That could change when I see one in person, but I'm not turned off by it. As a single person I don't see myself ever buying a 'crossover', though. If I wanted a truck, I'd buy a truck. If I wanted a car, I'd buy a car. If I had kids, and I needed something that I could take to the golf course as well as soccer games, I'd take a look at the X6.

Replying to: bdkinnh (Nov 29, 2007 10:39 am) right now I am emailing all dealers within 50 miles asking for best prices. Lastly, anyone drive both 535i and 528i and just shake their head? Looks like I can save $100/month leasing a 528i but havent driven it yet...only 535i. |

one of my local dealers seems to be taking the strategy to offer me Invoice+2% on 528i or 535i. So if a 528i msrp is $51,270 and invoice is $47650, they offer $48603 ($953 over invoice). 535i would be msrp of $56,670, invoice of $52,771, they offer $53826 ($1055 over invoice) Are these good prices? these deals give me these leases payments using the november rates posted 535i, 36 month at $754, 24 month at $760. 10k miles 528i, 36 month at $679, 24 month at $640. 10k miles. What is unsure is the out of pocket. they mandate a $399 doc fee (pretty much standard here in ATL). I assume security deposit+first month. I am unsure about the ACQ fee...I normally see them squeeze that into the lease cap cost, but I would push to eliminate it basically. |

Replying to: smithsonga (Nov 30, 2007 7:29 am) I picked up a 2008 535i for my wife for $55,900; MSRP was $60,045 and Invoice was $55,210 with the following options: ZPP Premium Pkg ZSP Sport Pkg 416 Sun Shade, Power Rear, Manual sides 322 Comfort Access, Keyless Start & Entry 609 Navigation System, Voice Activated 6FL Radio Equipment, iPod & USB Connector 655 Radio Equipment, Sirius Feature 494 Seats, Heated Front I negotiated between 2 dealers and it took about a week... but it was done all by email. I spent less than 1.5hrs at the dealership taking care of the paperwork and doing the show/tell of features. The most painless car buying experience I've ever had! |

Replying to: spxtwo (Nov 30, 2007 10:11 am) I will be working on a similar deal this week with....at least 5 dealers. Right now I am trying to verify true invoice price. I have 4 sources, and 4 different #s. The dealership, kelley bb, cars.com and carsdirect.com. about $800 difference.......

Replying to: nyccarguy (Dec 02, 2007 6:29 pm) Acquistion fee (for leases). I am told it is a minimum of $625...charged by BMWFS. Some dealers mark up to $825. Can this be negotiated to ZERO? Doc fee. Most local ATL BMW dealers make this $399. I have seen $499 and $299. I would think this could be zero also. I believe some of the invoice pricing differences could be the MACO and Training fees. I am researching that. thx

Replying to: smithsonga (Dec 02, 2007 6:47 pm) DOC fees are a complete sham. It os just a way of them getting money out of your pocket. There is actually a law in NY that caps DOC fees to $45. MACO & Training fees are legitimate charges added to the INVOICE (not the MSRP) of all BMWs. MACO is an advertising fee ($300) & the Training fee is $180.

Replying to: nyccarguy (Dec 02, 2007 9:16 pm) MSRP $52045 528i Auto, Premium, Sport, Xenon, Sirius, Rear seat fold-down Invoice $48285 Deal price: $48825 or 1.1% over invoice. (This invoice includes his maco and training fees, KBB invoice is shown as $410 less than that) I ended up getting 4 dealers close to this price. All were bidding on a car that was not at any of their dealerships, so they did have to pay transportation in addition to above. However, the dealer that won did it a bit sneaky. They initiated the dealer transfer without me approving their deal...thus the dealer I did say GO to, could not get the car. I made them beat that dealer's price, or I was walking from that car. |
