    Cold Weather Package
    Premium Package
    Ipod & Usb Adaptor
    Roof Rails
    Self-Leveling Suspension

Is this a good deal or should we be doing better? We are comparing to the Mercedes ML350 Bluetec and Lexus RX450h. Thanks for the help.

#1912 of 2444 Dealer Holdback Question by kenkid

Jun 20, 2011 (6:27 pm)

I have negotiated a deal on '11 X5d for $500 over dealer invoice (including the $3,500 eco credit) which normally I'd be very pleased with. However, I know from several sources that the dealer will also earn a $1,600 +/- dealer holdback credit bringing their net profit up to $2,000+, well above what they should earn on any car. But several buying web sites suggest that dealers will not share in this credit and that it's off the table. Is this true or should I push harder?

BMW doesn't have dealer holdback...
 
They do have customer service bonuses, etc.., but, it's doubtful you can deal on any of that money.. $500 over invoice, minus the $3500 Eco-credit is a pretty good price, IMO....

Hello - I was curious of what you thought of my deal two posts up? (1911)
 
In your most recent post are you saying a good deal would be close to invoice, and the $3500 Eco credit, which would make it much less than invoice?

Thanks - truecar.com shows that I am getting the car at $3000 off invoice. So, guess is a good deal. Appreciate the help!

Looking at a 2007 X5, 4.5. Hoping to come to terms, and buy soon. Will be replacing a 2004 MDX. Was very impressed with a test drive today. Already own 2 other BMWs, so have expectations about reliability, quality, etc.
 
Any issues specific to this model that I should know?

#1920 of 2444 2012 35i Premium Invoice Price by westonma

Jun 30, 2011 (7:26 am)

Platinum Grey Metalic
Tobacco Nevada Leather
added Convenience Package
added 3rd Row Seat 4UB
added running board
 
MSRP $61,925
Sale price $58,400
 
Negotiated price for $500 above invoice price. Read from truecar website the factory invoice should be $57,180, breakdown as base car $50,415, option $5,690, local ad $200, destination $875.
 
The dealer showed invoice price $57,900. Charge more than $300 for floor mat and detailing. Is it true that floor mat and detailing charged additionally? Is it a good deal if we go with their invoice price?
 
Thanks
Westonma
