How much above invoice can I expect?

jackassroomie · 02-22-2009, 01:50 PM

Hey guys,

Thinking of trading in my 03 540i for a 335i sedan and was wondering how much it would cost above invoice if I ordered one.

I know I could probably get a better deal on one that's been sitting on the lot for a couple months, but where I live (Chicago) noone has a 335i sedan with manual tranny available.

Thanks for looking.

500-750

I ordered in December paid invoice + $280 MACO + $500.

Loaded 335 E90.

Becareful you don't get soaked on the trade. I tracked private sales on Craigslist to get an idea of what my 530i was going for before going in.

I paid invoice + $500 + maco fee, and I ordered it.

Good plan. Good luck!

is MACO different from the "Training Service Fee" and the "Destination and Handling"?

Im looking at the Confidential Wholesale Price sheet and i'm a little confused.

Yes, it's a separate cost in addition to those two things. MACO is not listed in the wholesale pricing. If my memory serves me correctly, it's about $400.

jackassroomie · 02-27-2009, 01:20 PM

ok...i'll factor that into my costs.

Thanks for the info.

MACO fees vary state to state - check with your dealer - you only pay it if you purchase, not lease. Check the dealer invoice to make sure you're not getting hosed. I paid $280 total MACO fee here in PA.

I sell them on average for 1k over. If you shop 500 is doable.
