2012 128i Coupe buying questions

been researching the 2012 128i Coupe

invoice pricing appears to be

$28,885 and $28,705

an idea I had was to build it using the edmunds website and then offer him $ 500 over invoice and offer to slip him an extra $100 after the deal is done.


here is what I have below.let me know if any of these add ons are dumb or not needed

will go with a down payment of $6000 to $10,000 depending

hopefully I haven't left anything out since I'm doing this and its late.

also will test drive one before hand to see if its what I want.

Schedule an appointment with the Internet Sales Manager. Call the dealerships sales line, and ask for the Internet Sales Manager. They'll give you straight invoice, if not go to another dealership. Also they wont haggle you (depending on your credit) for a big down payment. They make money on the back end, dont buy the BS that invoice is their cost, they have holdback, mfg to dealer rebates, flooring costs, etc

Also just my personal opinion; I would never put more than 2k down on ANY car. I'm leasing and only threw 2k down. Whether you finance or lease, its a waste of money to throw on a car. I'd just rather have a higher monthly payment, and the money stays in your pocket.

Good luck
