One Indiana dealership is giving me $250 over invoice for a total of $43,070.

The Chicagoland dealership/sales associate my family and I have bought 5 cars from, is giving me $400 over invoice for a total of $43,220. I did not mention the Indiana dealership or any "repeat customer" discounting yet.

What do you think of these initial offers? This is my first time building a car, and I do not feel confident (yet). I've always purchased a car off the lot.

Any strategies or advice?

THANK YOU!

Your venturing into 335i territory at that price. But you do have lots of options...If I had that cash I would go for a more basic 335i, unless you feel you need all of those options.

They should give you 1000 off msrp at least. Thats what I got.

I hear you can get them below invoice right now as BMW is offering like $1500/$1000 back on coupes and sedans respectively

Which dealerships are you talking about? Levin?

You mean $1000 off invoice? Because $1000 off MSRP would be $45,480...

Where can I find documentation about the ~$1000 back on sedans so I can bring it up with the dealerships? This would be stellar.

ni8shadow, I do want all these options and I realize I'm approaching 335i territory...but I'd rather have 4wd and all these options rather than a larger engine.

QUESTION: Should I tell the Chicago dealer about Indiana dealer's $250 over invoice BEFORE I ask for return customer discounts? Or vice versa???

Anybody have experience with return customer discounts, specifically when building a car?

I am not sure man, but my step bro is looking at buying a 335XI and told me BMW is offering some incentives on the 09's. Try searching the internet for them I guess.
