#480 of 495 Factory to dealer incentives by newfrontier Jul 18, 2007 (2:48 pm)
I can recall several years ago considering a Z4 (bought a G35 Coupe instead - mistake). At the time, BMW was offering a considerable factory to dealer incentive ($3-4K), but I can't recall the time of year. Any idea on when this can be expected? Is it a regular, yearly thing? Also, can a retail buyer expect to get the full amount of such an incentive off the price of the vehicle, or should I expect the dealer to want to keep some or all of it?

This looks like a good deal. What do you think?   2006 Z4 3.0si Black sapphire metallic Dream red interior 3300 miles Premium package Sport package M Sport seats Heated seats Hard top prep Xenons Certified Original warranty good to December 2010 Extend warranty good to December 2012 (what is this worth if one were to buy it separately?) Dealer's price on the sticker is $39,795. The car was put into service in December of 2006, and the dealer picked it up at auction about 2 weeks ago. Thanks for the advice.

#483 of 495 Did I get a good price? by jilly3 Aug 13, 2007 (10:55 am)
I am taking delivery of my car this week. Please comment if you think I got a good deal on it.   2007 BMW Z4 3.0si (brand new) Titanium Silver Black Interior Premium Package Sport Package Xenon Headlights Heated Seats   The MSRP on the car is $48,800. The dealer invoice is $45,380. There is a current $6,500 factory to dealer incentive on these cars, so, my final sales price is $40,980, plus I got him to throw in the windscreen (retail value of $215). Did I do OK?

Let me also add that we had to freight the car in from another state, so that added $400 to the invoice. He itemized it as this:   $48,880 - MSRP $45,380 - Invoice $-6,500 - Factory Money   $38,880 - Net invoice $ 400 - Freight from out of state $ 250 - Floor Mats, PDI $ 215 - Windscreen   $39,665 - Actual Dealer Cost   $ 1,315 - Dealer Profit   $40,980 - Sale Price   I suppose I could argue the price of the windscreen is quoted as retail and NOT wholesale, and that $400 seems excessive for a 5 hour drive (then again BMW's are freighted differently than most cars). Perhaps I am having a panic attack as I am buying the car in two days, but... any thoughts? Think I should have gotten the car for lower?   I did sign a contract for the car, he never countersigned it, however. At this point, would it be crazy to try and re-negotiate or tell him I am walking away entirely? WDYT?
#485 of 495 Did I get a good price? Part three by jilly3 Aug 14, 2007 (8:18 am)
OK, I contacted the salesman yesterday, and we had him take out the windscreen (I can always get this cheaper after market than he is charging me), so we settled on $40,500, which is $1,020 over his invoice costs. NOT too bad, I think! Thoughts? Replies to this message: jxz024000 (Aug 30, 2007 11:16 pm) jilly3 (Sep 04, 2007 9:02 pm) txwm (Oct 10, 2007 4:09 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: jilly3 (Aug 14, 2007 8:18 am) Jilly3, congratulation to your new car. I got one question to you. Do you need to put any deposit to sign the contract? How much did you put if there's a deposit?   thanks, Replies to this message: jilly3 (Sep 04, 2007 9:02 pm) txwm (Oct 10, 2007 4:09 pm) cluedweasel (Oct 14, 2007 1:49 pm)

Replying to: jilly3 (Sep 04, 2007 9:02 pm) Jilly3 - I have a 2005 Z4 and I would have to say your price looks really good to me. How did you find out about the dealer incentive? My 4 yr svc coverage is up next year and I want to upgrade next fall. As I recall, the new models come out late fall, early winter, and the incentives are geared towards getting rid of last year's models. Did you order your car, or was it already out there somewhere? I am trying to make sure I am prepared in time, in advance to get the best deal I can next year.   Thanks! Replies to this message: cluedweasel (Oct 14, 2007 1:49 pm)
