Are there dealer incentives on the 2011s?

[PasPar2]

how can a bmw dealer afford to sell a 65k vehicle right when its being reintroduced for $700 over invoice?

something seems fishy.

1. Happens day in and day out
2. What specific 2011 are you talking about?
3. Is it a sale or lease? If the latter they can make money elsewhere.
4. Just moving cars will benefit the dealership- future allocations and other indirect incentives may exist

+1 for ard.

The reason I asked is because while this is my 3rd x5, the prior 2 were 2k over and it took some legwork for both. This one took no effort to get at $700 over.

[phattbam]

did you go back to the same dealership? sometimes loyalty helps out. But maybe that particular dealership you're working with needs to move units.

[PasPar2]

with the first 2 - yes. They wouldnt work with me on the 3rd. The salesguy I used before quit so I went shopping...

I have had good results with internet shopping. they all fight for your business. I was fortunate enough to have worked at the dealership where I picked up my second BMW from so they gave me $500 over.

Like I asked in my first post, what model?

If you are buying- for example- a diesel and are paying $700 over published invoice. But they are not giving you the ECO credit, they are really making $5200. Just an example.
