Yes, a dealership has the car. I have to travel something like 200 miles to get the car, so seeing it beforehand isn't really an option. I have got a couple of very good prices ...this being one of them, and I found an brand new 2005 Acura TSX 28 miles, A spec, manual... for 20425. Very much lower then what I could find around my area for sure. I may have to take your suggestion and have a BMW dealer run the VIN...carfax is completely clean. I saw 30 pics of the car...it looks immaculate.

Any Reason to Lease for over 3 years? by rick11

I'm considering buying a 330i. If I'm going to keep the car for over 3 years, is there any reason to consider leasing it instead? Everything I've read so far says that leasing is for people who want to turn the car over in 3 years or less.
 
Thanks.

is this a good deal?
325i MSRP 36,270.00
10k mile a year.
Due at signing 2000 (down) + 400 (security) + 500 (dealer fees) + 390.00 (monthly payment including tax etc.) = 3,290.00
Monthly paymen including tax etc. 390.00. Will this be a good deal?

I leased a 325ci from Brecht a month ago. I contacted the Internet department and was quoted $950 over invoice (I believe the non-convertible modules are $450 over invoice). They tried to mark up the money factor and acquisition fees but I got these reduced during negotiations.
I would also check with Beverly Hills BMW with an Internet request. Be careful with a bait and switch if you decide to purchase from them, I have heard they give you a very low quote via e-mail, but then add on extras when you come to purchase. If you are negotiating via phone or e-mail, request the final payment and drive offs before going to the dealer, if the numbers change, walk.

Just want to make sure that the MACO listed by a dealer was not excessive -- anybody know how much it is in the SoCal area for 3 series?
 
Thanks

Internet - BMW Dealer Viewpoint by sueatopt

In regard to low-balling - every dealer does it. In order to look lower next to the next guy. I get tons of people that email - just send a quote on BMW whatever. "I'm just looking for a quote." Why are you calling me? they say. I want just email, Hello people... you actually need to speak to a warm body most often, to get the 411. A quote is such a VAGUE term - anybody could quote a base car with no options in a manual, and then when you show up - "oh well... Internet Mgr, emailed me that...you wanted a quote on 325i and I gave you one.. it is called getting you in the door... then I add on premium, auto, heated seats, metallic, etc..does not include security, bank fee, tax, 1st month,> It's perceived that the car is that low. We want you to show up, and sell you an actual car. If you ask for a quote with a navigation car..chances are it has other options in it. Most cars with Nav. will have this and that in it. Occasionally, you'll find a car just with nav and leatherette, but be real it might need to be a factory order (10 WEEKS MAYBE). This car may be in CA. and you are in NY - be flexible.,
 
Listen...a quote is easy, anybody can do that - we might not have a car equipped that way, but..you'll get a low-ball quote from most dealers.. ask for the availability of the car. Ask questions, take calls from Internet People - put the correct phone info in so we can actually speak to you - alot of dealers will not take you seriously until they hear a voice. I have just recently found myself on both ends - buying a car, etc..I put in my real phone # and ruled out several dealers by just speaking with them. Sometimes it has to be a gut feeling, by talking. Everyone is offended when you call - as if...I am being intrusive when all I want to do is my job and do it honestly and straight-forward and actually assist you and sell you a car perhaps> And not LOW-BALL like the next guy. Car business is not all scammers - there are some legit - people out there. but with High-Line cars it's hard - don't expect to go under invoice, over invoice by $500, etc. It is a BMW!! - try and be real!! The price will only go sooo low!! Sorry for sounding off.& please actually go somewhere close to you and DRIVE THE CAR - MAKE SURE YOU EVEN LIKE IT BEFORE YOU PUT IN QUOTE REQUESTS FOR 10 BMW Dealers, when all you really desire is a Mercedes.
 
Thanks! and good luck!

BMW will be moving from the 325/330 configuration to the 328/335 configuration with the 2007 model year. Many buyers are holding off for the 2007. On the other hand, if you are looking for a good price on a 2006, this is a good time to buy. Dealers in Chicago are offering $500 over invoice. Don't listen to the last poster, buying a car should be like buying a refrigerator, regardless if its a Kia or BMW.
