True dealer invoice ?

I have tried many websites and all you get is someone wanting to sell you a car or they take you to a page that looks like it will give you the dealer invoice but only ends up being another dead end.

Whay website will give this info

Dealer pricing isn't all that clearcut sometimes. In addition to the 'invoice' cost, often is a floor plan charge, potentially interest if they don't pay cash, then, there are things like holdback, and factory incentives for meeting quota or moving certain models or features. On BMW, I've heard that the markup is in the order of 6-7% for the base price and 9-11% for the options. Nobody can afford to sell the thing and not make some money...they have to pay the salaries of lots of people to keep the operation open, and people and benefits don't come for free. BMW pays their service department for work done under warranty, and the shop can make a moderate amount on work done out of warranty, but to do a decent job, training and refresher courses for the techs has a cost, too, along with the required equipment.

If you can work it out, sometimes, the best way to get a good deal is to do European delivery...you can negotiate from the already discounted price, get a nice vacation out of it, and get to drive the vehicle in the manner it was designed (well, not fully, if you follow the break-in recommendation unless you drive a lot of miles there!). On the model I bought, they said to keep it at or below 100mph for the first 1K-miles, and avoid full throttle acceleration.

Use truecar. It's the best I have found so far. Sales guys hate it because it guarantees you the price. It's a good tool to use when negotiating with a dealer who doesn't participate.

I'm in the process of negotiating now.

its about 92/93% of the msrp price which is what the actual invoice price is.

TrueCar is a vehicle (no pun intended) for dealers to sell you a car at far above the invoice price. "No haggle" does not necessarily mean you're getting the best price. Do your research on actual invoice price and dealer holdbacks to determine how low you can really go.

Epic bump!


Checkout this website for invoice pricing. I found it helpful. Not sure how accurate it is.

If you want to negotiate an invoice plus deal, ask your sales advisor for the full F30 invoice price list, including VIA / Port Installed Accessories. I had no problem getting it.
