OK, on a 2007 335i sport/premium/nav, MSRP of $47,395.00 I've got MF 0.00180, residual 61%, 36 months, 0 down, 0 security, 15K miles/year, total drive off $1666.79 = $625 acq fee + $45 doc fee + 1st payment + $354.75 taxes + $48.44 sales tax up front. Monthly payment is 638.60. Good or not so good? |

Hi, I am negotiating with a dealer to buy a used 2006 BMW 325i with 7500 miles on it. The car has premium package on it. It was imported in MArch 2006 and was sold to first owner right after. Later it was sold in an auction and has been with the dealer for three months. The car is in excellent shape and I have test driven it. Dealer's asking price for the car is $30,300 plus tax. He is taking care of the title and there is no hidden cost other than this. Does this seem to be a reasonable price?. I was planning on going max. to $30,000 since the negotiation started at $31,450. Will appreciate your inputs! Thanks.

| I'm thinking of purchasing a 335i Sedan...white ext./beige int. The MSRP of the vehicle is $48,515. Wihtout asking I've received one dealer who will discount the car $2500. Does anyone know what the true bottom line will be on this vehicle? In other words the best I can expect. Is a $3000 discount or more possible? Thank you for any help you can offer. | |

Replying to: equest (Nov 26, 2006 9:25 am) What did you decide to do? Buy at that price? Deal further? I've got a friend in GA (not too far from a number of SC dealerships) who'd be very happy to benefit from your advice on where the "market" price of 328's is right now. |

I have been attempting to negotiate the MSRP on a 07 335i coupe 6m. I requested the Montego blue w/cream/beige int. with optional packages as follows: cold weather, sports and premium packages, too include, the comfort access and the parking sensors. I contacted 3 different dealers within my region and it is concurred that the car is pre-sold and needs to be ordered. Between the 3 different dealers, they are not budging from the MSRP of appox. 47k. A dealer did quote a price of appox $650 under MSRP. Another dealer even had the audacity to tell me that this included floor mats and a Teflon paint finish. As I told him that I could care less about the floor mats (appox $125) and the Teflon finish. This dealer also commenced to inform me about lifetime loaner cars and miscellanous extras, which I have no regard for as far as negotiating the MSRP.  My first question is: Since a dealer is ordering the car does that not leave room for negotiating the MSRP? The second question is: How should I begin to get the dealer to start decreasing the MSRP?

Replying to: iiask (Jan 06, 2007 4:07 pm) contact internet sales at those dealerships via email. Give them the exact equipment, invoice price and the amount over invoice you will pay. Also, consider checking areas outside of where you live. If you are within a state or two of CA consider contacting No Cal, AZ and So Cal dealers. They'll deal. BMWs are common commodities and nothing special. They are not sought after and are BMW's equivalent of the Honda Accord - the bread and butt car for the company. |

I am sure this topic has been discussed before, but I could not find this in the recent months. It seems to me that most people lease. Is this because: 1. trade for a new car every 3 years 2. leasing is cheaper overall than paying cash 3. leasing is cheaper overall than financing I have always paid cash for my cars. I was wondering if it makes more sense to lease if I consider the opportunity cost.
