Is this a great price for 2004 530i?

[LondonBlue]

I want to buy a 2004 BMW 530i sedan with the following options:

automatic transmission
comfort seats
premium package
Navigation system
cold weather package
rear seat heating
xenon lights

I'm on the east coast. A dealer has quoted me $52,125. Is this a great price? Can I do better?

Thanks.

No...invoice is around $49.6...try for a price between $51k and $51.5k.

PS...Also consider fold-down rear seat and audio package....

the new 5 series is ugly, and i highly advise you not to buy
it. i'd go for one of the older models, u can get it a lot cheaper
and you won't have people yelling vulgar remarks at you while
you drive =]

jk if u have the money go for it, but imho i advise against the new
5 series.

bahnstomer is certainly entitled to his opinion, others like the new design very much. Go with what you like and don't spend too much time worrying about what others think. And David NJ is right, the dealer can come down a bit on that price for you.

Thanks for the replies. I ended up going for European Delivery through Joern Esser of Passport BMW. He gave me an outstanding deal!!!

Can you share you secret of getting this car with other people in this forum ??

It is a excellent deal !!!

Tool fan...........I'm assuming that you are in the military and that is the only way you got that deal. Otherwise I agree with Icc..................share the secret to getting a deal like that.

Thanks!

Hey y'all I used to be in the military...now I am a GS Civilian..but yes I work for the Government overseas. That is the secret. I have heard through SEVERAL sources though that many employers get some stellar discounts on "nice" cars for their employees if say more than 3 people are interested in the cars from the same firm. Just check into it that is all. Be patient...my deal fell in my lap when I quit looking and was least expecting it. Good Luck
Peace

Although you probably can't duplicate the military price, you can save a few grand by ordering the car through the European Delivery program, although the savings will largely be offset by your travel costs. In essence, you will get a trip to Europe for free when compared to buying the car here.
