Hi all. I'm new to the BMW shopping scene, so I'll ask forgiveness in advance if some of this repeated questions. I've been looking at certified used 325i's in the Portland, OR area. One of the local dealerships has some pretty nice looking ones, but the prices seem a little high. I know that the resale on 325i's are supposed to be excellent, but with the 2006's being entirely redesigned, I would have figured the resale value would have been hurt a little. Could someone take a few minutes to look at these offerings and tell me what a reasonable price might be? These prices seem to be atleast 3-5k off base. 2005 325i 18k This one list for the same price it would have cost new, according to edmunds (31-33k) 2004 325i 12k Looks like a nice low-mileage 2004 with alot of options. Price again seems high. 2003 325i 21k Seems like the best deal of the 3, but still seems a little high. Thanks in advance for any help! Chris

If you are planning on financing, consider the 2003 has 3.9% for up to 60 months through BMWFS. (No special rates for 04 or 05.) Just giving you some food for thought... |

06 330xi premium steptronic cold weather sirius prep green metallic 44070 MSRP 40395 Invoice I offered 41000 Dealer responded e-mail - that is not unreasonable, which sounds like a sales tactic to me. I think the 41 would be a great deal if I can get it, anybody doing any better than this...

Replying to: bdr127 (Dec 27, 2005 9:09 pm) didn't want to kill it with a no frigging way. let's just say he didn't say my offer was accepted. exact words were the price you offered was not unreasonable, i think we may be able to work something out. i went on their website, dealer down the street, went through their inventory and made an offer - above was the response. not so much a tactic - as the first response in let's make a deal.

Replying to: calif65gm (Dec 27, 2005 11:21 pm) i wouldn't be surprised if they don't want to see another $500 out of me. now the decision to be made. i have an offer on the table for a g35x,(prem, sirius, splash guards, trunk mat, 1 year service free) for $100 over invoice - $34.6. the question for me, am i gonna love the bmw for $7K for more over the life of the car? i know it is a personal thing and determined by the drive. any last thoughts from anyone here?
