oh i hear you, you said you got the ED deal. I think your confused.

600 over ED invoice is a couple of thousand below regular invoice. If you are not doing ED, you are not getting the same discount.

With that said, I served in USN in the late 90's.

European Delivery, which allows for buyers to get a discount off the MSRP, pick up their car in Munich, drive it a while and then drop it off for shipping to their destination dealer (at least that's how it works in the U.S.). Based on your signature location, you would get a delivery in Europe, just not an ED.

Is that the price including tax, titles, etc?

ive looked at all the deals people are getting.. when you talk to a dealer you never talk about msrp unless you wanna pay msrp.. my car was 41775 my invoice was 38535 I payed 39135.. tell me thats a good deal.. lol

Most deals will differ, but there seems to be little need to bash someone over it. The real key is the car.

I paid $1,000 over invoice. Which is roughly 2.635%. Don't have the paper work in front of me but MACO was also included in the final price of $38,945

I came in with a much lower price and settled with the numbers above. I walked in with an incorrect invoice, but he was also glad to show me the same numbers he was looking at and we finally agreed.

Also curious, just trying to figure out also how you were able to pay the price of $35k? Was that at the dealer cost or wholesale? Not sure of the proper terms. I see the options..wow, awesome deal you got.

Where can you acquire the invoice price? Does edmunds reflect a good invoice price? Thanks in advance

I used two sites since at the time they provided what they can. Not all options were available/shown. For example:

ZCV-Convenience package- Anti-theft alarm system; Comfort Access keyless entry; Park Distance Control (rear) msrp-1,000 inv-910

I only wanted Anti-theft alarm system; Comfort Access keyless entry, couldn't find an invoice that separated them but they are available separately, so i fudged numbers a bit.

But the dealer i was working with was glad to show me the invoices, his source and it matched the numbers on the sheet i brought, and we both left happy campers
