Hey Guys:

Im in the market for a 330i. How much is everyone paying based off of invoice in Southern California?

What should I look for? What dealership should I avoid?

If you guys can help, I'd be very appreciative.

I paid about $1,200 over invoice at Bob Smith.

If interested, call Hamlet my salesperson. He is just great. My nephew is buying a 550 from Hamlet this weekend. He is no pressure and a real gentlemen. My family has bought five cars from this dealership and they are very nice.

Bob Smith is right off the 101 Freeway in Calabasas (west end of San Fernando Valley).

1000 over invoice is probably the best you're gonna get in southern cali...you might get 800 over, but I did extensive shopping around and the best I could get was 1000.

[GTx08]

can any other southern californians help me?

You should able to get a 330 for about $1,250 to $1,500 over invoice. That's what's going on here in Los Angeles.

Try calling Hamlet at Bob Smith BMW. That's where I got mine. He's great. No pressure. Tell him Larry told you to call him.

I didn't like Bob Smith at all.

Go to Century West BMW, and ask for Robert Rosas. Tell him Mike with the 330i on order sent you...he'll beat everyone's prices.

is this 1250 to 1500 over invoice out the door? or is it before tax+lic and other fees?

1k over invoice, McKenna BMW. Pacific BMW was doing 600 over invoice back in december, but is now at 900 over invoice (Greg Poland, Internet sales)

I picked mckenna for $100 more over invoice rather then Pacific only because they had the EXACT 330i on the lot that I wanted - no sacrifice of options.

Pacific BMW has a HUGE lot (not on site, but @ 101 n. brand building parking lot, top floor - 100 + cars) Both dealers gave me up front pricing over email - just came in signed, got detail, floor mats + full tank of gas and I was off.

Now the wait begins.

Order my car with Hamlet too. Very good experience so far. Hi return every my call and replay on my e-mails promptly.

[LarryK1000]

Hamlet works very closely with Paul Ghosn, the Sales Manager. They're both just great.

And, as to the comment from the person saying he had a bad experience at Bob Smith and recommended Century West -- Paul Ghosn came to Bob Smith from Century West. My family is on it's 6th BMW from between Paul and Hamlet and at the two dealerships.

In MY opinion, it's who your salesperson is that counts the most, not the dealership itself. There are good people at most dealerships. It's finding out the people who are honest that's important.

Hamlet is one gentlemen and a pleasure.

Yea for sure Larry, you gotta deal with whomever floats your boat.

Personally, I feel that Bob Smith is extremely overpriced. They wanted $600 a month for the car I wanted.

Robert at Century West BMW took real nice care of me, I'm paying $525 a month.

Paid $1100 over invoice for 325i with NAV, Sport, Auto, & Xeon Lights @ McKenna this past weekend.

[teodulog]

I got mine for $1,000 over invoice, which includes $380 for MACO. Went with Steve Thomas BMW in Camarillo, They offered best customer service and best price. Talk to Erik Schroeder.

So what does Invoice typically run on a loaded 330i?

In the Seattle area I've not found one new 330i for under 41,500 with Premium and Sport package etc.

Is this about the going rate for a 330i with at least those options?

(Tom, didn't mean to hijack your thread here..)

[teodulog]

Check the Ask A Dealer section on Bimmerfest.com, you can see the invoice price for the car plus any options. You can also look at edmunds.com

[GTx08]

Its cool dont worry about it. My car's MSRP is 44870, im getting it out the door after tax, license, maco, etc.. for $45,562.
