Very good deal. Are they taxing your $4500 credit?
 
What is your color combo?

I see a lot of quotes/prices paid on the diesel X5, can anyone tell me what I should be shooting for when I negotiate on a new 2009 X5 30i? I know that right now they are offering $2500 holiday cash and 4.9% financing for 60 months but I can not get a feel for what a good price base price for this model is. I've seen it suggested to aim for dealer invoice + $500 -- where do I find dealer invoice?

No, the tax is on the final selling price which excludes the $4500 eco-credit. My color combination is Black Sapphire Metallic/Black premium leather.

I thought this information would help others:
It seems that each dealer (or at least this one) is getting an allocation X5d. I was about ready to order a 2010 and had gone to the website and built the car I wanted. I hesitated ordering because I knew that the car would end up being built in January or February and I wanted/needed the SAV now. I happened to look at the nearby inventory (within 100 miles) and noted that a vehicle with nearly my identical build showed up at a dealer about 50 miles away. The vehicle arrived Wednesday and on Friday it had at least three people battling over the thing. That battle probably cost me $500 but in the end paid $1250 over invoice then reduced that amount by the $4500 eco credit. In the end, the MSRP was $63,975 and invoice was $58,815; so in the end I paid about $55,600 before TTL. Not great but not bad. I will get the 2009 alternative energy credit (either $900 or $1800) and the vehicle is in my garage. It has Tech, Prem, Prem Sound, Comfort Access, Cold Wea, Rear Clim, Ipod, Sat Radio (not sure if I missed anything).
Less than 5 minutes after I agreed to the price and while I was standing outside; a couple pulled up behind the car and looked at it closely. Another salesman told them it had just been sold and the wife told the husband; "I told you we should have come yesterday".
One other note is that I think the MPG is better on the highway than the stated 26 mpg - I got 31 mpg on the way home, all highway. My average has since come down to 22.8, but it is now at least 75% city since Saturday

Can I ask - how does the $1800 Alternative energy credit work? I assume you will get it when you file your 2009 taxes? Does everyone get it that buys a diesel or are there qualifications? Also, had you ordered your X5 diesel and not gotten it until sometime in early 2010 were they still going to give you the $4500 eco credit? How about the Alternative energy tax credit - would you still have gotten that if you hadn't taken delivery until 2010?
 
Thank you for your help. I am trying to understand these credits. The credits seem to justify the extra $4100 the diesel costs over the regular X5 but it is a bit confusing, especially given that there are so few diesels on the lot and most likely will need to order....

The alternative energy credit is filed with your taxes and it fluctuates in amount by manufacturer and it phases out as manufacturers hit certain alternative fuel sales figures. I think you have to take delivery in the tax year that you are filing for. I think you also have to purchase and not lease. That is the extent of my amateur knowledge.
The eco-credit is based on when you order the vehicle and whether or not you get this into your deal with your dealer.
You will likely need to order, I just got a bit lucky on this one.
 
The 2010 x5 iDrive and navigation are definitely worth not buying a 2009, so do not even think about that. The system is improved 1 million percent. The parking assist function is also worth the price of admission. There are some quirks with the diesel, but nothing to big to overcome yet. There is a question about the extra cost with diesel prices spreading away from gas prices. There is definitely more torque and power in this diesel and they do last longer.

TMV by slausbound

Greetings. I'm a newbie to the fourm... I'm reading throughout this thread (and others) that $500-$1000 over invoice is a realistic mark-up folks are getting from dealers, but when I model out a 2010 35d and 2010 48i on the Edmunds.com Pricing System, the TMV algorithm indicates that "others" are paying $5,000-$5,500 over invoice. The regional adjustment in TMV is only $300 (I'm in Seattle area).
 
Has the market changed so rapidly that folks are now paying close to MSRP, or is the TMV analysis worthless??
 
Below are the numbers I'm looking at:
 
Modeled 2010 35d
69,825 MSRP
64,130 Invoice
69,179 TMV
  5,049 TMV amt above invoice
 
Modeled 2010 48i
75,175 MSRP
69,000 Invoice
74,489 TMV
  5,489 TMV amt above invoice
 
Thanks, in advance, for you comments.
