Replying to: the_worm (Nov 12, 2004 12:38 pm) 1) They can make the same profit by adding $500 to the cap cost, as they do from bumping the MF by .0004   However, the $500 extra costs you about $15/mo., while the MF bump would cost you $25/mo.. BMWFS gets the extra money on the MF bump...   It makes no sense... you would think they would do whatever keeps the payment the lowest, but they think they can "hide" the profit this way.   2) MF .00210 residual 60% for 3yr/36K   Now that you have a good idea of what is a good price...   You can offer: $540/mo. + tax with no more than $1800 due at signing.. for 3yr/36K   regards, kyfdx Replies to this message: the_worm (Nov 13, 2004 10:59 am) kyfdx (Nov 13, 2004 2:43 pm) the_worm (Nov 14, 2004 6:50 pm)
#430 of 1544 the saga continues by pjo1966 Nov 13, 2004 (7:10 am)
kyfdx,   Just when I had resigned myself to wait I got a call from the dealer. They'd rather discount a 2005 now for me rather than wait a few months. They suggested I configure 1 to my specifications and order it. Here's what I'm going to propose:   2005 X3 3.0 Silver Grey / Black leather Navigation BMW Assist Privacy Glass Satellite Prep Auto (not coming up as $0 on Edmunds) Sunroof   MSRP $41,895 Invoice $38,355 Negotiated Price $39,355 Residual 60% MF .00210 36 months / 12,000 miles Monthly Payment including tax $507.27   I went with $1000 over invoice to keep the MF at the base. Do you think I could get away with asking for $750 above invoice? The price may change a bit because I may have Sirius factory installed. I'm not sure if that still requires Sat Prep.   What do you think? Replies to this message: pjo1966 (Nov 13, 2004 10:34 am) kyfdx (Nov 13, 2004 2:37 pm)

Replying to: pjo1966 (Nov 13, 2004 7:10 am) I forgot to add:   $1500 out of pocket.

Replying to: kyfdx (Nov 12, 2004 1:18 pm) kyfdx,   Ok so I went back with all of your very helpful info and this is what I ended up with.   1st Payment of $1513.04 and then I have 2 options 1)w/ Security Deposit $553/month +tax 2) waive the Security and apply the security deposit amount ($600)to the down $546/month + tax   Those #s seemed pretty good to me and I think I will go w/ option 2. What do you think?   THANK YOU! Replies to this message: kyfdx (Nov 13, 2004 2:43 pm) the_worm (Nov 14, 2004 6:50 pm)

Replying to: pjo1966 (Nov 13, 2004 7:10 am) I come up with $532 + tax..   That would be with 1st payment, security deposit, and $525 acquisition fee due at signing, which is about $1700 total..   If you plan on making an additional $1500 downpayment, that would drop the payment to $487 + tax.   I didn't check your invoice price, but the MSRP is right on the money..   One note.. it is $300 cheaper to get the premium package, rather than leather and BMW assist separately.. plus you'll get auto dimming rear-view mirror and lumbar supports.   regards, kyfdx

Replying to: the_worm (Nov 13, 2004 10:59 am) Choose option #1..   If you choose option #1, you will get $600 back at the end of three years.   Choose option #2, and you will save $7/mo X 36 mo. = $252.. But, you won't get the $600 back at end of term.. A loss of $348... The "interest loss" on $600 over three years is less than $100... So, you are much better off making the deposit.   regards, kyfdx Replies to this message: the_worm (Nov 14, 2004 6:50 pm)

Replying to: kyfdx (Nov 13, 2004 2:43 pm) kyfdx,   Once I again I thank you for your advice. I will take option #1... otherwise my deal looks pretty good, right?   Thanks
#436 of 1544 standard auto? by bgl Nov 16, 2004 (8:44 am)
So how do I confirm that auto trans is standard on the 2005 X3? Edmunds does not reflect that. Thanks! Replies to this message: kyfdx (Nov 16, 2004 8:55 am)

Replying to: bgl (Nov 16, 2004 8:44 am) It isn't standard.. but, it is a no-cost option on the 3.0 model.. It is $1275 more on the 2.5
