#7622 of 10323 328i Coupe in LA by poorprof Apr 05, 2007 (10:56 pm)
Hi all:   I am shopping for a 328i coupe with Premium, metalic silver and auto trans (MSRP roughly $41,000). I have talked to 3 dealers and one who is the Costco program dealer. The best I have been able to get is $1500 off MSRP ($1850 through costco). What should I be looking for? They all claim this is as good as it gets.

Replying to: realcrapper (Apr 05, 2007 9:07 am) For what it's worth I agree BMW cannot roll the security deposit in the cap cost..there would be little or no incentive for them to do so..it would increase the bank's guidelines for advance (which is 120% of MSRP keep in mind that 120% must include TTL and any extras one would add in the F&I office) and what if indeed your car did become a total loss and the GAP paid the difference of market value and what was owed to the bank including a 3500+ security deposit that you think should be refunded to you? You could see how there are some who would take advanatage of the loophole all day long..I too wanted to add as much to my cap cost as possible (it is why I drove my MSRP up to 44750 (just added satelitte) to take advantage of cap cost and my salesman told me to not to put any more than drive off down about low 900's and throw everything else to security deposits..   As an aside Blue Guy, did you ever have a VW Jetta 1.8t? I think I remember your name from those boards? I had a 02 VW Jetta 1.8t (really ended up not liking that car because of the turbo -- it's what stopped me from getting a 335i til this day -- though I know there is no comparsion to BMW's technolgy and twin turbo..) still it would be funny if you were there and now here..I might have to write you in 09 when my 07 BMW 328i lease expires and see what we are getting next.. Ha, ha.   Real, John and Isabella thanks alot for writing and thinking I got a good deal on my current lease.. Really your approval does mean a lot to me..you can have a deal and think you did good, but it is so nice to get validated from those in the know.   Donna Replies to this message: blueguydotcom (Apr 06, 2007 10:01 am)

Replying to: donnabgood1 (Apr 06, 2007 9:51 am) I had an 01 Jetta 1.8T. I sold it in 03 and replaced it with an 03 BMW 330i.   Just dropping my 06 330i now for a 2007 Cooper S.
#7626 of 10323 Just took delivery of my 328i S by jim_beam Apr 07, 2007 (9:12 pm)
Just got my 328i S this afternoon from BMW Mountain View. Auto, Premium and metallic color. Sale price was 35760 + TTL.   This forum really helped me in my research. If anybody wants the name/phone number of my SA, PM me.   This is my first BMW ever. I am absolutely loving it Replies to this message: obrientwo (Apr 09, 2007 7:56 pm) sactokenn (Apr 10, 2007 7:03 pm) obrientwo (Apr 11, 2007 9:13 am)
#7627 of 10323 Question on a 2000 328ci by stevehecht Apr 07, 2007 (9:39 pm)
http://www.bostoncars.us/static/cars/PRIVATE%20PARTY_2000_BMW_328ci_Stock_Coupe%- - 20P02030/car.JPG   This URL is a photo of a 2000 328ci with 89K miles, and the owner is asking $14,950. This private party is selling it through a very reputable used foreign car service down the road from me. Assuming the maintenance and service records check out and the service manager tells me good things, does this kind of purchase ever make sense? I'm thinking I wouldn't pay over $12.5 for it if I wanted it. Normally I would never consider buying a car with almost 90K miles on it. But it would be my second driver, my fun car, and I would not be driving it daily by any means. I think it's a beautiful car, and maybe it's an inexpensive entry into bimmerland for me. How long could I reasonably expect to drive this car this way if it's well maintained? What kind of repairs/maintenance might I be looking at?

Replying to: stevehecht (Apr 07, 2007 9:39 pm) I can only comment on the price.. I think your idea of $12,500 would be all the money..   I wonder, though... Those wheels are the 68M model.. Those were standard on 330i Sport models. I don't recall seeing them on a 328Ci.. which is not really important... It just makes me wonder if the car has the whole sport package, including the sport seats.   The picture sure looks good.. is it a stick-shift?   Wondering about future costs?

Replying to: stevehecht (Apr 07, 2007 9:39 pm) Steve, I think the picture says it's a nice car but your next step is to feel the car live. Check the car with a reliable mechanic and remember, some cars have hidden damage caused by flooding, etc. Use your five senses.   This would be a very good car for the price. You would do well to consider maintenance costs. You might want to invest in a maintenance contract.   Regards, OW Replies to this message: stevehecht (Apr 08, 2007 8:05 pm)
#7630 of 10323 Planning on leasing a 328i or 328xi for 36mths/12K by jammmieus Apr 08, 2007 (8:45 am)
I am in the market for a 3 year/12k mile lease on a 328i or 328xi(with Auto, Premium and Cold Weather). What is the April base money factor and residual value? I am receiving conflicting info from dealers in my area... Also what would be a good deal in NJ without much down payment. Replies to this message: pjo1966 (Apr 08, 2007 4:19 pm)
