I am going to have a third party mechanic review the car even though it is a CPO.

Also, the dealer told me that the internet price from BMW.com >> Certified Pre-Owned in my area is not a negotiable rate. He said, "these things are a commodity, and you wont find any dealer around us that will budge on the price on a certified pre-owned".

I'm in technology sales at a large Fortune 100, and we get beat up on price all the time. Is his statement true? I think he knows I want a CPO X5 2013 Badly. I mean, at the end of the day, if he won't come down $2,000, I won't do the deal. Am I being too strict? Are dealers flexible? Its a 35i Premium, 29K Miles, $39.8K.

I appreciate any help in navigating this transaction.
