Is this possible?
My neighbor told me that he negotiated the following deal:
2009 M3 Sedan. Alpine Wht/Fox Red. Tech Package, DCT, Moonroof, 19" Wheels. Maybe a few other options. He's telling me the price he was quoted was $62,000 and with taxes and the other fees it will be $67K. Doesn't sound right to me on an ordered 2009 M3. What do you guys think? |

I think that would mean he got around 2k off... I find it a little hard to believe considering its an 09.
Pick from the following: -Its an 08 -He's bullshitting -Got lucky

Actually, it's more like $4K off, right? I built one online and it came to around $66K and change. So, with tax and fees he's paying a final price of what the sticker would be. He doesn't want to say what dealer cuz he "doesn't want everyone to get a deal." If you can't tell the guy is a tool.

I'd be curious to know what dealer it is (I realize he hasn't told you) as all the dealers in Chicago I have talked to aren't giving those kinds of deals on '09s.

My best real world suggestion would be $1500 off MSRP as a stretch, with $500-1000 as a decent probability, and MSRP as a potential reality. |

I just returned from ordering an 09 DCT coupe from my dealer and, after all the extra fees etc...still ended up getting $4510 off MSRP. After taxes and everything, I'm paying less than MSRP.
This is my first car purchase from the dealer and I do not have any other special relationship with them. I e-mailed and asked and that's what they came back with. I didn't bother to do much haggling, but I did get them to throw in some floor mats (no big deal, I know). But, these deals are possible. I got this one with, frankly, not too much effort. The original poster's neighbor may still be a dick though... |

Ehhhh, people bull $hit about what they paid for the cars all the time. He might eb telling the truth, but I'd guess he paid a few K more than what he saying. I say only because I do the same thing

I bought a 2008 and my SA is very cool, we shot the breeze when I went back to get my trunk mat recently. He is seeing the same thing from the computer screen, all the allocations for the next 2 months (Nov/Dec) are low and already filled by customers. BMW appears to be willing to scale down to keep demand high. Who knows what you'll see next Sep/Oct in terms of deals but one thing for sure...it won't be cheaper than today's 2008 bottom, IMO. |

You may be right about the prices in the bigger cities.
However, I don't live in that podunk backwater of Lexington. I live in the great city of Louisville. Actually not a small as you may think (admittedly smaller than the cities that you mentioned) but much bigger than Lexington. A town which I hate with a passion, BTW. And once I told the dealer in Lexington about my offer here, he bid me good day. So, it's not all about the size of the city. |
