#2435 of 3500 Re: Cost of 6 Disc Changer [akende1] by hihomike Sep 06, 2006 (4:27 pm)
Replying to: akende1 (Aug 24, 2006 9:57 am) I read with interest you comment about the 6-disc CD changer no longer available with the premium sound system. I ordered by 07 530 with premium sound, and it did come with the 6-disc CD changer. Is this something new that they have changed?   Thanks for your prompt response Replies to this message: akende1 (Sep 06, 2006 9:50 pm)

Replying to: hihomike (Sep 06, 2006 4:27 pm) Yes, it is new for BMW. They no longer offer the premium sound package (1800MSRP) that included the logic 7 and the 6 disc changer. Now they offer the Logic 7 package (1200MSRP) that does not include the 6 disc changer. What it does offer is a interface(cradle inside of glove box) that allows you to connect an IPOD to the audio system or the dealer can later install the 6 disc changer at particular cost. I believe this change occurred around July or August.
#2437 of 3500 Sales tax credit on new puchase by fm1 Sep 17, 2006 (12:19 pm)
Hi guys,   Towards the end of last year, BMW offered sales tax credit to new buyers. Depending on the state, one could save 6.25% without any negociation. Does anyone knows if this program will be offered this year? I have forgot the months, I would appreciate if someone can tell what month they ran this promotion. Thanks.   fm

Hi, What a great board. Great comments. From what I've read, it sounds like I've got a good "sale price" but not a good lease rate.

Replying to: jimboinla (Sep 17, 2006 5:45 pm) Are you sure that the sale price is $800 over invoice? It seems like the sales price includes a $400 MACO. You are actually paying $1,200 over invoice. Please correct me if I am wrong.   Also, I think you should ask this question on the lease forum since the host there recently say that you should pay $0 at drive off. Go to that forum and check it out. Replies to this message: jimboinla (Sep 18, 2006 4:45 pm)

Replying to: low_ball_88 (Sep 18, 2006 10:03 am) You are very right - or close..... the $53,885 includes: $380 MACO, $45 Opt TTL, $180 Training - not sure who's getting training......
#2441 of 3500 Frustrated in Sacramento by mbarnes73 Sep 21, 2006 (1:07 pm)
Until now, my BMW buying experience had been perfect. I purchased my 2003 BMW in San Diego at Harloff BMW.. They were above board and can not say enough great things about my experience. I never once felt like i was getting a bad deal. Now i am looking to sell my 2003 and purchase/possibly lease a 2007 5 series. In my 2 trips to my sacramento area bmw dealer, i feel like i am getting ripped off. I am finding that sacramento just doenst have the competition, the inventory and treats their customers poorly. The dealership i went to had 1 of each 5 series on the lot, and that was it!!!So they were really pushing the ones on the lot, even if it wasnt exactly what you wanted. Then to make matters worse, they wouldnt negotiate off of the invoice only off of msrp... which was like pulling teeth. Also, they wouldnt negotiate until they new if i was going to go lease or purchase. This shouldnt matter, and didnt with my 2003. I hate the game of 'how much do you want to spend each month'... it doesnt matter-- what is the bottom line on the offer and that should be it. My question is-- should i just give up on sacramento bmw dealers and go back to sd? has anyone had a good experience just doing the negotiation and purchase via the internet. I would really like to get my 530xi but i am soo frustrated with my preview of dealers out here... i w ould love some insight/guidance on my next best steps to getting my car i want and not feeling like ive been 'raped'.

#2442 of 3500 Offer on a 2006 530xi wagon? by jobie Sep 22, 2006 (6:05 am)
I could use some help - a dealer has a 2006 5-series wagon demo with 5K miles (driven by dealership owner for a few months); MSRP was about $56K, invoice about $52K; salesman said they want to move it..."make an offer". I was not really in the market for the wagon, but it is pretty cool in person; I haven't driven it yet, so I don't know how it compares to the sedan. Any educated opinions on how low I could go? Thanks

Replying to: mbarnes73 (Sep 21, 2006 1:07 pm) I know exactly what you mean. Been through that frustration before at the dealerships you mentioned. Buy yours in the Bay Area and you will find that they will cut you a deal that you would not believe. When you are the only game in town, why deal. That is their mentality. They have gotten the town thinking that you have to pay msrp or forget about it. Go internet sales and only go into the dealership when you want to test drive. I have found that you will get a better deal if you order a vehicle versus buying one on the lot. Good luck!
