looking to purchase 2010 X5 3.5d by jamesr219

Looking to get 2010 3.5d for $1000 over invoice (including any dealer fees). Dealer is trying to tell me allocation of diesels are lower and demand is higher so he won't take my deal..
 
I think 1000 over invoice is a fair deal on this vehicle in the current climate.
 
Also, anyone know where I can get a list of the advertising fees for the regions? That is another thing they are trying to get. I know it is somewhat legit though..
 
thanks,

Try Athens BMW in Georgia. Email me if you want to discuss. I ordered from them at 1000 above invoice. Pickup mid October.

jamesr219 - I paid about 1700 over invoice. I may have been able to work that down a bit, but went with a no haggle dealer that was very professional and honest. They did not charge me any doument costs like several dealer do (usually 3-400 dolallrs). Are you including the 4500 eco-credit in your price, I think that got extended through October?

Don't know how I can email you via here. Couldn't find a quick way.
 
Dealer is trying to say $2000 over invoice but that includes advertising. I'm not going to go for it. I know others have done better.

2010 X5 Sports Package MSRP Falls by $1,500 to $2,200 by bro1o3

Got the MSRP pricing on the 2010 model and was pleased to find that the Sports Package is declining from $3,700 to $2,200. The reason? The are elminating the sports suspension which, according to the salesman, will have only a modest change in the feel when rounding corners. This is great as far as I'm concerned because you still get everything else including the 19" wheels, sport steering wheel, etc.

The reason Sports Pkg is cheaper now is because they have made Adaptive Drive a stand alone option for $3000 and removed it as a part of the Sports Pkg. Adaptive Drive automatically and instantly adjusts the suspension based on the kind of pavement the X5 is driving on. If one side is riding on a rougher road surface than the other side it will minimize the bumps on that side to give a more balanced feel. It also works while cornering, so yes cornering will be less exhilarating without Adaptive Drive. If you add the two together then it works out to be much more expensive than the old Sports Pkg.
 
The Sports Pkg still includes the sports suspension. Don't know how much different it will feel without the Adaptive Drive.

Decent deal? How much better available? by fredsco
Sep 20, 2009 (6:18 am)

Dealer in NJ:
 
BMW X5 2010 xDrive35d
 
Options:
Premium, Technology, Rear Climate, Heated Front Seats, iPod and USB Adapter, Running Boards,
 
Comparably equipped 2009 model
 
MSRP $60,625
invoice $55,755
 
but there are changes to the 2010

Edmunds claims others are paying $52,858 but dealer is offering 54,000 (after 4,500 eco-credit) claiming the diesel are orders and therefore require an allocation. The allocation is important apparently because if you don't use them, you won't receive them the following month. That however seems to indicate a greater willingness to discount unless I'm missing something?
 
Does anyone know what the 2010 invoice listings are? It's very difficult to evaluate the offer otherwise. Thanks!

The allocation thing is just a ruse to confuse you... If it were true, then your supposition would be correct: They would have more incentve to move the car to preserve their allocation.. (allocations aren't really determined on what you sold last month... they are longer term than that).
 
When a manufacturer is putting a substantial rebate on a certain model, you can be sure that they are having trouble moving that model.. In those cases, the dealer discount should be substantial.
 
 I haven't seen 2010 invoice prices, except on the X5 M model, but on the '09, the spread between MSRP and invoice is about $4800 on an X5 diesel that has an MSRP north of $60K.
 
If it were me, I'd want a discount of at least $3500, in addition to the $4500 rebate.. That's $8K off of MSRP.. (at a minimum) Since the 2010 models just came out, reality may not have set in, yet... If you can't get that number, I'd wait it out for a little while..
 
regards,
kyfdx
