Pricing any good ? What do you guys think of the wheels?

[tdrag97]

thats what I wonder about the price too.. since it is a demo and been siting at the dealer for awhile..

but they swear that they are giving it to me $1,500 below invoice. ...

so the its at $41,200 plus the 6.25% tax/title etc.. to make it $43,775 Drive out..

i would take it if its under $40k

I would ask them to meet you half way:
43,800 (just to round it of)- 40,000.= 3800.00 / 2= 1900.00

gives you 41,900.00 out the door or as you say it "drive out"......Its almost end of the month. Consumer spending is down. They will give in.

they just called and they can go $2k below invoice,. which come to at $40.700+ (6.25%) TTL = $43,243.75 still..


still haven't a chance to drive it yet..

Is this a highly comment problem in the 07?

Go to the Bimmerfest X3 section. It got out of hand so I requested that the mod make a sticky for it.

I don't think every '07 X3, or even half, have it. But it's sizeable enough that a handful of folks out there have it, especially if that many people complain about it, even if it is a forum. There have been buy-backs and lemon-law cases. I'm reluctant to cave in to pressure based on voluntary responses alone, but in this case I personally do not recommend an '07 or early '08 X3 equipped with an automatic to friends or family.

Dealers claim there's nothing wrong with it. But clearly, the adaptive transmission and the corresponding software doesn't function properly. In fact, most problems occur AFTER the transmission has relearned for the initial 1000mi.

The previous 5AT is solid and works very well. It shifts smoother, changes more responsively, and doesn't jerk you and your neck around. My X3's automatic works brilliantly even though Charlottesville is in a mountainous region. It's actually better than the 6AT on my mom's '06 325i.

?

words I've learn to use when dealing with stealers when numbers are not to far apart- MEET ME HALF WAY. More often then not they will accept. Don't believe the invoice(discount) numbers they throw at you. They are still making money on it. Stealers do not have an invoice price on loaners, WHY? because they have own it since day 1 and you not are buying the car new ....Good luck.
