X5 2004 X5 3.0 in southern California Pricing by wantanx5

I have decided to purchase a 2004 X5 3.0i with Prem Pkg, Navi, Rear Climate Pkg, Step trans, and Xenon. Located in southern California. MSRP is 50,070. First offer out of the box, no haggling, from dealer was $48,105. Good deal? Also was quoted approx $600 for monthly lease payment, including taxes. Can someone give me some color on this pricing?
 
Also, saw national campaign for lease program. Apparently 2004 X5 3.0i, step trans only (i.e., base model) with MSRP of $42,770 and lease payment, excluding taxes, of $449. Same program offers 2004 X5 4.4i, 19" wheels, Cold Weather Pkg and Sport Pkg with MSRP of $56,095 and lease payment ,excluding taxes of $618. Is there a dealer in southern California that is running these offers? Finally, does anyone know why the car that I am looking for in the paragraph above and a MSRP between the two prices in the national campagin leases for roughly the same monthly amount as a $56,095 car?

Check the ad closely... I'm sure it mentions somewhere between $3000-$4000 due at signing.. By the time you roll that down payment into the monthly payments, then add tax, the amount comes way up... That $449 deal.. if you don't make the cap cost reduction, then add tax, and don't forget its for only 10K/year, and maybe you need 15K... That price will get up to $600 or more really fast...

Thanks for your response. Had originally priced in the same driveoff numbers, but had failed to include tax amounts. Problem is that the quotes that I have received from dealers are still roughly $30 off of what my guestimate is for the apples to apples comparison of the national campaign including taxes. Not sure if there are other imbedded costs that regional dealers incorporate. May also depend upon sales price of car and whether demand in southern California is higher than elsewhere in the country. Am I right?

Try New Century BMW in Alhambra. It's right on the South Pasadena line. They had at least 5 or 6 X5 3.0's for that exact same MSRP a couple weeks back. Both of the sales managers seem very open to skipping the sales floor BS. I helped my cousin lease a Z4 there a few months back and the service department is very responsive for me as well.

The advertised deal includes a discount off of MSRP to achieve those numbers.. If the numbers don't add up, then the dealer is probably trying to get a little more profit out of the deal. The price is negotiable.. Just because they throw out a figure, doesn't mean they won't come down.. Leasing is just like buying, in that respect. Good luck.

2005 X5 3.0i $45191 by joe94402

I just placed an order for a 2005 X5 3.0i, with premium package, rear climate package, automatic, and retractable load floor. My price $45191, which is $600 over invoice, destination charge, MACO, and TSF.
 
I shopped for the car almost completely by e-mail. Mailed (and web-formed) my requirements to 10-ish dealers in a 100-mile radius area and asked for a quote. About half of the dealers responded, and all of them quoted prices under the Edmunds TMV. The 2nd lowest quote suggested that I could get the 2005 X5 for just a slight increment in price, and that's the deal I went for.
 
All in all, this was the most pleasant car buying experience I've ever had. The most pleasant, except for one glaringly bad visit to Peter Pan BMW in San Mateo.
 
I would recommend to everyone in the area that they avoid Peter Pan BMW. They have the most unhelpful and rude sales staff. I initially wanted to shop there, since they are the local dealer for me. When my wife and I visited that dealership, we were completely ignored for a solid 20 minutes while she and I climbed in and out of the '04 X5 on the show floor. Other customers would come in, and they would be helped. My wife and I, we were completely invisible to them. Finally, exasperated, I grabbed someone to ask him to let us test drive the SUV. The guy stared at me blankly for a couple seconds and then turned away. They lost our business that day, when I would have been willing to try to reach a deal with them.
 
Oh, I am in the San Francisco Bay Area.
