I have been busy all day and could get to talk with you guys/gals! How many dealers have you contacted? How far away? Your combination may be harder to find and thus the dealer may bust your chops on the price. I had adealer in West Springfield, MA & a dealer in RI that were very competitive. Check the web sites (if they have one) for a search of their inventories. Of course, these are not always up to date. The BEST way is to fax them. At least 10 to 15. IF you could save $2000 to $3000 more dollars, how far will drive?

Horrible buying experience at BMW of Arlington, Virginia by kseshadr

Agreed on purchasing a BMW 530iA with Prem/Xenon at 39,100 /tax/tags extra in the morning. Went to pick up prepped car at night.
 
At time of final purchase, a $225 dealer processing fee was added on. I had agreed with salesman that $39,100 was final price, and stood up from financing desk to go talk to salesman again to clarify. Meantime, the asst. sales manager walks in and says she can't remove that fee. I said I needed to talk to the salesman whereupon she says "Let me show you out the door!" I was absolutely stunned that I was buying a BMW and I was getting this treatment...!
I insisted I wait for the salesman and proceeded to ignore her. The salesman finally came in from outside and looked helpless. Finally the sales manager said she'd meet me half-way - I said I'd pay $75 only. They redid the paperwork but at that point I had such an unpleasant feeling that I chose to walk out the door.
 
I felt bad for the sales guy who was great, but really angry that this woman would treat a customer with such disdain.
 
Any lawyers smell a case in this one?
 
My advice - don't go there!!!

CPO 2002 530iA by need4speed1

I've located a saphire black 2002 530i, w/ Step, SP, PP, and DSP. The car is CPO, with 24,201 miles. The dealer was originally asking $39,900, but is now offering $37,821. Is this a good deal? I'm hoping I can make a deal at $36,300.
 
Are there still incentives on 2003 models? I've people on here got very good deals on them.

Price off MSRP vs Price off INVOICE by designman
Aug 15, 2003 (10:39 am)
Reply
Hoopsref, it seems to me that comparing price below MSRP vs price below INVOICE is 6 of one, 1/2 dozen of another. It's just a different reference point. What with all the dealer incentives, the term INVOICE is specious and misleading anyway. I agree, it is good to show the dealer you are wise to all of the terminology and price structure, but price below MSRP indeed tells the story when we compare.
