#9358 of 10297 2009 328i Sedan by Kymberlee Nov 22, 2008 (7:36 pm)
Hi Car Man...this is the first time I'm posting to this site. I went to Lauderdale BMW in Pembroke Pines, Florida today and test drove a 2009 328i Sedan. Since I'm a female, I always feel like they are trying to take advantage of me. However, I did do some homework (thanks to your website) on the money factors and residuals before I went and he was impressed that I new at least that much.   The specs of the car were: Premium Package, Steptronic/Automatic Transmission, 17" wheels (style285), and Space Gray Metallic.   I'm looking at a 36 mo. lease with 12,000 miles. He did quote me the correct -.00150 MF and 62% residual so I was happy about that.   The salesperson told me that they only mark up the cars approx. 6%. The MSRP on this car was $39,950 according to him and he agreed to knock of $1,500, leaving me with a net cost of $38,450.   When I priced this car on Edmunds, the TMV price was $38,756 and the Invoice price was $36,320. Therefore, my offer of $38,450 was lower than the the TMV price, however, it appears that others are paying $2,436 over invoice? In this type of market, I thought anywhere from $500.00 to $1,000 was what someone would be shooting for over invoice. Please help me understand--I'm a little confused.   Also, I was wondering why on BMW's website there is a charge for the metallic paint, however according to Edmunds there is virtually no charge.   I appreciate any advice you can offer.   Kim

Replying to: kirkinsd (Nov 22, 2008 5:59 pm) If the car is certified, that isn't a bad price.   Performance pkg is pretty desirable and it's a nice color.... That's probably a $24K car wholesale... so, a couple of thousand to certify it and a couple thousand profit.. Not sure you'll get one much cheaper than that..   For a comparison point, I'm turning my '05 330 convertible in tomorrow... 45K miles, with less equipment than that one.... and the residual is $30K..   regards, kyfdx

Replying to: kirkinsd (Nov 22, 2008 5:59 pm) I actually think it is a bit overpriced; especially in today's economy. I guess they don't need the business. Maybe they will come back to you, but if not, you'll find another one.   Just my two cents...   Stacy 2004 330i/w performance package, 6-spd, alcantara, hk, cold weather package, etc... LOVE IT!!!

Replying to: kirkinsd (Nov 22, 2008 5:59 pm) The dealer let me walk at $28,400. I feel like they can go down a little more. They're pushing their teflon (wax job imho) and the Lojack as a couple grand. I have no choice on those they say.   That mop and glow as well as the Lojack represent nothing but pure profit for the dealer. I wouldnt buy a new car with that junk- never mind a used or CPO car. Find another E46.
#9364 of 10297 2006 325i CPO by sms7 Nov 24, 2008 (5:39 pm)
I am looking for a 2006 325i CPO. Automatic, Leather, 30-38k miles. What is a fair price for this vehicle in this market? I have offers ranging from $25000-$30,000.   Edmunds shows the CPO price around $27,000. Seems high.   What is a fair offer?
#9365 of 10297 Is this good offer? by TSE20002008 Nov 24, 2008 (7:57 pm)
I am looking for a 2008 328i, a local dealer offered MSRP: $36,500 for MSRP 40,000. They offered a trade in value of my 2005 Mini Cooper, automatic, 20,000 miles for $14,000. Is it a good offer? Or should I push more considering current market? They still have more than 10 2008 328s on their lot.

Replying to: TSE20002008 (Nov 24, 2008 7:57 pm) The only way to be sure is to shop the deal. You have their numbers now get busy on line and contact other dealers. Those 08's might still be on the lot in June. These are bad times and their going to get worse. The housing market is still tanking.

#9367 of 10297 2008 new vs. 2008 cpo by jamaraz Nov 25, 2008 (8:23 pm)
Replying to: jayrider (Nov 25, 2008 12:56 pm) Hi. I have a current deal to buy a 2008 328i with 12,000 miles. It was a loaner car and I am getting new car financing. My question is my warranty is only good until 50k miles. Am I better off getting a cpo that has a warranty up to 100k miles or take the new car financing?
