Best Deals in NJ?

[Metallic135i]

Hey All,

Fellow dirty-jersey guy here!

I've been reading a bit in terms of everyone collectively complaining about the ridiculous lease prices and bad financing rates, especially given that the car is being sold (for the most part) at MSRP.

For everyone biting the bullet and actually taking delivery, can you guys list the terms of the deals you got, so the rest of us can figure out which dealership to go to? This would be a good resource till dealers sign up as vendors to offer better pricing than the average dealership - Example: on the evo forums, a string of Cali dealerships offer close to invoice pricing on evo's, including the X, so now people from all over the country are going there for their cars!

Thanks in advance!
A Newb (to beamers)

i went with paul miller in wayne,nj (Ask for Matt Wood he was my CA and also a fellow sti owner)
but..... we paid msrp
no doc fee thou
and floor mats (both rubber and carpet ones)

i was happy

except they drilled my bumper.
grrrrrrrrr

i know achtung30 got a smokin deal on ED
if you can wait it out or wait for ED you can get a good deal if you are looking around.

AVOID CIRCLE BMW at all costs!!!

[Dave]

oh and PARK bmw could get you 500 off but you will def have to wait for their allocation cuz i know they are holding out

[Metallic135i]

park ave bmw - ask for craig, let him know John sent you over - i got the first 128 allocation.... they have a bunch of 1ers on the lot, they didn't take many customer orders - just ordered a bunch on their own.

how bad?
circle bmw wanted 1000 deposit... and they were retarded about their financing...they offered 6.5
we got 4.64 for the small balance we did end up financing

Also Paul Miller was very understanding about the $ situation
Since Schwab SUCKS...i could not wire the $ on good friday even thou they had plenty of notice...Paul miller (sales manager jeff martinez) did a temp loan for the amount needed to hand me the keys.
Once they received the $ monday they shredded it

Very understanding and made a shitty weekend worth all the hassle

Now i just need to drive the 1 more

My first attempt was at Park Ave...not only did I have an incompetent sales rep - Jerry DeLeon, my current ride was insulted...he didn't have the balls to talk to his sales manager to present my offer...just kept spouting out "oh its too early, we can't do MSRP, i'm not sure of this, that...etc..."

Then one day he calls me up, asks me a question, not even 2 words into my response, he puts me on hold for 2 minutes, then asks if he can call me back...moron.

random salesman - "anybody here drive a Nissan truck? Its blocking our main throughfare."
me - "i don't drive a Nissan, do you mean maybe an Infiniti FX35?"
salesman - "Nissan, Lexus, Infiniti, whatever, not a BMW..."
me - "maybe if you knew your makes and models, you'd have better sales figures."

i got 500$ under MSRP from amanda at ramsey bmw...128i

[Dave]

wow that is just plain ignorance....
nissan truck lol

sometimes it is worth it for a good experience not to haggle but that is just starting out on the wrong foot


jdes- congrats on the car and price!

[Metallic135i]

+1 JDE...wish they'd do that for the 135i

did u go thru the internet department, or sales floor?

I found the internet department to be better at sales - plus they have a smoking hot girl working there :thumbup:

lets face it thou, dealerships have a select few amazing salespersons and good amount of average ones and a couple retards that shouldnt sell anything.

Its the same at my dealership - no idea how many ppl i'd like to fire b/c of the way they act around customers. :iono:

Now that is hilarious...you got to love morons that don't know cars trying to sell you your 2nd biggest investment in life ($$$ wise)

I totally understand this as I had a nice run in with some jerk down in Princeton

Congrats on the ride. I just ordered mine today, and got a pretty decent deal. I posted it in the prices paid forums. I also found 4.99% for 72 months.. Where did you get 4.64??

Thanks!

Also BMW of Bloomfield. Sales guy... Joe Liu.

Quite possibly the nicest, low pressure car sales guy I've ever dealt with. If you plan on contacting him, tell him John L. sent ya!!

[Metallic135i]

word...as much as i'm loving the car, I might wait till the prices get a little more reasonable so maybe this coming fall or something I'll bite the bullet!

till then i'll continue beating the crap out of my jeep cause I'm bitter it's not a 135!

I've ALWAYS gotten smoking deals from Mark Carvalho at JMK BMW. They had no problem doing an ED order for me from first allocation, that they easily could have sold at a higher profit.

When my father bought his 535i, he got the deal of the century. The car had about 500 miles on it, because a previous buyer had returned it. JMK sold it to us for A LOT less than invoice.

Their Saab dealer, and service have also always been great. I bought a new Saab from them a couple years back, and about 5 hours after picking it up, I was rear-ended at a red light by someone doing about 60. Insurance didn't want to total, even though the cost of repair was already more than 80% of the vehicle's cost. JMK took apart the ENTIRE car, down to a bare frame, to find every single part that was damaged, and managed to come up with an extra few thousand dollars in damage that pushed it over the edge. The were willing to spend two days worth of labor in the bodyshop to help out a customer, which isn't something most dealers will do.
