I recently ordered a 2010 SAV diesel. Does anyone know when delivery will begin? I was told production would not start until 10/1. alan39

Replying to: kyfdx (Sep 20, 2009 6:33 am) I am contemplating using CarBargans.org to make sure I get the best deal in this region. For $200 they'll get you bids from 5 separate dealers. If there are dealer incentives that are unseen by the public, hopefully that will flush them out. Again, may be better to await a more opportunistic time of year (i.e., near the end of December).

Replying to: bro1o3 (Sep 27, 2009 7:09 am) I think that this is the issue you are starting to see. The allocations of 2010s are being taken up by the $4500 incentive. The risk you run is the $4500 expires and its not such a good deal anymore.. -jr |

Replying to: kyfdx (Sep 20, 2009 6:33 am) It's clear why BMW offered the $4,500 incentive for the diesel X5. As of June 30 (the most recent date for which numbers were published), BMW had only sold 880 diesel X5s and 563 diesel 3 series in the US for the entire year. Those are terrible sales numbers for a manufacturer like BMW. Diesel sales will probably increase significantly in Q3 this year with the tax credits and incentives, but it's clear that the clean diesel option hasn't caught on in the US. I bought a diesel X5 and I'm very happy with it. It would be nice for more people to consider clean diesel as an option now that the price points have come down. I just took a trip in the diesel X5, and I got 28.7 mpg in highway (70 mph) and some mixed driving. The vehicle isn't even broken in yet. That's not bad for a 5,300 lb SUV. My 2007 X5 4.8i would barely get 21 mpg highway on a good day. |

I thought it would be good to post here since these forums helped me get a great deal on my last two purchases. First of all, just test drove 2009 x5 35d-> great car, great torque, love it. Tried to get a decent offer in Washington state, essentially laughed at. So, going down to Calabasas, CA for my car. Best price I found in northern and southern california, totally straighforward internet sales manager, made the deal over the phone in less than 15minutes, put the deposit down on my credit card, will receive the car in november. This is what I ordered: X5 AWD 4dr 35d Premium package Cold weather package ipod, usb Invoice $53010, msrp $57,075 Incentive $4500 Price $49,520 Hope this helps, good luck to everyone. FYI, it is not a big deal to get a car from out of state, shipping cost vary but is usually 500-$1000. I would recommend getting a car from out of state if the local dealers are not willing to deal. |
