#2212 of 3499 Re: Price for 2006 525xi [bsquared02] by rainmaker2 Jan 03, 2006 (4:33 pm)
Replying to: bsquared02 (Jan 02, 2006 8:29 am) The MACO is $425, at least in California. Training fee is $180. I'm not sure what exactly a training fee is, but it seems to make up for the discrepancy between the dealer base invoice and the Edmunds base invoice. In other words, the Edmunds invoice I believe already has this $180 incorporated into its number. When you get to the dealer, their base invoice will be $180 less than what you see on Edmunds.   Adding the $425 to your number, you would arrive at $46,120. So your offer was $80 over invoice. That would be a total deal, especially on a 2006! I could see a dealer making that kind of a deal on a 2005 to move it off the lot, but not really for an in-demand 2006 model. I think $900-1000 over invoice is probably more realistic.
#2213 of 3499 Questions before first BMW purchase (dishonest dealer?) by rbc3az Jan 13, 2006 (11:04 pm)
Hello All,   I am considering purchasing a pre owned 2004 530i from a european car (not just BMWs) dealer. The car exterior is black with chrome trim around the windows. The interior has black leather(ette?) and titanium trim. The dealer specs list the car as having both the Premium and Sport packages. From my research, I've learned that the 2004 Premium package includes leather, maple wood trim and universal garage door opener. However, I could not find the usual garage door opener buttons and it definitely does not have maple wood trim. In addition, the Sport Package is supposed to include run flat tires. The car however, has a spare in the trunk. Is this normal for a car with run flats? Could the dealer be misrepresenting the car? Is there an easy way for me to verify that the car truly does have the Premium and Sport packages?   Finally, the dealer has the car listed for a little less than 39k and it has about 11500 miles on it. Is this a good deal for a 2004 530i? Even if it didn't have the Premium and Sport packages? What would be a fair price I should negotiate for?   Thanks a lot for your help.

Replying to: rbc3az (Jan 13, 2006 11:04 pm) You can get a true market value (TMV) on edmunds.com. Once you have that information, you can decide what you want to pay and make an offer. Based on what my dealer is selling 04 530s for, I think your dealer's price is reasonable, even without knowing what's on the car.   Speaking of which, you can find out what came on the car by the VIN. See whether you can get the dealer to run the #. If he won't, maybe you can get him to give you the # so you can do your own check. If he won't cooperate at all, run like hell (and find another dealer).

Also, the SP has seven-spoke 18x8.0 wheels with 245/40R-18 run-flats vs. five-spoke 17x7.5 wheels with 225/50R-17 all-season (non-RF) for the non-SP.   The lack of wood trim and universal garage door opener also indicates NO Premium Package.   You might want to copy the VIN and have the local BMW dealer check the database.   For pricing, check Edmund's TMV as already indicated.   Martin

#2219 of 3499 bmw 2006 525xi by dadmommikemad Jan 22, 2006 (9:33 am)
I'm looking to purchase this 2006 525xi immediately or as soon as i could find the deal im looking for.   I've been fortunate/lucky in the past receiving the deals i've wanted by calling many dealers by phone. Local dealers never seem to cut the best deal.   I want to purchase this vehicle with vehicle with $9,425 in options. With base price, options, and delivery the car comes to $54,820 (list).   If somebody can lead me to a dealer to purchase $1,000 over the invoice of $51,180, i'm "good to go."   Thanks
#2220 of 3499 To: Isispel by dadmommikemad Jan 22, 2006 (9:37 am)
That deal appears to be "quite" good. Your within hundreds of dollars from being a "great" deal. Post the dealers name, city and state. Im looking for a "real" similar deal. Thanks.

Replying to: isispel (Jan 21, 2006 7:57 pm) Did u read the car sheet attached to the window? It appears the car should retail $51,620 with the options u've described. The invoice appears to be $47,265. The deal is better than g"ood," its "great." Are u sure that is leather and not leatherette? I left u another message prior to looking up the figures. Let me know the dealer. Im looking for the same vehicle with slightly different equipment. Thanks Replies to this message: isispel (Jan 23, 2006 7:39 am) dadmommikemad (Jan 23, 2006 6:36 pm)
