Yes, the extended maintenance is what i meant. 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.

09 328xi advice please by mck9235

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!

Am I getting a good deal? by houston328i

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.

You are buying a demo, i.e., a used car. It should be priced accordingly.
 
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.

This sounds about right - however, since the 335d does not qualify for the 1.9% financing, you could try to wiggle out another 1K. Please note that the discount on the diesel X5 is much more (perhaps 8K).

I was not able to get quite this good of a deal on a 335d. I am still waiting.

Yeah this is my first BMW and I just feel like i'm getting a lot of BS back and forth I've never leased before and I've never put any down-payment on a car and have been more than satisfied with my final payment on *new* purchases. Would you know what I should be expecting to pay monthly then?
I want to buy or lease a 2009 328i base model.

low 400s.
 
read up about leases and bmw money factor. the more knowledge you have the better you will feel. i didn't know much about leases either until i thought about leasing a car.
