Unless there is another 06 X5 4.8 nearby that you can play one dealer against the other, buy it.

Here is a local deal from VOB in MD. This 4.8 is close to your last offer so that sounds about right.

If BMW continues the dealer incentive their cost on this truck is $63,454, excluding the floor plan expense. Don't see how they could sell for $60K.

I paid $64K & change for my '06 4.8 with every option a few weeks ago.

A little over $10K off sticker.

By the way it has around 160 miles on it. They said they took it to couple golf tournaments as display vehicle. Warranty is upgraded to 4Y/55K mile instead of 4Y/50K. Decision, decision.

$60K absolute max! Be prepared to walk away.

If you demand 60K only, be prepared to walk away for sure. Dealers aren't going to take a 17K hit to move a SUV in the winter time. Now, if it were July...you'd be in good shape.

As I said, I know a dealer who got rid of brand new 4.8 for $54K. He said it is not a problem now to get one under $60K. If it sounds unrealistic to you, don't say it is not doable.

Where do you live where a dealer told you this and what dealer?
