CYS8787 Neutral Newbie January 15, 2021 Share January 15, 2021 Hi guys. New car buyer here. I read a lot of comments about Merc, BMW, and Audi ADs marking up their list prices by a lot. What would be the typical % of reasonable profit margin? Seems crazy to list $298k for BMW 530i as an example. Also, do you think the room for nego is a lot less for indent units? coz i am looking to add options as well. Thank you very much in advance for inputs!

Thank you very much in advance for inputs! willing seller, willing buyer ... some more you can only take what is available in the showroom or what models and options bring in by AD if you want to indent special options ... Good Luck btw, have you seen Porsche pricing lately? lol Edited January 15, 2021 by Wt_know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CYS8787 Neutral Newbie January 15, 2021 Share January 15, 2021 Yeah I am looking to only get the available options, not special indent. Porsche is definitely not in my budget haha. Anyway it will be my first purchase, just looking to pay something that is reasonable, and not pay over the odds. I am looking at BMW 530i and Audi A6 45 tfsi. But the list prices seem really unreasonable considering their costs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the profit margin of 530i? 50k? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the input. If I am to take 530i's OMV ($62k) from LTA, the sell price would be something closer to 280k instead of 300k. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Luck btw, have you seen Porsche pricing lately? lol I think Bmw has something called individual series where the paint colour choices are different from the usual pallet of standard colour n the Uphostry n type of stitches also various from the usual option list . if you are referring to that, then yeah we talking about a different level of refinement. But if it’s like sunroof n stuff.. like Koay Teow Mai hum but paying more for it , then not worth it .. Edited January 17, 2021 by Sdf4786k 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much in advance for inputs! The Covid effect..100 billion dollars of our national reserve, money coursing through the veins of our economy..all fly into cars & condo. If I was AD, I will jack the prices up even more because willing buyers are crashing through the front doors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
