#51 of 10319 is it a good deal? by pianoman2 Dec 01, 2002 (11:01 am)
I've found a 2001 330i CPO,5sp, sport, premium,cold weather, xenon, leather, 12K mi. The delaer won't let it go for less than 33K. Looking for feedback - is that a OK deal?
#52 of 10319 Looking for a BETTER deal in the Houston area! by e3r7r7 by nerd Dec 01, 2002 (5:30 pm)
It doesn't sound like a good deal to me based on what my wife paid for a comparably equipped '02 325Ci last February. How does the price compare with the MSRP?   If you want to get some competitive prices, I suggest to call Mike Pile BMW in Tyler and Garlyn Shelton BMW in Temple. My wife bought hers at Mike Pile.
#53 of 10319 RE: buying a 330 in the Boston area by fomentar Dec 02, 2002 (6:38 pm)
Cab7 - I am also shopping in the Boston area. I requested some internet quotes...so far the only dealership that responded (GalleryGroup)did not prepare a quote, but tried to have me come in and "speak" with them. I subsequently received a response from another "representative" from same dealership who indicated that the exact car I am looking for would be arriving in two weeks...interesting since the first "representative" said that the vehicle I was looking for was difficult to find unless ordered...still no quote.   Let me know if you have any better luck.
#54 of 10319 new 2002 deals on 3-series by bgt1 Dec 06, 2002 (6:27 am)
I heard most dealerships are offering deals on their new left over 2002 3-series.   Either 0% financing or 2.9% and approx $2500 off. I think both come out to about the same.   I think that is a pretty good deal considering there is almost no difference between the 2002 and 2003 model.   Any thoughts?

It was a 2002 model. I have spoken to a number of people who just bought BMW. Our common suggest is to shop outside the Houston area in order to find better deals. I drove 40 min to a BMW dealer in Clearlake and they would take $500 off the price before I even opened my mouth.
#56 of 10319 You CAN negotiate the price of BMW's by amagnus Dec 07, 2002 (4:16 pm)
The key is to work off the invoice price of the car, NOT the MSRP. Treat the MSRP as an imaginary number and ignore it entirely while negotiating the price of your car. I got a great deal on my '03 325xi outside of Boston (Wagner Motor Sales, the representative said this was a very slim profit deal for them). I was able to get the price down to less than $1000 over invoice. Sport Package XI Package Leather Bi-Xenon Moonroof Power/heated seats on board comp metallic paint All for only $34,700!!! I did not visit any dealerships. I faxed every dealership w/in an hour drive and told them I was interested in buying a car. Most ofthem called back within an hour with their best price. I let them know what my best offer currently was and let them see if they could match it. It helps to do this at the end of the month when dealerships are looking to meet quota's. Also the site fightingchance helps increibly! Best of luck in your negotiations!
#57 of 10319 Boston Area 330Xi by fomentar Dec 08, 2002 (5:28 am)
First quote received had price as follows:   2003 330Xi Steel Grey Metallic, Steptronic, Cold Weather, Premium, Sport, Bi-Xenon Quote $43,200   Invoice is $40,850 and quote translates into approx. 6% above invoice.
#58 of 10319 lease deal by jmezz Dec 08, 2002 (4:50 pm)
could anyone offer help. got lease price 39 months, 12k yr,418/mo with 1100 inception plus 4500.00 deposit which i get back at end of lease. sounds very good. how is 330xi is is better choice than 525 for only $30 more?
#59 of 10319 lease deal by bimmer12 Dec 09, 2002 (1:27 pm)
Jmezz- I was looking at your deal and $418/39 months $1100 down and it looks very attractive for a 330xi...are you sure this is correct, does this include tax, and what options do you have? What distrubs me when you have a good deal like that is the $4500 deposit...that is absurdly high and my guess is you won't be seeing that money back... If I were you, I would fax that deal w/o the $4500 to other dealers in the area to see if they will match...if no one will match, you know something is fishy about your deal...   So, the 525i is $30 more? This is more preference... The 525i is a lot more spacious and has a beautiful shape... the 330xi has a high perf engine, 4wd but is extremely tight in the back...If you are getting the 525i in stick or if performance is not a big deal, then go with the 5'er...otherwise, I think the 330 with 4wd (depending on location) is also a nice choice
#60 of 10319 deal is correct by jmezz Dec 09, 2002 (3:59 pm)
thanks for info bimmer12! the options on 330xi was just premium pkg and cold weather pkg list was about 39-40k. also maual trans. the 4500 is called a multiple security deposit(mercedes and lexus offer same) and that money is guaranteed to come back to me at the end of the lease in its entirety. it is not cap cost reduction. it is very beneficial to give them this"loan" because it saves you about $48.00 per month of the lease. these special prices are in effect until 12/31 then program could change. their rates are very good on 330 and 5 series.
