Replying to: msaa (Apr 10, 2006 7:05 pm) Now, since the dealerships won't give you the APR you're looking for.. then shop around and get pre-approved. I've heard many good stories about Chase, Costco, Banco Popular, E-Loan, etc. The good thing about getting pre-approved is that they'll basically hand you a blank check that you can write up to the ammount you need. If you have a trade, you can still negotiate the trade side directly on the dealership (remember that the trade should be handled as a totally separate business) or just go to Carmax (if you have one available) and have your car appraised, don't sell the car on the spot, go with the appraisal back to the dealership and try to get at least a match of Carmax price, it'll be just another card under your sleeve to play. As far as hidden tricks, etc..  , there is none (as far as I know), everything is here, in Edmunds, Cars.com, Forums, etc.. I just compile information, have a clear understanding of what to expect and the difference I think, is that I'm not afraid or shy to ask what I want. You should have the control of the transaction, not the dealership, treat is as a game, demand your terms and in the worst case, nothing will happen (as long you don't sign anything). The best deal is not the least amount of money (that helps though), is just the comfort zone you feel, for the product and deal you get. |

After some negotiation and putting two dealers against eachother I received the following price. 2006 X3 - Black Metallic Paint Beige Leather with Maple Trim Servotronic Streering Automatic steering Xenon lights Park Distance Control Premium Package Cold Weather Package Privacy Glass Navigation Heated Steering Wheel Premium Sound System MSRP= $45,692 Negotiated Price= $42,900 The 1st dealer I was working with had their MSRP with the same optiosn as mentioned above for $46,892. The only reason there was a price difference was because I was being charged for automatic transmission!!! This is a non charge option. So be careful. I am trying to have the 2nd dealer beat Eloan's interest rate of 5.95%. But so far I think this is a pretty decent deal and was hoping someone would just double check and chime in. Does anyone know how much it would cost to have the 4 yr maintainence extended to six years?

Replying to: msaa (Apr 17, 2006 4:34 pm) About the rate, the only option I'd suggest is going through http://www.lendingtree.com/, just to see what they come up with. Also, remember that if rates drop (very unlikely), you can still re-finance before the 1st year and the car will still be considered new, therefore, getting new car rates, that usually are like .5% better than re-finance rates. |

Hey, just joined the forum. I am planning to purchase a 2007 X3...my local dealer in the Philadephia burbs tells me I can order the end of August for October delivery. I will likely pick it up at the performance driving school...can't wait. When I go in to work up a deal I hope you all can help! Until then... I'm thinking - Silver grey metallic, black leather, premium package, heated seats, privacy glass, automatic trans, 18 in. wheels, and any other options that may be new offerings. |
