Replying to: jicbulk (Mar 16, 2009 12:42 pm) Great deal!   Curious to know where you live and what the sales tax rate was since you mentioned the price was OTD.   Enjoy the car.   Thanks, Ryan Replies to this message: jicbulk (Mar 17, 2009 11:46 am) sjsharkie (Mar 17, 2009 12:59 pm)

Replying to: iaymnu (Mar 16, 2009 11:58 am) That sounds really high to me - at least 4 to 5K over what it should be, especially now. I'm assuming OTD means just that and includes tax, which you can't escape, but that it also includes some fees that are just bogus means of bringing in more to the dealership. Have you sought other offers, including via the Internet? As anxious as you are to get the car, these guys are at least as anxious to sell. Good luck.   -jaj Replies to this message: iaymnu (Mar 16, 2009 7:36 pm) blueguydotcom (Mar 16, 2009 8:41 pm) iaymnu (Mar 16, 2009 10:16 pm) jaj (Mar 16, 2009 9:54 pm)

Replying to: kyfdx (Mar 15, 2009 5:24 am) I have a deal right now at $200 over invoice but working to get invoice which i should get soon. My question is do i have to pay Training/service fee which is $180 & do i have to pay Maco which is $250 and appearance package is $189 & Electronic fee is $25. Thanks for your help on this.

Replying to: jaj (Mar 16, 2009 5:49 pm) That is what I exactly feel. I am looking into other dealers in the NYC area, but we went here first because it is 2 miles from our home. I am anxious to get the car, but not when I don't feel comfortable.   Edmunds TMV suggested ~41k for the model (328xi AT,PP Cold weather NAV) in my area. So should my tactic be offering price between the MSRP and TMV? (i know the prices are before tax and other fees).   It is very discouraging having the dealer confidently saying they gave me a "discount" when it clearly seems a bit over.

Replying to: roadburner (Mar 16, 2009 3:26 pm) If you buy a CPO 2008 you will save at least $10,000-$15,000 AND you will have a better warranty. And you could have a 335i instead of a 328i...   I bought a 2007 335i sport, navi - saved about 18-19k from the vehicle's MSRP (got it for 26.5k including BMWCCA rebate). I couldn't find a 328i manual with sport for 22k-23k otherwise I would have gone for that.

(i know the prices are before tax and other fees).   1: Internet only - do not go to a lot until the deal is ready   2: Internet only - sorry had to repeat it. Going on the lot is a waste.   3: Invoice minus any trunk money. If you have a BMWFS lease or loan, you've got a couple grand waiting for you. If you do not, then invoice. That's it. Invoice + maybe $100-400 (depending on how generous you feel).   4: No mention of a trade-in   5: Negotiate price AND check extra fees. Some scummy dealers tack on extras.   6. Be prepared to walk away. They NEED you. You do not need them.   I did my last 2 BMWs and Mini via phone/internet. On my last BMW we showed up with the deal ready (they even had my info as I was that sure); drove the car; signed the papers; left the dealership in under 1 hour.   Salespeople are a waste of your time. Internet. TMV is a joke - aim much lower as TMV reflects what the average boob pays. Replies to this message: iaymnu (Mar 16, 2009 10:16 pm)

Replying to: iaymnu (Mar 16, 2009 7:36 pm) Blueguy's advice is very sound. Keep in mind, too, that no matter who you purchase the vehicle from, you can still get it serviced at the dealership two miles from your home. And they'll be happy to have your business. Let us know how you make out.   -jaj

Replying to: nyccarguy (Mar 16, 2009 4:42 pm) It was at a Honda dealership and they had it online for $23,800 and I had several phone conversations with a Sales Manager. When I went in the Sales Guy puts me through the ringer with forms, etc. , then we drive the car, then he goes to his Mgrs and comes at me with a figure of $29+. I'm like, "Um, No." and showed him the internet ad. He goes away and comes back with stuff like "Well, the car was mispriced, but they'll honor it if you really want it..." and then talked about how internet shoppers get better pricing than the people who walk on to the lot...? Anyway, 2 or 3 rounds later and we sealed the deal.
