My First time on this board. The local BMW dealer has a * 545i (loaded with all options - sport, premium, cold weather). * Metallic Silver with Grey Leather * 45,000 Miles Seems to drive fine. He wants 33K for it (and I believe the vehicle has extended maintenance for 100K miles as well). Is this a good deal or should I try to bargain him down further? I am also a bit confused between the 545i from the 05 vintage vs later year 530i (I think the 530's are a couple of grand more). Is the V8 worth buying a earlier year model as compared to the 530s? Is the Inline 6 much more reliable than the V8? Thanks in advance!

Replying to: volvomax (Oct 30, 2008 12:51 pm)  . But in all seriousness, I knew it was sub 20, just wanted to confirm as I have seen some varying pricing. My guess is there are realistic people and people that are probably underwater based on some other issues (our awesome economy). Heres hoping gas dumps to sub 2 bucks and SUVs become attractive again.

Replying to: kylechoffman (Oct 31, 2008 6:56 am) It's already happening. So far, we have sold 6 used XC90's this month. So, people are coming back to SUV's. Party due to the price of gas,but also partly due to the fact that SUV's are steals right now. Frankly, I don't see the prices, trade in or retail going up again. |

Replying to: bachelier (Oct 30, 2008 9:18 pm) You should really get all the research done possible before buying a V8, 4 y.o., 45K mile bmw. Somewhat OT, I just saw a pic of a "BMW E61 patrolcar of the German Federal Police" on Wikapedia.....very cool. |

Thinking of making an offer. Alaska, 1 owner trade-in, non certified. Dealer asking $18,000 Reg. cab, short bed, 4x4 6,500 miles SLT,TRX Off Road pkg. 5.7 Hemi Auto limited slip fog lights 17" alloy wheels ABS Very good-excellent cond. Thinking a reg. cab not being in high demand may factor in offer. What would be a good offer or starting point for negotiations? Thanks
