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.
 
Yep, the ad calls them "staggered M rims" and does mention the car has both premium sport packages. And it has brand new Michelin Pilot Sports, 225/45 front and 245/40 rear.
 
.. is it a stick-shift? Yep, it is.
 
I think your idea of $12,500 would be all the money
 
Does that mean you think that's an appropriate price for this car?

Are you saying that the asking price of $14,950 is already a good price, or my idea to lower it to ~$12,500? My research doing comparisons on the web indicates that their asking price is already pretty darn good.
 
The place that's brokering this private sale is right down the road from me and have a very good reputation. I'd probably be using them for maintenance service. To get an idea of their operation and staff, they're at: http://www.bostoncars.us/
 
I don't know anything about maintenance contracts for older cars/BMWs. Where do I start to look into that? Any suggestions about good contracts out there?

I don't think the car is worth much more than $12,500.. maybe, it will bring more than that.. but, I wouldn't pay it..
 
While the miles aren't necessarily high for the model year, 89K is still 89K..
 
Otherwise, the car has all the right equipment. You'll need winter tires and rims, if you plan on driving in inclement weather..
 
I'd get it inspected, but with that age and mileage, I doubt you'll find a cost effective warranty.

FYI, the car was sold Easter weekend for the asking price. That's OK, I've got my eye on a 1999 328 coupe for $12,900 with 83K miles in North Carolina on the BMWCCA website (I just joined). But I'll be renting a new 325i coupe for the day on Wednesday to see if I can satisfy my BMW craving for $100 one day per month instead of buying the thing.

Purchase off of Lease End Help by jaschwar
Apr 09, 2007 (9:26 am)

I am looking to purchase my 2004 330xi with premium package and automatic off of lease end this week. The lease buyout price is 26,150, the MSRP was $44,000 in 2004, and was based off of a total of 36k miles. However, I only have 25k miles on the car.
My issue is that I have seen on these boards that people have had success purchasing it from the dealer as opposed to BMW Financial Services and in some cases based off of the MMR (Manheim Auction Cost) as opposed to the lease buyout price.
 
Can anybody here give me some guidance relevant to how to do this, whether this is a good price, and how I could find out what the actual MMR price is on my own before I get to the dealer?
 
Also, the dealer is giving me conflicting info associated with updating it to CPO status and the pricing to do it and/or buying a maintenance contract. Any idea what the price SHOULD be for those two options?
 
Thanks

Here is the best example I've found of someone doing this...
 
CPO MMR deal
 
You can read on down the thread to see replies, etc...
 
It looks like it takes a willing dealer who will help you out for just a small profit..
 
regards,
