#11374 of 11924 2009 328xi - good deal? by sirius9

May 12, 2011 (10:57 pm)

Looking at a 2009 328xi automatic black/black sedan with 36k miles for ~$25k (not including tax). Clean carfax, 1 owner, had maintenance at 20k miles and 35k miles. Hesitant cuz of the mileage - thoughts? Anything I should look for specifically when I check it out? TIA.
  
p.s. - Carfax shows floor mats were installed twice at the beginning of the life of the car for some reason. Non-CPO cuz it's at a VW dealer (was previously leased from BMW, then a trade-in to VW). Brakes and tires are original.

#11376 of 11924 Question about the Extended Maintenance program by amrhalem

May 21, 2011 (11:14 am)

Just got 2008 528i CPO with 31K on it, the car got extend warranty until 2013 and now being offered Extended maintenance program until 2013 ( 2 years ) for $1950 ( discounted from $2300), the program will cover everything except the Entrainment system and NAV. The Dealer Service Person recommended as none of the brakes were replaced and he told me a it would cost$1800 beside all Oils, belts and normal services , etc.. , I am planning to drive a 25K a year on this car, any advice if his numbers are correct?

Sounds high. I'm guessing it doesn't cover oil changes or regulalry scheduled services.
 
Ok let's say that you need one set of brake pads for four tires. Find out ho much that would be with parts and labor by calling the Service dept. I would also check what the regularly scheduled service intervals say for replacement if certain parts. Otherwise you are laying 2K fir the security of knowing most things would be covered if hey break.

Hi. I appreciate any help. Looking to get this car as soon as possible, based on some help on the below.
 
I am looking to lease a new 335i convertible. Estimated msrp of $62,000. What are the numbers like? I am looking for automatic, 34 months, 10,000 miles yearly. Looking to know best lease prices. What is the residual value on the car and what is the money factor? And what is a good deal for this car based on the msrp. I don't know how far to push the dealer. Can it go lower than invoice price? Is it 8% off msrp, 10%, 12 %? Thanks again

it does cover oil changes or regulalry scheduled services which is per the service dept $180 per time, the break around $1800.
it covers all parts and labor but the NAV and CD player.
 
so he basicslly was saying i would break even after doing both(brakes + 1 service )
is it true the brakes cost that much?

That would be a great price, I believe it is below dealer cost, let me know if you get that deal. I would think 44,700-45,000

Wow, my dealer(Swope BMW, Louisville KY) charges less than $110 for an Oil Service on my wife's X3, and a four wheel brake job was less than $1000.
