Replying to: akende1 (Aug 22, 2006 10:04 am) Not sure what you mean by dealer fees? MACO is for advertising and profit is profit. Why would anyone pay for anything else? Just treat dealer fees & prep. fees as profit. Who really care what those fees are. I simply ask for selling price plus tax, license and doc fees. Just as long as you know the invoice price, then negotiate from that point. For me, I sent out a few e-mails for quotes and from the help of some very nice people on this forum, I was able to finalize my deal with a follow-up phone call to match or beat the lowest price from the closest dealer to me. That was the best and easiest buying experience I ever had and I get to order my vehicle. Can't ask for much more. Good Luck to you. |

There are some very knowledgeable people here so I thought you may be able to help me with my decision. I bought a Range Rover Supercharged Sport after reading that forum and it really helped. Once I add up all the options on a 550… I get to over 70k… I figure I can get a slightly used 06 M5 for mid to low 80k. ..say with 5k miles. Thoughts?

Of course, if you have $85K to spend, and really want an M5 instead of a 550i.. then, sure... a much better deal..... go get it now..

Hello All, Thanks for all the help/input provided; I am near the end of my journey of becoming a BMW 5-series owner. I just have one last question: Are dealer document fees negoitiable? If so, what is reasonable? It seems that every dealer has its own cost for document fees. Low_ball_88, thanks for your feedback, it has helped tremendously.  Thanks, Akende1 |

Hi All, I found an '02 540 with 20K miles. The dealer (non-BMW) obtained it as a lease return, and is asking $33K. My main concern is that it is not CPO, and has no factory warranty. He offered to sell a 3yr/100k extended warranty for $2.4K. What can I do to mitigate my risks in this deal? How can I tell if these were 'hard' miles... On the other end of the mileage spectrum, I found an '02 540 with 52K miles from a BMW dealer, and this one is CPO, which adds 2 years to the already expired factory warranty. This one can be had for $27.5K Which of these 2 should I focus on? Thanks. |
