Ready To Buy - Your Thoughts
 

Have test driven the MB GL 450 & 320CDI, Audi Q7, Acura MDX, Lexus 350 & X5.
.
We were blown away by the X5.
.
I liked the MDX and for the money it leaves a good impression - but not in the same class as the X5. The MB 320CDI get excellent mileage and solid ride - but just dosen't connect to the road nor excite.
.
So my wife and I are sold. This will be our first BMW. I currently drive a
VW Passat 1.8T and purchased it for the same reasons we liked the X5. (A poor man's 325i).
.
We are looking at a Space Grey 3.0si, Prem Package, NAV, Heated F/Seats, Black Nevada, 3rd Row with the Roof.
.
Sould we expect to pay MSRP?

Thoughts Appreciated.http://www.xoutpost.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Congrats! You should expect to pay 1500-2000 below MSRP

I completely agree with you...the MDX is not in the same class as the X5...don't know why people keep comparing them :loco:

consider your options when you're paying somewhat over invoice

Good choice!
 

Without much effort I was able to get 1500 over invoice for a 3.0 with a good deal of package options. That was just after Christmas for a custom build and I received it one month later. Dec and Jan are reputed to be slow months for dealers.

Get Sport Package too.

Get sports package, and you can negotiate with the dealer, I got 3K off mine.

You won't be sorry you went with the X5!!

Make sure you post pictures once you buy it!

The Sports package brings the X5 to a new level. The ride is IMPROVED over the std suspension. Amazing. :thumbup:

good to hear that...what's a BMW without amazing performance... :thumbup:
