#41 of 973 NEW X5 by bmwnc Jun 17, 2004 (7:43 pm)
just bought an X5 3.0 this afternoon...has the following.   premium pkg cold wx pkg rear climate pkg premium sound xenons automatic dimming mirrors   MSRP was 50,570...got it at $1000 over invoice at $47,640...thought I did pretty well and the negotiating wasn't that bad. Any thoughts? Really like the panoramic moonroof and got Sterling Grey with Sand Beige leather..that's a new combo the brochures don't even have.

#43 of 973 You did good too by bmwnc Jun 23, 2004 (10:20 am)
compwhiz...sounds like you did very well too. I am loving my X5. It seems like everyday since I picked it up, I am finding new things about it. Certainly the best car I have ever owned. After driving a Chevy pickup for the past 8 yrs this is a great change!
#44 of 973 HELP, What should I pay by costerma Jun 30, 2004 (10:11 am)
Hello all,   I am a BMW lover and am looking at an X5, the sales man handed me a sheet with a $40k sticker price. (Basic Model is what I am interested in). I need help on pricing, not good on haggling? Any suggestions?? Replies to this message: compwhiz (Jul 02, 2004 8:35 pm)

Replying to: costerma (Jun 30, 2004 10:11 am) Knock off between $2500 and $3000.
#46 of 973 2004 X5 3.0 by martini4me Jul 04, 2004 (5:55 am)
Hello: Need opinions on if we're getting scammed...We are negotiating on the above vehicle w/options and dest MSRP of 50970. Dealer agreed to $2400 off the MSRP to bring price to $48570. He took our credit card # for a $1000 down payment, but has not yet charged the card. We want specific color combos and he said that he located the vehicle (coming off the mfr line) and could get it at the agreed upon price. We agree on pricing, date, etc and are looking forward to getting the vehicle next week. THEN, the salesman calls back yesterday (one day after deal made) and said that the vehicle was "released" from BMW mfr and is now on a truck to another dealer. He said that NOW they will have to pay $500 to a flat-bed trucking company to transport the vehicle from NJ to VA. He says we would have to pay extra $500. Meanwhile, he is unable to explain to us what the $695 dest fee includes and why we would have to pay extra. We are prepared to pay cash for a vehicle and this is the 3rd dealer we've talked to...the others were slow to respond for requests...unless we wanted to purchase off the lot. This is a "dream vehicle" and will be kept for 8 to 10 years. We want a certain exterior and interior color combo that is not currently on the lot of these 3 dealers. When we bought a 325Ci last year, the VA dealer had to get from another dealer in NJ, but didn't try to charge extra fees. Is the extra $500 pure dealer profit? It gives me a bad taste in my mouth! Thanks for your input! Replies to this message: mynextcar (Jul 04, 2004 7:44 pm)

Replying to: martini4me (Jul 04, 2004 5:55 am) It depends on the relationship between the dealers in NJ and VA and how desperate the dealer wants to sell the car. I bought my E class about the same time two years ago and my dealer (also in VA) had to transport my car from a dealer in NJ. Since the new year models were coming and the NJ dealer was their sister dealer, my dealer paid the transportation fee out of their expense. The destination fee is from the manufacture to the first dealer, in your case it's to the NJ dealer. My cousin had to choose one from the dealder's lot since his dealer would charge him the transportation fee, so I think it is common that dealers ask this. If you have time, I would suggest you wait a little longer as dealer would most likely do whatever it takes to move the '04 model out as '05 models are arriving. I remember there was $3000 - $3500 rebate on X5 last fall for '03 model. Hope this help.
#48 of 973 Tell the dealer to eat it or beat it by compwhiz Jul 06, 2004 (2:30 pm)
Besides my own experience($3200 off MSRP on a lower-priced vehicle), there're plenty of other people who purchased X5 at similar savings. Considering that your dealer only gave you $2400 off MSRP to begin with, it's not unreasonable to ask him to eat the $500 cost of transporting the car to the dealership. Get your contract void and find another dealer who will do the deal(and possibly get you more than $2400 off MSRP).

Replying to: compwhiz (Jun 22, 2004 8:19 am) Wow, that's a great deal you got compwhiz. I am planning to buy X5 3.0 myself but I have to wait another couple of months. Looks like there are some incentives from BMW to dealers that everyone seems to be getting a good price on X5s. BTW, could you share your dealer's info?   thanks Replies to this message: compwhiz (Jul 12, 2004 10:48 am) h2fan (Jul 15, 2004 9:50 am) compwhiz (Jul 23, 2004 6:30 am) and 2 more... hankypanky (Aug 02, 2004 12:32 pm)
