I went to a BMW dealer the other day. He made me a deal on a car coming from Europe. base 330i with only a moonroof option for $33,890. Now, a few days later he calls and he says he can make the deal for a 1000 over his initial offer and he cant make the initial because of his "boss". Does anyone think i can make the initial deal still? or get a better one?

That's what they do....they reel you in with a rock bottom price then they say they can't deliver. Tell the salesman that if his boss doesn't allow the initial offer, there will be no sale.

The first deal isnt even that great anyway, which is right at invoice. Paying invoice when there is a $2400 incentive isnt that good.

Tell the sales guy you have just sold your car and you are going to buy another this weeked, it is amazing how much they will work with you if they see a sale slipping away. Also if you are looking for a used car mention the words CarMax and the price will drop beacuse they know there prices are low to start with.
I bought a 330i, 2 yrs old, 24,000 miles for $27,900 from there. Sticker with all the options was $38,000

invoice = $34,270

so if he wants $1K over the initial offer, tell him you'll be taking your business elsewhere. [nono]

Work your way up from the invoice price, that is the dealer's profit. Not from the sticker (MSRP) down.

Don't mention the rebate until you reach a price you are comfortable with. See how that works. [;)]

It isn't? Maybe not in all cases, I'm paying $155 over invoice for my 04 330i (42k msrp) and in the process getting out of my 03 325i lease...

I told the guy about the $2400 incentive and his reply was "We need to make money too". [hihi] So I let it go through as a token of appreciation for relieving me of my lease! (no extra charge)

Well you have to look at it this way. Since there is a 2400 incentive, the REAL invoice of the car drops by 2400 bucks, so if somone is paying invoice, or in your case 150 over invoice, thats *really* 2550 over invoice, which isnt that great. If you're saying theyre eating some negative equity on your current lease, that may equal out, but on a deal where theres no negative equity involved, paying invoice on a 330 right now would not be a very good deal. I would be looking for about 900 under invoice if I were buying right now (1500 over incentive invoice).

No Sport, is that because of NYC?

For what its worth, I've owned 2 330's and never been to the dealer for anything but maintenance. From what I've seen with BMW's, it's pretty much just the luck of the draw if you get one like what you had or one that never ever has trouble.

[headbang] Congrat's on the new 330.

Edit - Here are some pics of my German autos. Be sure and hit us with some pics of the new 330, I love new car pics.

Yep no manual and no sports is because of NYC traffic and potholes. I figured BMW was luck of the draw, like you said either its perfect or its the opposite. I'll post pics if I can manage to shrink them to 50k, next to impossible on a 4.3mp camera.

Btw, Nice pics the brown leather interior looks good on the 325i.[thumb]

Ok im done hijacking this thread.
