Replying to: dhanley (Aug 03, 2009 9:47 am) I'd think you could sell your '97 for $2500-$4000 pretty easily, if you really want to get rid of it.. Maybe more, depending on condition, options, mileage, color, etc... regards, kyfdx

Hi all, Thought It would share my buying experience... Just got my first BMW, a 2009 328i, 7/27/09! 2009 328i sedan (base) black w/tan interior + automatic transmission + power front seats w/driver memory + floor mats Sticker/MSRP = $36,745 Sale Price (including dest. fees, discounts, everything but tax and tag) = $33889.95 (This is about $20 under invoice, and $200 less than the TMV price, which includes the free automatic transmission credit) Tax = $1873.79 License / Doc Stamp = $157.25 I put $10k down to keep the monthly payments under control... also traded in a clunker for an additional $3500 credit. So, $13500 down total. Financed $22,420.99 over 60 mos  1.9% apr = $392/mo! Was hoping to keep the payments nice and low... should have some equity in the car when time comes to trade around the time the warranty runs out. Leasing was not an option for me as I put too many miles on the car. Love the car so far, even though its a "base" model... The deal almost fell apart at one point but I'm glad I saw it through (especially since the base model 2010's no longer come with the power sunroof, apparently!) Given the numbers above and thanks to this forum I feel like I got a good deal, hope you guys agree. Hope this helps potential buyers.

Replying to: kyfdx (Aug 03, 2009 7:25 pm)  I do remember it being much cheaper just a few years ago. Then, it seemed like a screaming deal. Now, it might be something to pass on if i've just had inspection 2 and brakes done.... I'll just see how it goes. I did purchase the wheel/tire insurance as well as 4 years of paintless dent repair. Based on my record with the e36, i am a ding magnet, and the doors of the e90 can only exacerbate that. If someone offered me $4000 for my 328i i'd take it in a second. But it's got 153K miles, ratty/torn seats, ~20 door dings, several rust spots, and someone keyed it recently.

I've been looking into the following: 2009 328xi with automatic, heated front seats, premium package, navigation, iPod, satellite radio and metallic paint. I've gotten quotes from the two local dealers (VOB & Passport in Maryland) and they are $40,995 and $40,790, respectively. Does this sound fair or is this there a lot more room to negotiate? As of yet I've simply asked for the quote, no real haggling. Am I missing any offers/incentives as well (this will be cash purchase, not financed or leased)? Any advice would be very much appreciated! |

This is what I was offered earlier this week -2009 BMW 328i (Base Model) -Alpine White -Tan leather (not leatherette) -Demo Vehicle with 7500 miles on it. Online the price of the vehicle was $32,991 (which I would assume is sticker price), but when I was "quoted" in store I was given $36,745.00 (Vehicle price) - 3,754.00 (Preferred customer discount) $32,991.00 (Selling price) I asked if this would be the lowest price I could get on the car and they were not willing to budge from the $32,991 stating that it was already deeply discounted. It qualifies for the new car rate of 1.9% since it technically hasn't been "owned" Since I was open to both leasing or purchasing I priced both options. -Leased with 1500 down and 36 mths at $598/mth -Purchase with 1500 down and 60 mths at $589/mth I have a feeling this is not the best deal I can get on this particular car, since the "preferred customer discount" was in place before I even stepped in the door, meaning the vehicle price=MSRP and selling price is well just that the "selling price/sticker price" Any suggestions? Comments? Thanks in advance. I would like purchase or lease this vehicle by the end of the week. |

Replying to: houston328i (Aug 05, 2009 9:41 pm) 7500 miles is a lot. The initial price they gave you 36,745, is MSRP. The selling price ($32,991.00) sounds awfully high to me, for a demo. |
