Replying to: edogg1 (Apr 09, 2007 1:05 pm) Just found my original sales brochure on my '05 325i..it made me a little sad to know I will have to be saying good bye to that car soon.. a 2 year lease seems to zoom by..I really should have done more research on the lease purchase option.. EDogg, I think Edmunds invoice pricing on BMW's is wrong. My understanding is that there is 7% difference from MSRP and invoice..I think most here would agree that 500-750 over invoice would be a good deal, as well if possible to max your MSD...it really does save you money. Buy rate for BMW this month is 1.40 (maybe it's 1.55 without security deposit because you are a first time BMW owner?) and aqq. fee should be 625. How come you're not going to South Bay BMW? Is it because all of the bad publicity they received recently of demanding fingerprints from anyone who purchased or leased a car from them? I was to both LB and South Bay (with a friend looking at a 335i). I thought both places seemed to have a good atmosphere and selection..in the end just make your decision on who earns your business and gives you the best service..because if they can't do it when you are buying a car, imagine them when you do have a problem.. Good luck. Donna

Replying to: jim_beam (Apr 07, 2007 9:12 pm) Have repeatedly tried to PM you re you SA at BMW Mt. View without any luck. May be because I use a Mac. Could you PM me with the info? I live in SF and it appears the best deals are down your way and Sacremento. Thanks in advance.

| I'm in Seattle where the deals are few and far between. A few years ago, I found a few lease deals where they would purchase the vehicle in Southern California where the market was more competetive and ship the car to you and you'd still save a ton. Anyone know of any outfits doing that or if that's still a good way to go ? Otherwise, I can just solicit bids from them. This is for a new 335 Convertible. I can't immagine just doing an in-person negotiation. | |

Replying to: edogg1 (Apr 09, 2007 7:55 pm) all things being equal, I would choose the dealership closest to your house..that is the dealership that will always be the most convenient for you for service and maint. and who you'd want a relationship with.. when I was at South Bay I had an outstanding sales advisor.. someone I'd recommend, because she was very detail oriented without high pressure..Linda Smalley.. she is not a decision maker, she will most likely get her sales mgr involved, but as far as knowing the cars and be very pleasant she is tops..I didn't really push to hard on the deal there, because my friend was just looking, but they did offer 750 above invoice(not on the 335i coupe, nobody is making any concessions on that car) and uninflated aqq fee and buy rate..after I let them know I wasn't going to pay mark up n either of those things.. Lucky you, shopping for a new BMW, it doesn't get much more fun than that.  Donna

Dealer offered $300 over invoice down from $46,995, to about $43600. This seems like a good deal. (includes: navi, sport, premium, steptronic etc). He is offering a MF of .002xx. I told him based on my research BMW MF should be .00140. He responded telling me that would require a security deposit. Is this true? This makes my monthly payments over $650 including tax (with Minimum-drive off around $1050). I see people getting $550 or less all over this townhall forum. Is there a much better deal out there? ALSO, the car i wanted had a bit of rough idling, and they told me this was just because the computer needed to be reprogrammed. is THIS true? I don't want to pick up a problem BMW!!! Also, I'd prefer a 335i, but its a bit out of my price range. Should I cut back on options from a 328 and get a 335 (including long waiting list?!) Feedback & Comments are much appreciated!!!
