Ferris Member Posts: 30 Registered: Feb 2002	posted 02-06-2002 05:53 PM MSRP $48,900 when new, leather was the only option. Paid $46,500 + tax and license of course. Luxury tax and gas guzzler were already paid.had 1,500 miles on it when I bought it and a small dent on the passanger door which the dealer had fixed with photos of before and after. The dealer said it was on loan to a magazine editor for a photo shoot (don't know if I fully believed him). Long Beach BMW in California doesn't go over MSRP so I am glad I didn't pay over. They also had 4 others in stock for sale at MSRP or below if miles on it. Carbon Black/Grey leather Leather Want to get the Titan shadow trim for the interior as on the 2002 M3s. Anyone know if they're available [This message has been edited by Ferris (edited 02-06-2002).] [This message has been edited by Ferris (edited 02-06-2002).] IP: Logged

gdbarnhill Junior Member Posts: 3 Registered: Feb 2002	posted 02-06-2002 06:49 PM Imola/Blk cloth seats, SMG, HK, ZPW Power Seat Package. MSRP is $51820. I reluctantly paid $500 over ($52,320)for a March tenth week build at McKenna BMW in Norwalk, CA. That comes to $57,192 out the door. They wanted $130 more for mats but finally threw them in. Someone claims they called McKenna today and were quoted MSRP for an order. Maybe I'm a pushover. IP: Logged
islander_4c Member Posts: 62 Registered: Oct 2001	posted 02-06-2002 07:38 PM Hey gbarnhill, Maybe that extra 500 was so that the dealer could get the bonus he/she so richly deserved....poor guy islander IP: Logged

RockysM3 Member Posts: 27 Registered: Jan 2002	posted 02-07-2002 09:06 AM 2002 Imola Red M3 Coupe, Black Leather with Cloth Inserts and NOT a single option. I paid a MSRP of $47,925 which included the Handling and Destination charge, Luxury Tax and the Gas Guzzler Tax. The dealer included the floor mats and a $100 gift certificate for the purchase of acessories, because I bought my car through their Internet dept.

Ken unregistered	posted 02-07-2002 06:15 PM I think I pay too much for my car, it's kinda against my original plan that don't want to pay a penny over MSRP and Tax advantage when I get from out of state. Total can almost save me $ 7K!! But....after I get in the Car last night in the Dealer...and they happen to have slot for me at April deliever. I lose all my control..... IP: Logged

johnc Member Posts: 10 Registered: Feb 2002	posted 02-18-2002 06:29 PM Just bought a TS/Blk m3 coupe. I paid MSRP though I tried to talk them down. They threw in the floor mats given it was "President's day" and all. Seems like most dealers won't go below MSRP on this car(I called around). Good news is build time is only 6-8 weeks. I guess they are hurting a little more after 9/11 and aren't selling as many (not much though). They kept saying how 6 months ago people were paying 5 -6 K over MSRP and waiting longer (maybe to make me feel better). Sounds like you folks on the West Coast have it far worse as this is the way it still is there. By the way, I live in PRovidence, RI. IP: Logged

After 9% Sales tax, 3% Luxury Tax and License and Title the grand total of $60679.10 (don't forget the dime, salesman gave me a rough time.. yerk-off). Delivery... mid-April...????? BTW is it normal that you pay Sales tax over the MSRP + Gas Guzzler + Lux Tax ? Sounds like tax over tax to me.

That sounds like about 7-8 K less tha most are paying and ? invoice cost (if not lower). Congrats. Damn RI taxes (7%) plus 1,000 Gas guzzler tax and a luxury tax sure don't help me. IP: Logged

Rick Member Posts: 54 Registered: Dec 2001	posted 02-20-2002 09:02 PM Conv w/SMG, GPS, etc... every option except the hardtop = MSRP ($62,795 + tax etc) -- no markup. I literally contacted EVERY BMW dealer in CA to get a reasonable delivery date (ordred in Jan, April build, March delivery) with no markup. Steven's Creek BMW is the one that pulled through for me. In my quest I had dealers quote me up to $10k over MSRP and some delivery dates as late as June. My favorite was from Weatherford BMW (dealt with them twice in my life, they were scummy both times) who would take my order, get the car here in April, and THEN tell me the price -- which they assured me would be "market value". Yeah, right, like I just fell off the turnip truck... IP: Logged
islander_4c Member Posts: 62 Registered: Oct 2001	posted 02-20-2002 09:10 PM Rick, Congrats on your new M3....interesting that you got Stevens Creek to give you the car at MSRP....I spoke to them about 2 months ago and they were charging 10 over.....and I've read nothing but complaints about how they try and gouge the buyer. When I went in to their show room they had about 6 M3s on the the floor and all were bought from out of state dealers in order to sell in CA at a premium.....it seems from what I heard they do this as a matter of practice. I got my LSB SMGII Cab 2002 from Allison BMW. islander IP: Logged
johnc Member Posts: 10 Registered: Feb 2002	posted 02-20-2002 11:04 PM Anyone else manage to get an M3 BELOW MSRP? Seems like Speedfreak is the only one listed here. Doubt any dealer needs to go below MSRP to sell these. Maybe there are some real good negotiators out there however (myself excluded). IP: Logged
M3caber Member Posts: 8 Registered: Jan 2002	posted 02-21-2002 02:32 AM John my Cab started at $48,000 but since I got all the options it ended at $58,120 with no tax for military sales. IP: Logged

Anyway, I got it all in writing so hopefully there isn't much crap they can pull on me at this point. How was Allison? They wanted to charge me $48k for a 2 year old M Roadster (about $10k+ over market at the time) when I was first looking for a new car -- they were so far out of line on the price on this vehicle I never even considered them for anything else. Glad they worked out for you, though. IP: Logged

johnc Member Posts: 10 Registered: Feb 2002	posted 02-22-2002 05:22 PM Yup. It really is the damn US taxes that kill most of us. 7% sales tax, $1,000 Gas guzzler tax , luxury tax. It all adds up ........to a lot. Sounds like no dealer will go much below MSRP either to help offset the difference. I'm sure I won't care once I finally get it though IP: Logged
