Hey guys.

I've agreed to purchase a 2009 X5 4.8i from my dealer at $1,000 over cost.

The Finance manager has an internal report he has given me that shows his base price for the car at $51,705. But everything that I have seen shows a base of $51,335. The total wholesale options is $15,190 for a net total of $66,895. Then he has $825 destination, $300 MACO and $180 Training Fee for a grand wholesale total of $68,200.

So, what gives? I don't understand how he gets $51,705 for a base wholesale price. Is he fabricating / inflating the base price?

Anyone else buying a 4.8 right now know what they are paying in comparison?
