Just want to share the following with you and ask how you negotiate with all these people (scum and villainy)
How can we take this seriously?
What to do on this situations?
This is a DEMO car.
I tried to be calm and explain to the sales rep that this should be a mistake without exploding. He insisted that he has never seen such discounts (15%-20%) on DEMO CARS… I told him the discount they were applying was not even OK for a new one! (I think I need a drink)
(Joke of a discount, inflated MF, Tried to explain him somehow what I was expecting for this type of car, I think he wanted to hide under his desk…)
As tempting as it is to engage with them over inferior offer sheets, try to avoid/ignore and move on - you won’t convince them (or they won’t admit to it) and you’re just wasting your time.

Agree with @RAX

I know, but the sad part is that we have very few options here in South Florida 
Yeh you gotta calm down a bit. For the unsuspecting buyer who doesn’t understand the inputs, this may look like a good deal.
Shipping from more competitive regions to Florida is like $750.

Agree with shipping or hopping on a flight. Tons of dealers won’t play ball, find one that will.

For just $9,400 DAS, and $564 a month, you can lease this $55k X3 demo!!
Just a touch under $30k for 3 years lmao.
Also, it isn’t a scam, that’s misleading. Just a dealer not willing to negotiate.

You are getting 16% off a demo car, plus 2750 rebates. Ya the base MF is marked up but only by 20 points…not the full 40. You can bring it down with MSD if they disagree on bringing it back down to base at the current discount.Residual won’t be 57% after it’s adjusted for miles. It will be 55.5%.
What I am not sure about is how it goes from 44090 to 53478 total…

There are also 11 BMW dealerships (including Coconut Creek) within 100 miles of Coconut Creek. Plenty of dealers to look at before you have to trek out of state.

Tried already. They all suck!
We just took delivery of a 2019 X3 Demo for 36/12 with zero down and 3 MSD for $399/mon incl tax. She has a few more as I recall. A bit far from you, but it will save you a major headache.
My deal is here (Signed - 2019 X3 S-Drive (DEMO) - 36/12k, $399 x 35pmts, ZERO DAS, 3 MSD) from saturday afternoon for all the details.
This deal is no longer repeatable at this dealer.
Shhhhhh… currently working with her on one 
While I’m not going to say this is a good deal, what makes you think they are “scum and villainy” or what makes you think you’re entitled to a 15-20% off deal?
You have options
-
Look elsewhere. If you really want the car bad enough, you should have no issue flying across country and driving it back
-
Look at something completely different.
Just because Joe Blow got 20% off an x3 doesn’t make the entire US entitled to the same discount.
Dealers all suck when they don’t drop their pants and lose 5k on a deal to sell to you, but buyers asking for the discount would do the exact same thing dealers do if they were in their shoes. Try and convince yourself otherwise and you’re fooling yourself.

You were supposed to defeat the dealers, not join them!

I’m all for a good deal, but I also understand the mechanics behind it.
I’m not sure why the dealer is the enemy, and why they need “defeated.” You’re bringing emotion into it. It’s nothing personal, just business. If you think with that mentality, it’s very easy to walk away and not care. I eventually get the deal I want. It might not be at the dealer around the corner, and I might waste a ton of time getting there, but it gets done. Never have I called them scum for not selling me a car though. They just lost my business.

Well, since last I checked, forums like this were created for people looking to “defeat” the dealers.
That is the whole reason of this site. Also, scum and villainy is a pop culture reference, if you do not get it, well, there is nothing I can do there. Cheers

Try another dealer. Jerkoff offers like this (not even invoice…wtf…) usually mean nothing but headaches ahead.
I don’t know man. I am kinda with @mp11477 on this.
IMO, you seem to be slightly over dramatic about this “lack” of a deal. There are a ton of dealers in this country with a X3.
Every dealer cannot and might not want to offer 20%. It’s their discretion. If you feel you can negotiate more, then go elsewhere.
Why don’t you ask them how they came up with 754 and what the heck all those fees are?
900$ dealer fee…geez.
