USAA Auto Circle

[ShocDoc79]

Question for USAA members who used the Auto Circle pricing. Discount of $6388 seems to be the norm for with CP, full merino, lighting, exec and driver assist. On 2014's, aside from customer loyalty (which I qualify for) are dealers willing to negotiate further down to invoice or below for inventory cars? Some smoking deals on 2013's which every possible discount can be combined but have decided to go the 2014 route.

I ordered a 2014 last month and received 2.5% discount for USAA member and also received the bmw loyalty discount. I got almost $6k off after all the discounts were added. Not as much as on the 2013's but something is better than nothing.

When I build a 2014 on the USAA car buying service site I get an MSRP of $118,925 and an estimated dealer price of $106,705. That's just over 10% off. My dealer said he would be able to do what ever USAA pricing is, with what ever holiday incentives are on top of that...

My experience is that USAA pricing is below US invoice, but above what you can do on an ED.

Yea, from what I gather USAA pricing is invoice - the $2000 USAA incentive. The deal I'm working is about 10% off MSRP. Invoice would be 7% off MSRP and ED invoice would be about 14% off of US MSRP

I have 2 car buying experiences with BMW in the last 12 months.

First was a stateside 3-series purchase. I used USAA and it was $1500 (or about 2.5%) under US Invoice.

The second was a ED M5... no USAA in conjunction with ED, but I got the car at about 12% below US MSRP/5% below US invoice/2% above ED invoice.

Not bad. I don't think invoice on an ED is a realistic goal. 2% above ED invoice is pretty nice deal. Loved the ED write up BTW!

Judging from inputs posted I'll negotiate for $1500 below US invoice on inventory cars. however, after reading B-1 Pilot's price on ED...YHGTBFSM...I'll be calling tomorrow for possible late December build dates for an ED.

Thanks to everyone for your inputs.

USAA's target price seems to vary by zip code as I got two different target prices for different dealers. One dealer said USAA's price is a bit unrealistic whereas another dealer is more in line with their pricing.

I was also told that if I lease, the USAA credit is only 500 vs. the 2000 off a purchase.

I just ordered my 2014 for ED (yes I will post updates and tons of pics). I am taking delivery in mid April - the wait is KILLING me!

I am working with David at Steve Thomas BMW, I'd suggest giving him a call as another option - you might be pleasantly surprised. Following are his details:

KRZI, you are so right, none better than David. I ordered mine with him and it is enroute across the Atlantic. Ordered MCB, Lights, Exec, Driver Assist, B&O, Comp pkgs. Omitted full leather and having second thoughts. May re-order with full leather and spring Euro delivery.
