I have seen the $180 training fee listed on the European Delivery invoice price list, but the MACO fee is not listed. I am trying to determine what $ over ED invoice (base car plus options) is fair to offer to the dealer and I am fine with including the $180 training fee, but don't know about the MACO. Is this a regional advertising fee that is not applicable to certain parts of the country (I live in SoCal where this supposedly applies) and not others?
Does the dealer really pay both of these fees on factory ordered cars? I would be interested to know what SoCal people are paying in terms of dealer profit on 2007 X3's. The car I have in mind will be a Crimson red with Terracotta or sand beige/black leather interior, light poplar wood trim, 6-speed manual, xenon headlights, 18" wheels and premium sound. IIRC, the MSRP is $42,120. I plan to lease it for 24 months.
I thought about the sport package too, but prefer the updated 2007 front end of the non-sport models to the 2006-looking sport models. Also, if I go for the SP, I would have to step up to the lovely optional 19" wheels. The price would go up by over $3K.
