$12,000 of the M3 convertible only if your purchase it?
 
A 335i, bought from an auction, with no paper work. My instinct says keep looking. How do you know the car doesn't really have 40k, 50k, 60k miles on it & they turned it back? I'm not familiar with cars bought at auctions, but I guess you may want to verify he holds the true title to the car also.

Lease 2009 328i by steelersfan97
Apr 06, 2009 (1:33 pm)

Getting ready to turn in current car and lease an '09 328i. Dealing with United BMW in Atlanta area.
 
Options are:
 
Steptronic Automatic Transmission
17" V-spoke wheels
Heated front seats
Nav system
HD radio
Satellie radio
Premium hi-fi Logic 7 stereo system
Ipod and USB adapter
Premium package
 
Edmunds calculates invoice price to be $40,880 and I offered $41,280 and I intend to negotiate up from the invoice price and am comfortable with that.
 
I could use help with the financing numbers in regards to the MF and residual
amounts.
 
They are offering $43,300
MF = .00145
Residual is 64% on 24 month lease and 57% on 36 month lease
$1000 down
Lease payments are $795 on 24 month and $649 on 36 month
15k miles per year
 
Is this a good deal even if I take their price, which I do not intend to do. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Great experience at BMW of Newport by bfreeman333

I went with my friend who I was visiting in Middletown, RI to buy a new 2009 BMW 3 Series 328i and was pleasantly surprised with the people at BMW of Newport . They were very helpful and informative and we got a special internet price of $38,169.00 since we checked their website before we went down to the dealership!

I got curious about the pricing on the same 2009 BMW 3 Series 328i sedan near my area in Torrance, CA and found that South Bay BMW has a really nice internet price of $35,750.00!! Looks like you might be getting a little ripped off over there in Atlanta!

South Bay BMW sells about 450 cars per month... Plus, they probably have a dozen other BMW dealerships within 40 miles of them.
 
Trying to compare prices on the other side of the country might be a stretch....

That's a good point...I wasn't really considering the relative sizes of the dealerships as far as their ability to offer better discounts on certain vehicles..

It probably just depends on how long you plan to have the vehicle, and what the resale price of the car will be at the time you get tired of it and want a new one haha. So if you only want it for a couple of years, try some sort of lease to own option where you can opt to buy the vehicle after the leasing period is up, or just move on to something else that's hot and new. Many of dealers are working out finance plans because they're desperate to be moving cars off the lots at all. Apparently, like that one guy said, there are some dealerships that are doing pretty well and you might try them to find the best deals... like South Bay BMW if you live near Los Angeles.

New to Leasing.... need help! by mcb345

I've been looking in to Swapalease.com for a 1 year old 328i and have noticed I can get something decent for under $400 a month. If I were to walk in to the dealership and find a brand new or demo/test driven low mileage 2008 328 with 10-12k/year is there any possibility of hitting this price of $400 with no down payment like Swapalease? Any advice would be great as I'm new to this. Thanks.

S5 of 335 convertible by twmark
Apr 08, 2009 (3:26 pm)

Please no flame.
 
I am considering purchasing either and S5 or 335 convertible. Both are around 60K loaded. Both are very nice rides. The S5 is bigger, faster and perhaps safer (no safety data available). The 335 is a beautiful car and has 4 years routine maintenance and better gas mileage (yes, this still means something to me). I can probably get a better deal on the 335 as the S5 is a bit scarcer.
 
Which of the two would you go for and why?
 
Thanks
