good deal by borno

fyi-dealers are selling at invoice, they should be willing to show you actual invoice docs. The holiday cash should be in addition. So, you are not getting a great deal!
Also, 2011 redesign will be out early next year, and since the economy is still down, you should be able to get a good deal if you can wait, although you may not see all wheel drive til the fall.

With the slump in auto sales, we are in a true "buyers" car market. Holding out for what you really want should pay off. Hang in there for a really great deal. You will know the great deal when you see it.
 
On another note, depreciation is a bear right now. Buying a 2008 or 2009 that has already taken the first big hits makes sense. The allure of the "new" 2010 is surely strong, but a 2008 or 2009 with under 25,000 miles will be a huge bargain -- and you are likely to get all the extra features you desire.
 
Just my two cents . . . hope it is helpful.

2010 BMW 528 i xDrive by gmurthy

Hello,
 
I am looking to get a new 2010 BMW 528 i xDrive (Monaco Blue MET) with the following:-
 
 * 4-Way Front Seat Power Lumbar Support
    * Ambiance Lighting
    * Auto-Dimming Exterior Mirrors
    * Auto-Dimming Rearview Mirror
    * Dakota Leather Upholstery
    * High Definition Radio
    * Integrated 3-Button Universal Garage-Door Opener
    * Navigation System
    * Online Information Services
    * Premium Package
    * Real Time Traffic Information
    * Split-Fold Down Lockable Rear Seats
    * Through-Loading System
    * Voice Command System
 
The dealer website (in Massachusetts) lists the price at $52, 250. I am thinking of putting in an offer of $44,000. Since the new model is round the corner, is this a reasonable asking price? Can I go lower?
 
Any insight appreciated.
 
Thanks.

Sounds like a really nice car. IMHO: I would say that starting out at $44k is worth a shot, but I suspect you will have to go higher to make a deal. In my experience, BMW dealers "protect resale values" by not going low on the sales price of new cars. Or, should I just say -- they are going to make a profit (and a good one). I have noticed recently excellent pricing on 2008 and 2009 certified, however, but not on new. Good luck!

Hi gmurthy,
We are looking at a similar car in NJ. Please let me know how your negotiations go. We are thinking of making a similar offer. Good luck. We also wanted to include the extended 2yr maintenance program, but at a much lower price than their quote, which was$2,000. We found out that the average cost of maintenance for the this car is $250/year for the first 4 years. So, we are going to base our offer on these numbers.
Best regards!
