First Post - 2010 X5 4.8 M-Sport on order!

Hello All:

This is my first post and I wanted to introduce myself and thank all the members who've helped me and my wife (recently married) make this our first BMW purchase. Hopefully, this post will help others in the market for a 2010 X5.

MSRP - $77,375.
Negotiated Purchase Price Down to- $72,480. (excluding Sales tax, Reg / MV fees etc)
- This is about $1,500. above Invoice / Dealer Cost
3.9% Financing (good thru 11/02 - subject to good credit worthiness)

I used the Internet to solicit quotes from Dealers within a 50 mile radius. This was my choice to avoid pushy salespeople and negotiate from the comfort of my home / office. When I got a firm quote in writing, I asked for a breakdown / "Out the Door" cost including all taxes and fees. There were no hassles, no suprise charges, no pressure.

Tools Used:
Edmunds.com (to obtain True Market Value)
Bimmerfest Pricing Sheets (obtain Dealers Cost)
Used Bankrate. com (calculate Auto Loan Financing / Amortization Tables / Interest Paid)
Checked Experion to make sure Credit Score was Excellent
(note: FICO score 700+ and you should be fine in getting approved for best rate
BMW Financial also Looks at Debt / Credit Available ratio)
