Need X1 buying advice please

Mememe · 01-23-2018, 05:02 PM

Hi, I own a 2011 BMW 335d and love it. But it won't haul much stuff and I am now living in Denver where it snows...terrible for that.

Just had a x1 for a loaner at the dealership and liked it.

Thinking of buying an x1 as a second car. What options, packages, etc should I be looking for and what's the true, out the door price of a 2017 or 2018 with the AWD? Any/all advice appreciated.

Thanks!

Tough question since there are so many variables (region, dealer inventory, ordered or on the lot, etc.) Take a look at some of the pricing sites online to see what a fair price to expect and/or see what others have paid for a similarly equipped vehicle (KBB, TruCar Pricing, etc.). For a very rough estimate, take the MSRP of the car w/desired option package(s) and knock off 7-9% to arrive close to invoice pricing BEFORE any available factory incentives offered at the time. Obviously, any MY'17's still remaining on the dealers lot will be discounted greater than a MY'18. Either way I think you're still in the $40-43K range, especially if you don't go "whole hog" with the options. Try to remember that BMW's are a indulgence, not a "must have".

Hey -- I just sent you a PM. I have a loaded 2017 X1 I am trying to sell / lease transfer. I'm also in Denver

I agree with Ridin'Dirty's response: "MSRP of the car w/desired option package(s) and knock off 7-9%." It also really depends on the dealership you're at and if you're financing or paying full with cash.

If it'll help, I just purchased my 2018 X1 in San Francisco, CA; major options/packages basically were M Sport, AWD, Navigation and paid in the $41-45K range out the door.

Feel free to PM me if you have other questions.

As mentioned above it’s really going to depend on location and inventory and even time of year.

I just got a MY18 the last few days of 2017 so I got a pretty good price IMO between the dealer and BMW. For a MSRP of $44,845, the dealer was able to take off $4,500 and I got another $4,500 via BMW rebates. I was financing this car too via BMW a financial. Unfortunately I think they were able to be that aggressive because it was end of year. By the way invoice on my car was $42,171. I think you should try to time it with BMW rebates as they come available as the dealer discount is going to generally be pretty consistent.

I just took delivery of my 2017 X1 yesterday and got a great deal buying a 4700 mile loaner. There were BMW rebates and dealer discounts plus 0% 60 month financing, so I’m in a loaded car with full warrenty (CPO) for ~$35k...very happy. Now, I just need to find a good place to garage my 2011 335d for the winter.

Yup...as long as the folks who drove it as a loaner didn't put 90 (out of 100 max allowed) "Launch Control" starts on it, just to verify the 0-60mph time!

LOL I too thought of that, is there anyway to check what the counter is at?

Feels great to save $10k+ on a loaded X1 doesn’t it? I landed a similar deal a couple weeks ago. Hard to argue for buying a new one, but I live in DC where there’s an ample supply of BMWs.

I just bought a 2018 BMW X1 (mediterranean blue - 5000 miles on it/it was a loaner car) with AWD, Premium and Convenience packages and the sports seats with the CPO warranty (5 years unlimited miles), 3 years standard maintenance (also ding and nick protection), and free inspection and car washes for the life of the car.

Total after taxes came out to ~$38,000. At the time I felt like I negotiated a great price but thinking back on it, I feel like I possibly could have got it down another 2K. Am I overthinking it or do you guys think I got a decent deal?

Either way, I'm excited to own my first BMW!
