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..

Thanks, but I'm not sure if I want to go that far to buy a car, because I live near Woodbuy Commons. I don't know why salespeople make our lives so much more difficult... Especially the ones from BMW's and such since you would expect more from them. I Think I'm just going to contact Prestige, which is about 30 mins away from my place and tell them what offer I've gotten from OC and see what I would get from there. Last time I got a quote from OC and went to Prestige to see if they could do better, Prestige told me they couldn't beat the price, so I'm guessing OC does offer honest pricings, but hey, who knows unless you work for them.

I do expect more from BMW vs our national car brands, but some salespeople just don't click with you as much as others. In these times, easy to say you have shopped around but would prefer to deal as close to home as possible. Good luck and let me know if you do buy and what deal you got.

'08 X5 Demo-Advice on price-THX! by bmanpc

jayrider sent me here for assitance, specifically jvost...
  
Please help me on a 2008 X5 3.0 lease in upstate NY. It is a holdover DEMO with 2,500 miles. MSRP $55,325, Selling price $49,700 Lease: 36 mo./12k miles
Includes: Premium Pkg, Cold Weather Pkg, 3rd Row, Rear Climate, Rear DVD & Park Distance
Residual is (56%)? & Money X = .00125 (3%)
Monthly payment $699.66; included taxes and zero $ down payment
   
Question 1: is this a good deal or could they come down? they wouldn't budge when I asked for accessories or lower payment. should i just take it at $699 or what is the REAL monthly # I can get this down to? dealer said "No X5 goes below $700 with zero down". Any truth to this?
$2,405 due at signing (inception fees)
$699.66 1st month
$625 bank fee
$225 office fee
$155 plates
$700 security deposit
   
Question 2: can i negotiate any of the fees (bank & office)?
Since the car is a demo I lose my BMW CCA loyalty rebate, and the dealer will still not budge. Dealer in NY said if I don't pull the trigger by Tuesday, he will not honor the offer and has other buyers wanting the car.
Questiion 3: What can I get him to throw in or work with me on? Possible tire waranty since they are run flats?
Please help me, I need to decide in next 48 hours.

End of Lease 05 X5 by socal59

So my lease is ending on 12/4/08 and yesterday I went to a local BMW dealer in Orange County, where I purchased the car. I wanted to see if I could negotiate on the buy out of around $26K. After a bunch of runaround type answers, he told me that it would be the cost of the buyout plus $2500 to certify it (CPO) which make the price of the car around $28K with 48k miles. My question is has anyone had any luck lowering the residual/buyout price?
Had I landed here from Mars yesterday, the way he was acting I would have though that there were 100 people in line waiting to but a used X5, meaning that cars would be just selling like crazy. I think that a selling strategy for them is to just not acknowledge that there is a recession and therefore not showing the customer that we have the upper hand in this market. I may try another dealer to see if I can get the price down, otherwise they'll get stuck with a car with almost 50K miles on it, that in the next year or two will depreciate like mad.

I went to Prestige and they guy told me that the quote from the OC was not 2k over the invoice. The guy didn't tell me what the invoice on it was, but he said he could sell it for 165 less than OC which isn't a huge difference. So the final quote from Prestige is 56000, and I plan to take it to OC and ask if they can match that.
Any news with yours?

Lease Buybacks by nyccarguy

I think BMW is very inflexible when it comes to negotiating lease buy outs. My Dad had an '04 X5 3.0iA with close to 80,000 miles on it when the lease ended. He had bought the extended maintenance (which worked out in our favor because we got the Inspection II and a new set of brake pads from it). I was in the market for a car at the time and wanted to see what the buyout was. The car was in PERFECT shape and had extended maintenance until 100K miles. BMW would NOT negotiate the buyout. I guess they'd rather take a chance at an auction

Bmw does not see that there is recession. It is that simple. Make your offer and tell them to give you a call on Jan 30th if they can find the time . Make sure the person in charge knows you made a reasonable offer and you are walking. Jvost on the 5 series thread got 8-9k under residual to buy his return car. Maybe you are in the wrong showroom in the wrong place.
