first time ordering...need some advice
Hello guys,
after over 6 months of researching...i finally decided to get a 2013 335xi sedan... here's my configuration: 2013 335i with xDrive Sedan: M Sports Line Alpine white (i know...i know...) black leather seats cold weather pkg driver assistance pkg dynamic handling pkg tech pkg hk audio paddle shifters m performance parts - black grilles & stripes. Total MSRP: 59020 + performance parts ($130 + $250) I've been talking to a few dealers in this area...the best offer I got so far is 59800 OTD, but they said they don't have allocation for this car until maybe sometime in April. The other guy gave me $60k and he said he got allocation right now. I thought $60k is acceptable, but before I was about to pull the trigger, he came back to me and said that his "boss" says they cannot sell this configuration for less than $62k. I thought it's bulls*** and rejected them. :/ So...what's the price range I can expect for this configuration? And this is my first time buying a new car, any other advice? (Fees from the dealers: around $300 including documents, registration, etc) tax rate: 6.5% Thanks! |

You already know the price range. XDrive allocations are scarce, and I would imagine even harder to get in a snow state. Now it is just a question of what are you willing to pay. The manager at the dealership probably checked available allocation for other dealers, saw that they hold one of very few spots, and he expects to make some profit on it, there is nothing wrong with that. It would be wrong if they changed the price after you ordered it...

The 4 year maintenance plan is valid nation wide. Doesn't matter where you bought the car from. However Some dealership might not give you a loaner when you need one if you didn't buy the car from them. But I never had any issue like that.

I'm buying. (paying cash) I've run the numbers on edmunds, kbb, and bmwconfig for about a million times now... The invoice price I got from bmwconfig is $54450(doesn't include the two M Performance parts). My start point was $55000, which is about $59300 OTD(including taxes, fees, everything). That's why I'm thinking $59500 OTD may not be a bad deal... (about $700-$800 over invoice price) |

I was reading about the BMW Financing services...if I decide to finance part of the price, do I just apply for it on bmwusa directly? should I do it before or after placing the order? |

Typically you can either get fixed rate (which is usually slightly higher than current market rate, but guaranteed not to change for the duration of the loan) or variable (at current market rate and will change with market rate), and choose from anything from a 24 month loan to a 60 month loan. If you decide to finance through BMW, your dealer will walk you through the whole process (no need to go online first yourself). You may also be able to take advantage of any incentives BMWNA offers for their financing at that time. |
