Wholesale/Retail Parts Question

aznshrek88 · 03-27-2007, 02:43 PM

Everytime I call BMW, they ask wholesale or retail, is there any way we can get the wholesale price or do we need some sort of special license...

E90Fleet · 03-27-2007, 02:58 PM

Usually one has to proove to the dealership that one is in the motor industry to get wholesale prices

aznshrek88 · 03-27-2007, 03:07 PM

Hmmm, okay thanks, I've been looking for the OEM, Alarm so far pacific BMW is the cheapest, and some fool even quoted me 360 WITHOUT shipping, I think it was Peter Pan BMW or something Bay Area dealer...man these guys really live up to the name of Stealership

Check Pacific, Circle and Mooristown, they all have it for low 200's or at least did when I was looking for one a month ago, I got mine for 230 shipped

What is Morristown's phone number again>?

My pricing is flexible and i'll give wholesale but I don't think you want to pay for the freight charges from 808.

aznshrek88 · 03-28-2007, 01:47 AM

Autobot, where did you get 230 shipped, no one has that price....

Autobot · 03-28-2007, 11:57 AM

Must have been on sale when I got it then, hmm hold on let me see if I can find where I bought it from

Autobot · 03-28-2007, 12:15 PM

OK Pacific 264.35, 235 from Circle and Moorstown is 248. I use moorstown a lot because I never get charged tax or shipping and it gets here within about a week from NJ to CA. Go online and use thier websites, I have never called so I couldn't tell you

aznshrek88 · 03-28-2007, 01:39 PM

Autobot, Thanks for the help, I'll ask Pacific if they can honor their earlier price first =D

Some of the sponsors offer discounts from list for OEM parts

We Americans are averse to haggling, and many times pay way too much for things. My hunch is it just leads to overcharging everywhere for everything. Sometimes getting a so-called "wholesale" price is a matter of asking. Some plumbing supply house gave me the "contractor discount" on an Elkay sink when I was getting a new counter-top--sure, the price was lower than say Home Depot, but it was ridiculously high. Sometimes getting a discount means making 3-4 phone calls, something that we often don't feel like doing anymore. Like getting a discount on a diamond engagement ring, without the GIA lab report.....

<------ reason why I price seek so hard and I know that its really hard to get a good price on things these days...

No one likes getting ripped off, but if we get a good deal, we tend to stay with the brand...that why I don't think I'll ever buy a Lexus...though for some reason my parents LOVE the brand...
