Bought a 335xi on Saturday, MSRP 46250, paid right around invoice, which I think was 43000. Pittsburgh area(Monroeville) dealership. They gave me $2500 more for my trade that the dealership in the city. My trade was a Saab 9-3, little advice - dont EVER buy one.

Amen! Had a '95 Saab Turbo Coupe (Blk/Tan) that was immaculate and I couldn't give it away in Atlanta when I was shopping for my 1st MB CLK. Had to sell it up north - and this was before GM got it's grubby hands on them. Told myself I would NEVER buy a car again that depreciated at that rate... also will never own a car that someone would not want to own as a used car, hence my current '03 530SP. Bought it new and may drive it until the wheels fall off... splendid ride!

I think the 19" wheels & Aero kit 335i is gone now. I found that one and other good 3-series from the Luxury Motors website (same domain name as the company name). That car was in the Chicago area. I think that company is still selling some good 3-series (there is a 2007 328i wagon selling for $26K).

Saabs by r34

I had 3 Saabs (2001 9-3 base, 2001 9-5 Aero, and a 2002 9-3 SE). They are not that bad. The 9-5 Aero is the best. I am still driving the 9-3SE. I drove the newer 9-3 and 9-5 but I still like the older Saab. Too bad. I think I probably trade in the Saab for a Bimmer.

CPO question by r34

If I buy a CPO loaner from the dealer, how long will the CPO warranty last? There is no original delivery date because nobody actually bought the vehicle.
 
Is there a package that I can buy to extend the "free" maintenance beyond the original 4-year warranty period?
 
Thanks.

Even a loaner has an in-service date... That's when the warranty starts ticking..
 
You can buy an extension to the maintenance program to match the CPO limits... Figure around $1500..

$1500? Is it worth? 3 oil changes, spark plugs, and a brake job?

It depends on how much you drive... Will you get close to 100K miles before the 6 years is up? Or, will you only drive about 70K?
 
Brake job? A brake job on my CR-V with new rotors is about $600.. Multiply that by at least 1.5 for a BMW..
 
Inspection II at 60K miles? Figure $600-$800 for that..
 
Oil service at 75K? $125, most likely..
 
Inspection I at 90K? Another $300..
 
If the car weren't CPO, I wouldn't buy the extended maintenance, as that would give you the option to go independent for your service... but, if your warranty is with the dealer, and you'll put 90K on the car, then I'd buy the maintenance pkg, as well..
 
It's a tough choice, though... $1500 is a lot.. I'm not sure I'm right.. just my opinion..
 
regards
