I have ordered a 545i through Laurel Motors in the Chicago area and will have to pay MSRP. Has anyone been able to buy a new 5 series with a discount off of list price?

 

A 545 with my specs will cost around $68,000 including taxes and all that mumbo-jumbo.

 

If I go with a 530i it will list at 58,445; my 545i will list at 62,520.

When I purchased my 1998 E39 540i in late 1997 at 3% over dealer invoice, the sales manager said he would do the same deal on my next BMW. Needless to say, I haven't forgotten those words...it will be interesting to see how good his memory is.

 

Dealer is sticking to MSRP on 530 total cost im estimating at 53,295 before taxes are added in. More than I had guessed the cost would be before last week(

 

I built a 530i on Bmw USA website and it added up to $55,095. From what I hear if you are a BMW USA Club member you can get $1000 off of any new BMW. If this is true I will entertain all avenues to get me into a 5 series at the best price. With that said I will be waiting for the 535i anyway

 

The BMWCCA $1000 rebate for a new 5 is true. You need to be a member for a year to be eligible.

 

I was able to get a 530I for $1000 under MSRP. It took about calls to 10 dealers before one would budge. Luckily, the dealer is only 30 minutes away.

 

excuse my ignorance , but MSRP stands for manufacturer suggested retail price, doesn't it? if so, what does it mean to get a car 3% over dealer invoice? By the way, here in Spain I've ordered my 525i with a 3,75% under what you'd call MSRP in the US (official price call it here), so I assume that's a good deal.

bye, adi?s

 

Dealers charging more than list price/MSRP seems to be a US phenomenon
here in Europe i belive discounts are more common, got about 7% discount on the list price.

 

Drove a new E60 yesterday. It had sport and premium packages. Very nice...

Dealer confirmed that 3% over invoice would be no problem. I'll probably order within a month or so...no hurry because I want nav which won't be available until at least 2nd quarter of 2004.
