I am getting to the posts a little late by 3 or 4 pages but before you go to the little folks at Global Imports in Atlanta let me tell you what happened to me. Most of the business that are on these pages involve the internet. Since I live close to Global I would prefer to deal with them even though they have a well earned reputation for being hard to deal with. I shopped 5 other dealers for a 335 sedan back and forth and arrived at a price matched by all of them. Then I emailed Global and asked if they would match not beat the prices since they were my neighborhood dealer. They not only didnt match but emailed all the other dealers in Atl. that I was dealiing with and told them I was using them to get a price at Global poisoning the negotiated deals with them. DUH! Thats what youre supposed to do on the Internet is shop prices! The really weird thing is that the other dealers had no business ties with them and are their competitors so the only reason for it is vindictiveness. Anytime they come up with some sort of desperation sale email or demo sale they are going to find a way to screw you. They are pretty cold. Anyway I ended up buying an E63 Mercedes (actually really on sale, love it!). By the way, United BMW was very easy to deal with and were VERY professional.Maybe if you guys and girls stay away from Global long enough they will REALLY be desperate and are willing to really deal without all the drama.

Replying to: shiftmake (Jul 17, 2008 10:29 am) I negotiated with the dealer yesterday and this is what I currently have on the table. So this is my current offer (I have it from two different dealerships): 24 month, 12,000 mile-per-year lease $4795.53 Total Drive off (Includes 1st Month, Security Deposits ($4k), and License & Registration) ---> Should go down by $400 (see note on security deposit) $0 Cap Reduction 8 Security Deposits ($4000) ---> should go down to $3600 if I put a little money upfront, since security deposits are rounded up 23 additional payments of $432.13 + tax = $467.78 (8.25%, LA County) 68% Residual ($24,072) .00076 Money Factor $725 Acquisition Fee (Capitalized) --->Down from $825 $45 Doc Fee (Capitalized) Does this seem like a good deal? Also, one of the dealerships said they would reduce the monthly payment by $10/month if I take a graphite color car that has been on the lot for six weeks. Do you think I could get more than that? Thanks for all your help!

Replying to: rangers4me (Jul 18, 2008 4:42 am) The one piece of information that is missing is what is the price of the car that you negotiated. BTW which 3 are you looking at and there is the deal for the cash to dealer incentive for the automatic transmission that you should be negotiating with. Good luck.

Replying to: cjd9997 (Jul 18, 2008 6:46 pm) Dealers are hurting for sales...even Bimmer dealers. My car was originally scheduled to be built in August (ordered June 28) but BMW had manufacturing slots unallocated for July for the convertible so my car went from order to built in just 10 days. I have a BTO 335i convertible due in at the end of the month. It is on the RORO ship Figaro having just left Southampton UK where it made a one day stop (left Bremerhaven, German point of departure, on the 15th) for New York yesterday. I am paying 1.7% over invoice, invoice is $51950 and I am paying $52,830 plus tax, tags but including freight. This has the premium, sport, cold packages, auto tranny, ipod and metallic paint. It also includes the auto tranny incentive which the dealer passed right thru to me and the 3.9% financing. If I can take delivery of the car before 7/31 I get the .9% financing (doubtful as the ship is not due in to NY until 7/26, then it must unload, car goes thru customs, the dealer prep center in NJ and then transported to my dealer here in NoVA by 7/31...that's pushing the schedule). I first went to the dealer saying I had Costco and United Buying Service pricing that i was eligible for, and asking them to beat both...which they did by $300...to get the price as above... So, I think I am getting a pretty good deal overall...I hope BMW extends their .9% financing to August so I can take advantage of that too!  Hope this helps... |
