Replying to: mls74 (Nov 22, 2008 9:29 am) Now on to the other important number, the selling price. I don't know its exact dealer invoice price, but the car that you described probably has a spread of around $3,000 between its MSRP and invoice price. The $2,100 dealer discount that you were quoted is probably around $900 or so over invoice. This is a pretty good deal, but if you are in an area that has a number of BMW dealers and you purchase something that is in inventory I wouldn't be surprised if you were able to beat this by a couple hundred dollars. Again, this is a good deal but you probably will be able to beat it by a little. The question is how much work you want to put in to shaving a couple dollars per month off of your car's payment.

Replying to: Car_man (Nov 25, 2008 3:22 am) for a 24 mo and 36mo lease? I have been quoted .00225 and 54% residual which doesn't appear as aggressive as I think it should be. Thanks!

I wanted to lease a 328i 08 but dealer does not have any more. Instead dealer offered to order from factory 09 equipped with whatever I want and would charge 800 over invoice. Here are the details I was given: Wholesale MSRP 2009 328I Sedan $30,730 $33,400 Jet black Beige dakota leather Premium package 3,050 3,335 Steptronic automatic transmission 1,260 1,325 Comfort access system 455 500 xenon headlights 730 800 Ipod usb adapter 365 400 MACO 300 Training 180 Destination charge 825 Suggested price $37,895 $40,600 I can sell you this vehicle for $38,695 plus tax, tags, and fees. What are the MACO and training charges? Is that something I could negotiate. Also he mentioned that it would likely take 6-8 weeks to arrive. Would I still be able to get the special lease rates being offered now or would I have to take my chances on what the market rates are at the time of delivery? Thanks for any help.

Replying to: nharsh (Nov 25, 2008 5:36 pm) Training is a separate line item on all BMW invoices Those are both on his invoice (95% of BMW dealers pay MACO). If he is offering you $800 over invoice, then it is what it is.. You can try to negotiate lower, but not based on those two charges not being genuine. If you order before the end of the month, then you can lock in the rates until the end of January. Some programs have a special 90 day rate lock, but you'll have to ask the dealer. If you do order and rate lock, be sure to get the dealer to agree to change to the new program, if it's better at time of delivery. The nice thing about ordering? You don't pay for anything you don't want. Sometimes, that will save you more than looking for a great deal on an existing car. regards, kyfdx
