#11496 of 11920 CPO 2008 335i Sedan - good deal? by eppisgood

Nov 20, 2011 (10:25 pm)

Black/Beige
31k miles
Premium Package
Sport Package with Paddle Shifters
Split Rear Seats
Heated Front Seats
Navigation
iPod/USB Adapter
 
Listed for $30,000 even. The same car (minus split rear seats but with the comfort access system) is going for similar prices at http://www.bmwusa.com CPO inventory search. Been listed for sale for a few weeks.
 
Carfax says it is a lease return and was purchased in Newport Beach, CA. A few months before the current dealer put it up for sale it was serviced by Valencia BMW (computer reprogrammed, fuel injector replaced, recommended maintenance performed, oil & filter changed) ... not sure if that was the lease end inspection or not.
 
About a year ago my friend purchased the same car (minus the split seats but with the comfort access system) but year 2007, for $28k at Berkeley BMW. I offered $27k and the salesman said they wouldn't budge, said they were only making $500 profit, but that he'd look into what could be done and would call me tomorrow. I won't buy it for $30k as there are a few other CPO's without the split & heated seats going for $28k (that have black or grey interior, which I prefer). Think I should stick to my $27k?

#11497 of 11920 First BMW, first lease by sartorial23

Nov 22, 2011 (11:28 am)

White 2011 328xiT
6400 miles (loaner fleet for 10 months)
Premium, cold weather, value pkgs.
Navigation
Sirius w/ 1 year sub
black roof rails
Heated steering
 
Before any negotiating, the dealer offered a selling price of $41,500 (KBB has the suggested retail from a dealer at $43,285 with these options and miles). I asked for him to put in the security deposits that I have read about on this forum which would total $3,500. At 10k miles per year and an adjusted residual amount of $28,730, my monthly payment would be $483.62 + tax.
 
-Does anyone have experience leasing a loaner? Is it just a bad idea to start with?
-Does this being a loaner have any impact on whether or not I should go with the security deposits?
-How does this deal sound and where should I look to negotiate if much room at all?

I'm not really familiar with the market for that car, but leasing a service loaner can be a very good deal, if the price is low enough...
 
Forget what the retail number from KBB is... Find out the original MSRP, and see what sort of discount you are receiving, relative to a brand-new car..
 
Service loaner has no impact on MSDs... No reason not to use that program.
