When I was looking for a car, I got the impression that they were sitting pretty with their inventory. They had me right where they wanted me. The place I bought wanted to sell cars and weren't cagy about it. Go figure. If you look at all the vehicles that have expired listings on ebay and didn't sell it makes you wonder. The dealers will not allow themselves to believe that the market has tanked. They have way too much money in these cars and are paralyzed. I think they expect things to turn around soon and the old days will be back. Unfortunately the wait may be measured in years not months. The housing market may be a harbinger. We have a 380k house in our neighborhood on the market for 250k and no one's buying.

Here's the deal we got in the Twin Cities:
 
2009 328i xdrive sportwagon, premium package, with almost every option except adaptive cruise control.
 
MSRP: 51,620
Invoice: 47,475
Agreed upon price: 48,980
Upfront charges: 3,190 (doc fee, acq fee, taxes at 6.5 %, 1st months payment)
Customer cash: 5,500
Residual: 58%
36 months, 15,000mi/year
MF: .00215 (Note: we're not previous owners, buy rate was .00200 which they agree to use but the sec. dep. was waived for a slightly higher MF rate.)
Monthly payment: $649.05
Plus two free key chains--not that we need them with comfort access, but it was a nice touch.
 
Hope this info is helpful to others as they negotiate. This forum was invaluable to us we tried to find the best deal we could.

These are great suggestions for researching used car prices. I'll add that you shouildn't be limited to X miles so set the distance search parameter to "All" for this. Even if you won't travel more than some distance to buy (that distance depends on you) but you will get a better sense of what the broader regional or even US-wide market has available for sale and at what price.
.
You might also find someone who has license to buy from auctions, and that you can trust, as a source of info and maybe access to more cars.

Am looking to buy a 2008 335 in the next couple of weeks. Wondering if anybody in the Bayarea is interested in a new bmw too. We could team up and gain a bit more leverage. Please PM me if interested.

2009 Lease Offers by gator5000e

Looks like the BMW web site now has 2009 lease offers listed. Has anyone evaluated any of the 3 series coupe/convertible offers to see if they are reasonable (such as residual/MF, etc)? Thanks (and I didn't see a leasing forum section).
