Good quote?

eou2 · 05-19-2007, 04:32 PM

Hi guys, I've been lurking for the past few months reading up on the 335 sedan and coupe and I'm about a week away from placing an order. Today I went for a test drive of the 335 sedan (can't wait that long for the coupe) and DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN is it a nice drive! Sat down with the CA and started going through some numbers and this is what I ended up with (all figures are in Canadian funds)

335 6-speed manual E90 Sedan Black with Aluminum trim (black leatherette)
- Sport Package
- Comfort Access

$50,130 with all above options
- $2,000 down payment
- various fees waived (gas tax, etc.)
- 36 month lease at 4.9%
- $710/month taxes included

I went in with the invoice price figures for the car and options and went from there, I'm not sure what everyone else is paying but if some Canadian owners can chime in and give some feedback that'd be great! I'm looking to hit June production and get the car delivered in July, so I have to make my decision within the week. Thanks in advance! Hope to join the ranks of 335 owners soon!

That seems like a really good deal, close to 6% off MSRP if my calculations are right. Normally anything more than a 4% discount is tough to get, what dealership is this from?

Also, feel free to share the invoice info you have with us.

lol no problem, from CarCostCanada I got an invoice price of the 335 sedan at $45,310, it's off by a hundred bucks or so but it's pretty much right on the mark. The dealership I went to is Town and Country BMW, my CA is someone my family has dealt with before at other dealerships (non-BMW) so I got a good what I felt was a good deal from him

. Just wanted to gauge how good my deal really is based on others saying they got 4% and up off MSRP. I negotiated the other way, from invoice up, plus promising him back in the day to look him up when I was going to get a BMW didn't hurt either

. I highly recommend getting a CarCostCanada account and having the information present with you when you go in to talk, my CA said alot of people don't, but the ones that DO bring it in got similar deals to mine.

So far +1 on the quote, any other input is welcome!

They had a 6.9% back in December.
So I ended up paying cash... for the whole thing

eou2 · 05-19-2007, 05:33 PM

6.9% discount? or 6.9% rate? 2 months ago the 335 coupe was going for 6.9% rate and I wasn't ready to buy then, I thought it would still be around there until I was ready to get the car but then it got bumped up to 7.75%!

6.9% lease or finance rate. Crazy.

eou2 · 05-20-2007, 12:22 PM

But 6.9% is about standard for BMW isn't it? I was actually very surprised to see 4.9% for mine since I thought the German automakers typically had higher rates than the Japanese or Americans.

But was it still 4.9% 2 or 3 months ago? They were running all sorts of specials back then.

Okay guys, anyone else have any comments on my sedan quote? Gotta decide if I should take it or not pretty soon if I want to make it for June production.

If price really concerns you, don't buy a BMW.

If you really like the car, go get it!!!

Lol at that price it's pretty good, just wondering if there was any room for improvement. Asians love to squeeze every penny we can LOL

yup I meant the sedan, was it also 4.9% 3 months ago? Never saw the coupe below 6.9% as you stated.

Yvette · 05-21-2007, 09:37 PM

$700 tax in for a month w/ 2000 downpayment...
that sounds good.
how much discount you got?

flush01 · 05-21-2007, 09:57 PM

btw, how much due on the delivery ? pdi/freighn/etc ?

eou2 · 05-23-2007, 11:38 AM

I dealt with invoice price so I haven't calculated how much discount I received off MSRP, but as someone stated before 6% sounds about right, or just under. To be honest I didn't really negotiate all that much, sat down, this is what your invoice is, this is your MSRP, this is how much I'm willing to give, done deal lol.

Including down payment of 2k, freight, PDI and all that, roughly $6,500 due on delivery. Freight at 600, PDI at 1295, not sure if those are even negotiable.

yap they're not negotiable, that sounds about right (i thought you didn't have to pay all those fees from your first post so I thought that cant be right).....

Lol sorry my mistake, I meant the smaller fees like the gas fee and all that stuff. Freight and stuff needs to be paid. Well looks like it's pretty much a done deal! CA snuck my order into the queue, going in this weekend to sign the papers!

Sounds like a nice car and a good deal. Nice discipline on not raiding the options list too heavily!

The only thing I would recommend is adding BMW Assist / Bluetooth. It's overpriced and I think it sucks that BMW doesn't include it as standard, but it's a great feature.

canucklion · 05-23-2007, 09:05 PM

that's a really good price!

I had considered it since it's a nice feature to add, but decided against it. There weren't many options that I really needed since most of the things I want (moonroof, aluminum trim, etc.) were standard on the 335. If I could get rid of the leatherette and go with cloth seats I would lol, I hate sliding around on slick seats. I like a bit of luxury but overall it's the enjoyment of the drive that I go for

. I'm fairly young, don't need all the bells and whistles just yet lol.

eou2 · 05-28-2007, 11:17 AM

Ladies and Gentlemen, it's a done deal!!...signed off this weekend and I should expect the car near the end of July!...I look forward to being part of the owner's circle of this community!
