Hi delfer, may I ask you a valuable question?
 
Since you have mentioned about San Diego in your previous post, so it seems like you are also located in California.
 
I am wondering which dealer are you trying to lease the Z4 convertible from because it looks like you got an awesome deal from them ($500 over invoice)?
 
Your help would be very appreciated
 
Regards,
 
Patrick

-Capitalized Cost (sum of purchase price and fees) $46,460

1) .00115 MF because security deposit waived, but farther down the list, you state that the drive off amount includes a $600 deposit? Which is it?
 
2) If I assume you made a deposit, and the MF is .0010, then the payment comes out to $513/mo.+tax, just like you have it.
 
3) Due at signing:
$556 1st pymt
$600 security
$825 acq.fee
$ 45 Doc fee
-----
$2026 Total.. The other $454? Title/registration?
 
The deal looks just okay.. They are marking up the acquisition fee by $200. Assuming they are using the base MF (and it looks like it), that is good. You definitely want to make a security deposit and get the base MF of .0010. I'd want a bigger discount on the selling price. Maybe enough to cover the acquisition fee?
 
I'd be happy with the monthly payment, if I could get the due-at-signing amount knocked down to about $1600, including the $600 security deposit.
 
Regards,
kyfdx

Factory to dealer incentives by newfrontier

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?

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.

Did I get a good price? by jilly3

I am taking delivery of my car this week. Please comment if you think I got a good deal on it.

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?

Did I get a good price? Part two by jilly3

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?

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?
