Later I got a call from the salesman saying that after looking at the numbers and talking with his manager that he had to add an additional $480 to cover the MACO costs (prep, car wash, advertising). Has anyone encountered this? He said this cost is in addition to the dealer invoice.

What dealer are you using????? I bought 4 BMW's from 2 different dealers in NJ and NEVER paid MACO costs. This is something they mostly do in Cal.
Good luck. If you need the number of a great dealer and CA let me know.
cheers
