#1625 of 10323 Re: What's a used 2004 325i wagon worth? [kyfdx] by vee Jul 23, 2004 (12:17 pm)
Replying to: kyfdx (Jul 23, 2004 5:25 am) Thanks kyfdx,   After talking more with the bmw sales person here she is telling me the car was bought for one of their premier customers to drive around Europe while on a trip there. The dealership did that figuring they would turn it into a loaner car here. However, she doesn't think it has been established as a loaner car yet.   If they do offer to sell it to me for $31K and I decide to buy it would it be kind of outrageous to ask for something in writing as far as the history on the car?   When should I expect the warranty to start from?   Thanks for your help.   Aloha, V Replies to this message: kyfdx (Jul 23, 2004 12:26 pm) vee (Jul 23, 2004 1:36 pm) 307web (Jul 23, 2004 1:50 pm)

Replying to: vee (Jul 23, 2004 12:17 pm) Ask the dealer to pull a BMW vehicle history report.. This will give the in-service date, options, any service history and the expiration of the warranty and free maintenance. If the warranty is good for 3 months extra and a total of 55K miles, that will tell you it has been put in the service loaner/demo program.   The history report will not tell you if there has been any body work or paint work.. Even if BMW does this and notes it, it doesn't show up on the history report for six months. I found that out the hard way.   regards, kyfdx Replies to this message: vee (Jul 23, 2004 1:36 pm) 307web (Jul 23, 2004 1:50 pm)

Replying to: kyfdx (Jul 23, 2004 12:26 pm) Hi kyfdx,   Now the sales person is telling me the car is not really "used" because it hasn't been registered. It has the European plates on it and of course the mileage. They want $35,700 for it! I told her about our emails and she looked up Kelly Blue Book 2004 and came back with $34,815.   The odd thing is yesterday I ran the VIN check and it came up with one bit of info on it (I didn't purchase the detailed info on it). Now, today I ran the check again and it comes up but with zero info on it. I know I entered the same VIN number because the vehicle description was there.   On the tag that was in the window of the vehicle, with all the price info, etc., it says it was "sold to: Schneider.   The plot thickens!   V Replies to this message: 307web (Jul 23, 2004 1:50 pm)

Replying to: vee (Jul 23, 2004 1:36 pm) It's sleazy. Think about moving on to a different vehicle if the price isn't that great.

Yeah.. well, dealer demos, service loaners, executive cars.. whatever you want to call them.. are rarely worth what they want for them. The discount just never works out to be enough to make up for the mileage. Here, we have a car with an ED invoice price of about $31K, and they want to pull out Kelley Blue Book?   You would be better off buying a new one at that price.   I'm still not buying the premier customer thing.. I guess anything is possible.. And any car that has been delivered will have a BMW vehicle history report.. this one included. I would want to see it.   regards, kyfdx
#1630 of 10323 325 incentives for Aug'04 by sapphire1 Jul 24, 2004 (3:13 pm)
Hi,   Can anyone tell me what the 325 incentives for August '04 are?? I've heard on forums that its $1200 cash and 1.9% APR. Is that true for a buy too?   Thanks
#1631 of 10323 Convertible Interior Colors by topdownrookie Jul 24, 2004 (6:26 pm)
As someone who is looking to purchase his first convertible (a 325Cic), I have a rookie question that needs answering...   Does the color of the interior (which will be leather) really impact how hot it feels when the sun is beating down on you in 80-90% temps? Am I wrong to assume that black leather would feel hotter than a lighter color?   Also, how does a lighter color hold up over time when exposed to the elements and dirt/dust?

#1633 of 10323 help on M3 by m4d_cow Jul 24, 2004 (11:29 pm)

#1634 of 10323 Re: Convertible Interior Colors [topdownrookie] by kyfdx HOST Jul 25, 2004 (8:35 am)
Replying to: topdownrookie (Jul 24, 2004 6:26 pm) Leather exposed to the sun is going to be very hot on bare skin (i.e.: shorts wearers) no matter what the color. I doubt the black will be noticeably hotter than gray or sand (2nd degree vs. 3rd degree burns?). IMHO, black will wear better than sand or grey. Of course, it will show dust more, but hide shoe scuffs, etc. better.   regards, kyfdx
