Replying to: emedway (Nov 05, 2008 7:42 pm) After rounds of back and forth with several dealers, I got the following quote on a 08 528Xi with cold weather and premium. base invoice: 43055 Cold; 685 Premium: free Destination: 825 Total invoice: 44565 Dealer quote: $45500 (935 above invoice), plus 225 doc, 175 title, + sales tax. Also, I looked at a 2009 535 Xi base invoice: 48760 Cold; 750 Premium: 2200 Destination: 825 Total invoice: 52535 Dealer quote: 52800, plus $600 mac, $400 doc, $175 title + sales tax This is roughly $1040 above invoice (265 on car + 600 mac + 175 higher doc fee), while the 2008 528Xi is 935 above invoice with free premium. So effectively, two quotes on 08 528Xi and 09535Xi are similar priced to their invoice prices. Of course 2009 535Xi costs 6500 more. I am leaning toward the 2009 535Xi given that both 08 and 09 have 0.9% financing right now, as the latest model should be worth more than the free premium package for 2008 models. Comments?

With no negotiation (other than demonstrating that I knew about free Premium Pkg and invoice costs for everything else), this was their offer: 2008 528i, no options except Premium Pkg: Base MSRP 44,600 Premium Pkg 2,400 Destination 825 Total MSRP 47825 Base Invoice 41,030 Premium Pkg 2,185 Destination 825 Total Invoice 44,040 Offer to sell at 43,435, or $605 below invoice. Seemed like a decent price that could be improved, but there's one problem: There is no way my wife will drive this car (though it would be mine, primarily). I can't believe how unintuitive all the switchgear is vs. my 2001 530i which I'd be trading. (I was even ready to cope with the 2008 version of I-Drive, since most controls are back on the dash.) I must be getting old... oh, well. |

Replying to: jayrider (Nov 09, 2008 7:11 am) It's scary because this is the first time in my life that I actually felt "old & crotchety" about something (as far as I know, of course). I'm going to try the similarly-sized (but of course not comparable) Acrua, Lexus, and Infiniti models as well. It kills me to not get another 5-series because I LOVE my '01 530i (with sport/premium and a 5-speed). We got it via Euro delivery and of course it was beyond fun tearing up the autobahns in that thing. Oh well, phases of life, I guess...
