP 38,425 (automatic, sparkling graphite, sports and premium package, sirius wiring, comfort access) Dealer sold it to me for 36425, 2000 off MSRP. What do you guys think? BTW, I LOVE THIS FORUM! |

I paid 40900/-. Not sure if it was a great deal. However, I could not negotiate further as the dealer was terrible. |

Replying to: slugdriver (Dec 30, 2005 2:14 pm) Let me clarify the $$ -- the price I got to was 42,325 (which is 1,845 over invoice for my specs). 42,325 + TT&L of 1,814.87 got me to the total "check I have to write" of $44,139.87. I talked to a lot of dealers (Mercedes and Audi, too) over the last week or two and seemed to get different estimates for TT&L from everyone -- some charged flat doc fees, some tried to charge % of price, etc. I'm sure all of these fees are negotiable. It seems like many folks on Edmunds forums are focused very much on cost (vs. invoice) but not so much on all the add-ons like doc fees. A dollar is a dollar.
