Price paid - good deal? by Dante1918
Nov 27, 2008 (2:26 pm)

I just bought a 328i with x drive from a dealer in New Jersey. I think I got a good deal, but I'm unsure because three different dealers gave me offers within $100 of what I paid. I'd appreciate your thoughts:
 
Features/Options included:
2009 328i with x-drive (all wheel drive)
automatic (steptronic) transmission
premium package
metallic paint - blue water metallic with black leather interior and walnut trim
heated seats (but not the whole cold weather package).
 
Price paid (not including taxes, tags, and fees) - $38,800.00
 
Because the blue water metallic paint with black interior is not a common color combination, they had to build the car and have it shipped. I'm not sure how this affected their pricing, but I'd appreciate any thoughts you might have.

Dante1918, $38,800 is a little more than $1000 above invoice. IMHO, it's not a bad deal.
 
Would you mind letting me know the dealer where you got that price from? BTW, I am in North Jeersey. TIA.

A dealer near my house is advertising the 2007 328i for 25000 and 328xi for 26000. The mileage is less than 11000. Is this a good price? Its a CPO and comes with 6year 100k warranty
 
thanks

How much over Invoice? 2009 335i Coupe by polyester1970
Nov 29, 2008 (4:57 pm)

I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area and am looking to special order a 2009 335 Coupe (for purchase, not lease). I want a manual trans where inventory is very limited so that's why I probably need to special order.
 
My question is, how much should I pay over/under invoice given the market conditions. One dealer offered $1000 over invoice.
 
I might consider doing European Delivery if the savings are significant. If I did that I wouldn't have any time for a vacation so it'd be just to pick up the car and maybe spend 2 days max.

I was going to reply:
 
White regular paint
Red interior
Aluminum trim
Automatic
 
Is this a joke?
 
But I decided not to reply.
 
Oops. I hit the ENTER button.
 
You shouldn't be driving a high-powered BMW. You should be in a Cadillac with leopard-skin mud flaps. If you're going to buy anyway, I wish I was your salesperson. I bet he's dreaming about your check.
 
'nuff said.

Peper, the 2008 328i costed that much new! Therefore, they should have a selling price to be a couple of thousand$ less! I do not know exactly what the price was, but I have leased 2008 328i with metallic paint and BMW Assist, MSRP of $34,400, which cap value, i.e., selling price, came to be $32,400. Note that this was in May 2005, while the prices were still w/o much discounts in Miami, which happened to be a hot BMW market. Therefore, I believe that you should easily be able to get it for about $2,000 less. However, if I would be you, I would rather opt for a 2009, because both the front and tail are much more different than 2008, and therefore it will be very visible that you are driving an old Bimmer...

window tint by dbman

Picking up a new 335 this weekend, Any thoughts on window tint. I live in AZ, so the heat blocking effect seems beneficial. They are offering me 2 options. One is a ceramic tint $369.00. They also talk about a new “platinum-nano-cool” that keeps even more heat out and is darker $769.00. I don't know anythng about this new tint. Any information or thoughts? Thanks!

Was this a good deal? by demedja

I just bought an 09 328i, my first bimmer---and what a beauty!!! I had always driven the Japanese stuff, but after I test drove this car I immediately knew I just HAD to have it. I love the car but didn't care much for the arrogant and snooty sales people (went to all the dealerships in my local area and they were all the same). I'm in south Florida BTW.
 
Anyway, I got:
premium package
automatic
xenon
metallic paint
heated seats
ipod adapter
 
Edmunds TMV priced the car at 43,320 (but thats because they are adding on the cost of the leather, even though it is already included in the premium package)
 
The BMW website has the MSRP with at 41,665.
 
I'm not much of a negotiator when it comes to these things but I did some research here on Edmunds and a couple other sites before I went to buy the car, and every source I looked into came up to approximately the same price as Edmunds. Had to really haggle with the dealer to get him to come down to $39,650---which he very begrudgingly agreed to. None of the other dealers I talked to offered a significantly different price, but I'm wondering if I could have done better. I did get the 0.9% financing deal but I still feel as though I overpaid.
 
Thanks for your comments.
