I saw an ad in a local paper that says this dealer is offering new 2008 328 sedans for $31,888 and 3.9% financing for 60 months. Features listed are: Automatic transmission Remote keyless entry Sunroof Wood trim Alloy wheels Dynamic Stability Control So, it sounds like the only "option" is automatic and these cars would have unheated leatherette seats, non-metallic paint, no bluetooth and the basic stock radio. The ad says 7 are available at that price and it's in Northern California. I calculate: It would be about $34,700 after tax, license and doc fee. If I weren't going to put down any money the monthly payment would be about $637 a month for 60 months. If I wanted payments under $500 a month, I'd need to put down about $7400 in cash and/or trade equity. I'll have to check with my insurance agent to find the latest insurance rates so I could calculate my total monthly costs. I'll also need to check on what I can expect to pay for tire replacements. At least the base tires should be less expensive than the Sport Package tires. I'm more likely to get a lower priced car than a new BMW, but I'm curious about this. Is there anything fantastic about this advertised special or should there be better deals available now?

I recently purchased a 2008 335i Convertible with steptronic, heated seats, Sirius, comfort access, rear backup option , navigation, BMW assist w/bluetooth. The exterior is white with red sun reflective leather on the inside! I paid $51,195.00. Was this a good deal? I appreciate any feedback.

Replying to: jaxs1 (May 10, 2008 6:57 pm) Seems like a good deal with minimal haggling. I checked the Costco special at another dealer and it was $500 over invoice. I might have taken it, but they didn't have the color or equipment I wanted in stock and could not find one in their locater computer. They told me the car I told them I saw at another dealer must have already been sold. I went back to the first dealer and checked the lot again and the car was still sitting there. The ad special was even less than the Costco price, so it all worked out. |
