Quote from thompson bmw for 06 325xi

govtec · 07-23-2005, 08:21 PM

Went for a test drive today at thompson bmw, just outside of philly. Handling of the car is outstanding. I road tested the 330i manual and 325i/330i auto. Bear in mind i've never driven or owned a european car before only honda's and toyos in the family. Anyway here is the quote:

06 325xi auto=$32,800(they charge me the $600 of price increase even though i tried to explained to them my order will be placed before sept 1 when it becomes effective)
Destination $695
Premium package $2900
auto tranny $1275
sport package $1200
comfort access $500
xenon $800
alarm $495
Navi $2000
leather $1450
MSRP =$43,315
They offered me $42,500

included in the deal is: 4yr/50k miles warranty, 4yr/50k full maintenance, complete roadside (don't really know what he means by this), free loaner when in shop, free pick up when in shop, free state inspection for all car registered within the house i live in (my family owns 4-5 cars) (for as long as i own the bimmer i guess).

I forgot to bring the invoice and only had msrp prices with me and killed me in negotiation since i had no leverage with the price as to how much profits he earned. I tried bargaining based on what i have read in the post from the forum by stating i want at least $2000 off msrp. Have faith in me this is the very first dealership i've visited. Plan on hitting princeton bmw and main line bmw in philly. Tell me what you all think? Any advice would help during the process? He seemed a little more receptable when i told him about $2k off msrp and he asked me if i were to do the deal now and i said no i would need to get a quote from the other dealership. thanks

the price increase affects order post 7/20...since u ordered it after...i suppose that applies to you...

Email me and I will get you the car for about $1K over invoice.

stressdoc · 07-24-2005, 09:35 AM

Why are they double charging you for leather? It comes with the premium package.
Consider euro delivery, especially if the xi is in short supply/high demand. Definitely go in armed with the invoice price data and bargain from there. I will be surprised if you do not get your car for 40k. Good luck!

the ca that i dealt with was a used car salesman at the dealership because the new car ca were too busy with customers. It shows his knowledge weren't up to par when i mentioned mp3's needed changer to play. The above quote didn't surprise me since I didn't do a complete thorough research as to invoice/retail price and as u can see i got raped at the dealership. I take it as a lesson learned and move on to the next dealership.

Done Deal with Open Road BMW! A big Thank You to Frank for referring me to this dealership. Here is the low down on the deal.

2006 325xi w/ ED
Premium package
auto tranny
sport package
comfort access
xenon
alarm
Navi

Out the door price of $40,577.50

Couldn't be more happier, especially after a hard day at work and triple 666 popping up in my accounting report.
