Sounds nice.. just like mine, except I have Xenons, heated seats, and I don't have the PDC.
 
ia... i = fuel injection.. or at least it used to... now, it is just something they put on every car.
 
a = automatic
 
I'm surprised that one doesn't have heated seats up there in Michigan.. I doubt any of the cars they order for dealer stock in that area are without it..
 
I see asking prices of similar cars here in Cincinnati at the dealer and CPO for $28,800 but they don't have the Sport package.. How much are they asking for it?
 
If that is the entire option list, that car MSRPed for right around $37,300 new.

If you assume the mats are $150 and a $200 MACO charge on the invoice, then you are paying about $1300 over dealer cost.. Not a bad deal, but you might be able to get $500-$1000 less at this time of year.. That is pretty much the standard option package, so it isn't like you are looking for a strange combination that is hard to find.. Of course, being the standard package, they won't have much trouble selling it either.. They aren't trying to rob you at that price.

What do you mean by "this time of year" on a 2005?

I don't know how they do that, but they have been running specials like that for months... I haven't heard anyone say that it isn't legitimate.
 
Almost makes me wish I lived in Texas.. nah.

So clearly there is some hidden incentive which BMW is offering on the 2005 325. Since this is the last year before the E90 comes out, I would have expected heavy discounting later in the year. But the discounting seems to have started much earlier!

I think it is just that one dealer.. I'm not sure how they do it.. But, if you go looking for that deal in other places, I think you'll come away disappointed.......

They have it listed at 31,995. I got out of the very new salesman that the car has been on the lot since June. When I asked him about the car's history, he told me that they bought it from BMW USA, so it was a corporate car. To me that means the probably got it pretty cheap (relatively speaking).
 
I offered 28,000 for it, and the lowest they would go is 31,000 (after several trips to the managers office). Obviously I just walked out.
