that dealer didn't lie to you. Invoice price list on Edmunds doesn't include Training and MACO fee since MACO is location related.

Anyone buy a car from BMW of Tenafly ?? It use to be Difeo BMW but looks like it's been re-named and part of Penske Automotive Group.
 
If so, how was your experience ?? Was it legit or a bait-and-switch type of shop ??

Hi,
I live in Los Angeles, and I'm looking for a 2008 328i sedan with the following options:
Monaco Blue
Automatic
Premium Package
ipod adapter
xenon lights (maybe)
 
So far i've received quotes of $36370(includes xenon and ipod) which is $445 below invoice but not the color I wanted (bronze platinum) and $35455 (no xenon or ipod) which is $630 below invoice.
 
Are these the best or should I negotiate and which one do you think is a better option?

A reporter from a national newspaper would like to speak with consumers who have been frustrated by some manufacturers’ tendency to place safety related vehicle options into expensive packages. Have you ever wanted to equip a vehicle with specific safety features that required the purchase of an entire package? If so, please respond to jwahledmunds.com with your daytime contact information no later than Friday, December 12.

Hi scotty100,
 
I think you can do better on the selling price, but I need some more information to make an educated decision.
 
Are you paying your sales tax upfront or is it being rolled-into your monthly payment?
Can you please provide a break-down of your $3000 down payment?
 
Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt
 
Ok, so this is where I get a little confused and I admit I should have pressed for more details/clarity when the dealer was throwing out numbers at me. But I admit I was kinda sitting there pondering the performance/handling rather than paying close enough attention to the numbers...
 
From the notes I have scribbled down in front of me I have the "Cost of Purchase" as $2274 which will be in addition to the $3000 down payment I am prepared to make. Regards sales tax...hmm...I believe it is part of the final monthly figure of $485.20...does any of that make sense?! Thanks for helping me understand...I'm completely useless in front of a car salesman for some reason!

Is your total out of pocket $5274?
 
What dealer in CT are you working with. I live in the state as well. Keep in mind that there is a $299 doc fee. I've purchased my last several cars in NY to avoid this among other junk charges.
 
The tax in CT is rolled into the monthly payment, it should be reflected in what you received. However, you really need to clarify.
 
Ask for a complete break down of your costs at inception. Also ask for the invoice price, residual value, money factor, etc.
