I would definitely go with an 09 if your only choice is an 08 demo or loaner. Dealer cars get used and abused during test drives and loans and although a few thousand miles might not be a lot in the life of the car, you are purchasing a luxury SUV and should not settle for a second hand car at close to new prices.
 
You can go on edmunds and look up the invoice of the car. Having just purchased and researched myself, you can get $1000-3000 below invoice on a new 08 which includes the premium package credit. On an 09 you are looking at close to invoice to $2000 above invoice.
 
If you can get a new 08, I would do that, there really isn't anything different on the 09 unless you get the Diesel or wait for the new I-drive in March.

Hi,
 
I just went to the dealership today for an 09 X5 3.0 in upstate NY
With the premium pkg, cold weather pkg, rear climate pkg, technology pkg,
comfort access, 3rd row seat, running boards and ipod adaptor,
MSRP was 59,275 and I was offered 56,465 and the guy told me that
it is "about" 1,200 over the invoice.
 
Does it sound good to you guys?
I have no trade-ins by the way.
Thanks

Had a similar quote, $1225 over invoice from Keeler. Which dealer quoted this in upstate NY? Of course I have no problem as long as both us have made a reasonable deal in this ecomony.
If it is the same dealer, may have to check on a couple others to know. We may wait until 2009 to see what happens as a result of the ecomony before we buy. Prices should only go down.

Mine was from Orange County BMW, and from edmunds.com, the invoice is
54,485 for mine, which means that the price they gave me was 2k over the invoice.
And because the economy's bad, I have a fear that I might get ripped off, so I'm going to try Prestige like today or tomorrow, and I'll let you know what happens.

I would ask the dealer how he came up with $1200 vs $1980 from Edmunds. I would expect that Edmunds uses the correct pricing data. If the dealers are honest to explain then ok, if they made a mistake, ok...but if they are just confusing you with incorrect information, I'd speak to the manager. Let me know how it goes. I also make sure the price they give you includes the destination charge so there is not confusion for that line item when they tally everything up.

Yes, the price definately had the destination charge included, because the MSRP page that we've been looking at was the bmwusa.com's build your own thing.
Also, the guy who came out to talk to me I think was the manager, and I did have an impression that they were being dishonest with me, that's why I'm planning to talk to some other dealer. I mean, I'm going to be financing, and 1k wouldn't make a huge difference in monthly payments, but I do not want to buy a car with a feeling of getting ripped off especially around this time...
And for the difference in invoice price, maybe there is an advertising fee in it? I really don't know..

Yes check around, I am sure all the sales people are hungry. (wanted to see a 2008 that Ralley BMW quoted a price on, but wasn't at his lot...he wouldn't allow us to go see it unless we put down a deposit...that's not the quality of BMW salespeople I want to deal with. You may want to e-mail Keeler in Albany and tell them you are interested in a new vehicle at $1000 over invoice and ask if they are interested to look at that with you. Bet they will. Send them the MSRP and Invoice price on the vehicle options you want as provided by Edmunds and see what they say. My second price was $1225 over invoice whether I had a trade or not. Have dealt with this dealer before and have only good things to say so far..
