Replying to: bmwdoug (Dec 11, 2005 11:04 am) first of all, I am not a car saleman and rarely side with them. But I think if you are dealing with a genuine BMW dealer this is OK. I put $1000 deposit back in 2000 for an X5 and after 6weeks had to cancel due to wide spread problems on aux fan overheating. The dealer gave my money back. I had to go to a different dealer when buying my 2002 X5 though  If I were you just put it on Amex credit card and give the dealer 2 weeks to work on the trade. Then if they try to pull a fast one on you, just call Amex to dispute the charge. Amex takes care the dispute, you don't even have to contact the dealer Amex will. Off course only if the price on the car is too good to pass up. I really think the salesman just want to lock you in, to make sure you are not just wondering if you can get the car for that price.

Replying to: hpia4v2 (Dec 22, 2005 10:17 am) All it takes is for a Dealer to do a couple of key strokes on the computer, locate the car, then see if he/she can get the car from that Dealer. If that is too much for a Dealer to do, then that says something about the Dealer. Well, the good news I found a Dealer who said, let me locate the car, then let me see if the Dealer will trade the car, then if the Dealer trades the car, I will call you for a deposit. I said, "sounds great". Unfortunately, the other Dealer would not Trade. But, this Dealer told me a Dealer should never ask for a Deposit unless he/she can guarantee delivery.

Need some advice on the following deal. 2006 530i RWD MSRP 52820 (premium pkg, cold weather pkg, nav) in So Cal SALE PRICE: 50400 $2500 drive off $660/month for 23 months (includes sales) 12k miles/yr Judge from other post, I think it is still slightly too high. Anyone think there is room for them to come down another $1000 off sale price? Thanks for any advice.

Replying to: djm5 (Dec 22, 2005 9:09 pm)  ) but edmunds has a tmv of $27,438 for a certified 02 525it with 42k miles, auto, leather, heated seats, moonroof, garage opener, and wood trim, in clean condition. For outstanding condition, add another grand. What do you want to pay? Make them an offer; they'll tell you if it's too low. |

Replying to: tayl0rd (Dec 30, 2005 5:50 am) I know this topic has been beaten to death on these boards, but what does paying cash have anything to do to it?

Replying to: bdr127 (Dec 30, 2005 6:39 am) When you go in with cash, you have all the power. The dealer wants to emancipate your cash from you and will do whatever it takes to make that happen. When financing is involved, there's the risk of you not even being approved and the dealer has to share profits with the bank. A cash sale means the dealer takes it all, which means less markup needed for them to turn a fat profit. Hope that makes sense because it seems like I was rambling.
