Replying to: kyfdx (Sep 17, 2004 9:11 am) 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.

Replying to: bigb0b (Sep 17, 2004 11:53 am) It sounds like a nice one, but ANY '03 325i should be under $30K by now...   I didn't buy mine CPO, but there was one at a dealer in Dayton back in December.. almost the same exact equipment.. BMWNA car, CPO as well.. It was offered to me for $31K even.. That was 9 months ago... I think $28K was a fair offer, and I'm surprised that didn't bring a counter offer under $30K.. Oh well... lots of cars out there...   Good luck! kyfdx Replies to this message: bigb0b (Sep 17, 2004 12:32 pm) kyfdx (Sep 17, 2004 12:49 pm) scgilber (Oct 04, 2004 1:04 pm) kyfdx (Oct 04, 2004 1:09 pm) cartalk (Oct 04, 2004 1:20 pm) scgilber (Oct 04, 2004 1:32 pm) kyfdx (Oct 04, 2004 1:40 pm)

BMWNA sells those corporate cars at a closed dealer auction.. They aren't necessarily all that cheap, but they are some of the nicer units you'll find.... that is where my car came from as well... Atlanta auction..   regards, kyfdx

Replying to: kyfdx (Sep 17, 2004 12:07 pm) Thanks for the feedback.   I've done a fair bit of homework on these cars, but when they acted like I was trying to steal it from them, I started to second guess myself. Replies to this message: kyfdx (Sep 17, 2004 12:49 pm)

Replying to: bigb0b (Sep 17, 2004 12:32 pm) Yeah.. I've gotten that, also... I had a salesman at the local dealer actually refuse to take an offer below asking price on a CPO Z4.   My local BMW dealers sometimes have cars for months and months.. Maybe they think they just look good sitting out front... I don't get it, and I try to be realistic about price..   But, I could be wrong..

Replying to: dkman (Sep 17, 2004 9:00 am) I did the very same thing this week with Autobahn on a 2005 -- and, like you, had a hard time believing in the price (perhaps being in Houston with its overly high prices have something to do with it) -- but it does look legit to me as well --   I am trusting that nothing fishy happens -- let me know if it does -- and I'll do the same
#2115 of 9245 Dealer incentives by storm007 Sep 17, 2004 (5:03 pm)
Im interested in buying a 2004 325xi or 330xi. Does anyone know if the dealer incentives apply to xis?   Also are there ever any incentives in the first few months of a new model year (ie 2005)? (in case I decide to wait). Replies to this message: richz (Sep 17, 2004 5:59 pm) richz (Sep 17, 2004 6:03 pm) paule (Sep 17, 2004 9:38 pm)

Replying to: storm007 (Sep 17, 2004 5:03 pm) Storm, the incentives do apply to the xis because I was negotiating with a dealer this past week on a 2004 330xi. They did try to pull a fast one on me at first by quoting me a price of 41,000 on a MSRP 43,000 car. I just looked at him funny and the salesman went back and said oh my manager didn't know about the rebates...yeah, right. Replies to this message: richz (Sep 17, 2004 6:03 pm)

Replying to: richz (Sep 17, 2004 5:59 pm) Also, did you actually find any 04 325xis and 330xis with dealers? If you did, where are you located because I checked every dealer in the metro Detroit area and the 325xis have been long gone.

Replying to: storm007 (Sep 17, 2004 5:03 pm) I'm not finding any incentives on 2005 325xi's. I actually just ordered one today. After getting screwed around by one dealer (tacked on $500 at the last minute for doc fees and the like), I went to his competitor across town who honored his word. I ended up ordering the car exactly as I wanted it for $1,040 over invoice (including drive off plate and their doc fees). That was definitely the best deal I was going to get. I was working (requested quotes from) 8 different dealers.
