Think down the road when the maintenence service is on your credit card and the warranty is over. To quote a moderator of the bmw forums " Have you ever seen the service bill for a euro import"? Keep that in mind.
Since they brought the car for you to see they probably assessed you as being VERY interested and will play you a bit hoping that you will want to close the deal on their terms. They may be willing to wait a month or so figuring this price will appeal to some one else if you don't bite. They may give you a day or two to stew and then give in a little and see if you buy.
If you have 30K cash to buy then I wouldn't be afraid to wait until you find a car that meets your needs better and make a take it or leave it offer. By Jan/Feb the prices will not be any higher for used 4.8's and may be lower. This one may still on the lot and you can offer 28k for it. Good deals are usually reserved for those who project knowledge, patience and little emotion. My 09 murano awd with lots of extras listed for 34k and I bought it for 29k. It's certainly not a X5 but is nice and will cost me nothing for three years. Free oil changes. Look around and see if there is anything else out there that might make you happy. One thing for sure , with the economy and the auto industry tanking it's a buyers market unless you let them dictate the terms of the negotiation. Be patient and cold hearted until you close the deal. Remember you have the cash and are willing to spend it but only if the deal is right. You have some doubts about this one [mileage] so they have to resolve your objections by sweetening the deal.

None of the dealers have the right vehicle for me (none has the 20" wheels with light color exterior), so I paid $400 for Peter Pan to truck me the car from somewhere in LA.

From Peter Pan BMW in San Mateo. That's no BS and pretty much get the deal right away. It must be the end-of-month deal + bad economy.

I'm still hoping to get feedback on prices paid for a X5 3.0 if anyone has them? Also, can I expect 2008s to remain on the lot through January? I'm trying to get the best deal and can wait to pull the tigger if it's worth it. Thx.

I bought mine a couple of months back for about 3K below invoice. It is almost fully loaded with Prem., Sport, Tech., Rear Climate, Cold Weather, 3rd Row, Running Boards with the .9% financing. I heard from my CA that business is better this month than last, so might be fewer deals out there. I would not wait too long, the longer you wait the less chances of getting all the features you want. My main req. were Sport and 3rd Row but had to get the others 'cause there were none on the lot with that combo.
 
Good Luck

What's reasonable for 2009 X-5 by laaky

I am new to the forum and looking to purchase a 2009 X-5 4.8i. Have been looking on the BMW site for the options/packages that I would opt for. Would like some advice on negotiating from the MRSP. What is a reasonable reduction? Features I want to have are:
Sport Pkg, Premium Pkg, Rear Climate Pkg, with additionaly the heated front seats, running boards and BMW assist ( not too interested in getting much more expensive than this) MSRP from the BMW site is $64,225. (I think I will have to order a new one since it may be too hard to find the options I want...does this mean I will not get as good a deal as if I buy one on the lot or doesn't it matter)
I want to trade in or sell the 2003 4.4i (any buyers out there?) Blk w/black interior with 53,000 miles and I hope if I trade in I can negotiate at least 18K+ for it. ...dealer in upstate NY said $15K is what the auction is buying at...but with the options it has, it rings up more on the appraisal. Still has an extended maintenace warranty for 6 more months which I hope has some value). Has the sport package and in great shape, we just want to trade up to a newer car. Didn't know much about car negotiation when we bought so would like to get some experience from you all). Anyway, looks like I have the complication of trade-in value and negotiating on a new order...how should I approach this?
Thanks.

If you did not forget anything. I see the dealer made around 2300$ profit. If this is the case. you could have brought him down another 1300$

Can you explain? I ran the vehicle options and came up with just over invoice. How do you figure the dealer profit? I have an offer for a 2008 X-5 4.8i (wht w/blk interior) loaded with sport pkg, tech pkg, prem pkg., rear climate, cold weather, running brds, 3rd row, satellite radio, and Ipod adapter. MSRP of $68,070 for $63,525 which is $960 over invoice of $62565. What do you think it could be negotiated for so everyone is happy. (I do know the premium pkg was being given as a free option on the build you own just last month). I know that now I believe only the 2009's are custom orderable. I also have an offer of $3525 below MSRP for a 2009 X-5 4.8i, invoice of 59,075. Sounds quite good based upon Edmunds TMV pricing which is coming up with only $500 below MSRP..... Not sure what to make of the market in these economic times.
