MSRP = $74,690 - will sell for $71K ($3700 off MSRP or $2500 over Invoice)

Fair?

nope... they're selling for invoice right now..

Closest I can get anyone around here.. do you think that's a California/West coast specific market price?

No. You should be able to get at invoice or close. Try dealing with an internet sales manager at the dealers in your region and just order through them. Or take their price and go back to the dealers locally and tell them to match it.

I got mine in ATL for $1500 over invoice during Thanksgiving.

I'm not sure I trust the published invoice though, it does not seem like there is much profit in a $70k car.

profit on options seems 'slim', profit on base is pretty big. On my configuration, the delta between invoice and MSRP is about $6200 (i added Nappa Leather)

You can do a lot better.

Think of it this way, if the market keeps tanking so is the value of your truck. You need to be getting the best deal out the door.

I agree... try shopping the price around the internet to dealers. I've done this before (on a different vehicle though) and found several thousand dollars difference. I had to prove to them that I was a motivated and qualified buyer to get them to take me seriously.

Once I had the lowest price, I went back to my local dealer (who I really wanted to buy from to begin with) and asked them to match, otherwise I'd buy from other dealer. They matched it.

Not sure if it will work for an X5. Good luck.

You should be able to get it for $500-$1000 over invoice. Shop around...
I don't know about invoice, but it doesn't hurt to try...
