#3353 of 3362 sales tax by gardis Jun 29, 2009 (5:17 pm)
Hi Speedy, what is the sales tax up to now in CA? We have 6% here in CT.   That tax added over $2000 to my car. Replies to this message: speedy19 (Jun 29, 2009 8:16 pm)

#3355 of 3362 What about this deal 2007 CPO bmw 525i nav sport premium by speedy19 Jun 29, 2009 (8:27 pm)
Hi guys, Can you tell me how much I should offer on this deal?   2007 CPO 525i silver grey/black interior Dealer ASK: $32995 Miles: 31,000 Sport, Premium, Nav pacakges   50k bumper to bumper warranty ends: 5/ 2010 CPO warranty only covers drivetrain (engine,transmission).   I am slightly hesitant on the deal because the b2b warranty is leaving me with 11months or 20k miles left to make sure the nav, audio, a/c etc are all OK (these items not covered by CPO extneded).   I really like a car (or 2) with 18 months/25k b2b warranty left. Just cant find one with the nav option! How much should I offer?   HELP! Replies to this message: speedy19 (Jun 30, 2009 5:32 pm)

Replying to: gardis (Jun 24, 2009 2:36 pm) They tried to sell me a BMW credit card!!   You might have passed up on a pretty good deal. I was pre-approved for the BMW CC when I signed the papers on my CPO 525 a few weeks ago. 4.99% for 6 months then 6.24% variable afterwards. That is better than my Arkansas based CCs, which historically have the best rates nationwide. FWIW, YMMV....
#3357 of 3362 Sales Tax by kevin530 Jun 30, 2009 (5:16 pm)
I would leave the state before i paid 9.25% sales tax.... and the state is still bankrupt. California is the next fed bailout. But in a way I have to admire the ability/desire of Calif. residents to buy BMWs in a state where they get raped for taxes and their property values have declined 40-50%. I fear for what was once my country. Someone please slap us when sales tax goes to 9+

Replying to: speedy19 (Jun 29, 2009 8:27 pm) so nobody has any comments about my deal??
#3359 of 3362 sales tax also by gardis Jun 30, 2009 (5:45 pm)
Wow, Speedy, 9.25%!! Now I understand why you want to do the deal now. I would go with the NAV, I love my Nav, although I never expected to buy a car with nav. Also, the Alpine White with the blk interior is a great combo. See I'm willing to pay more for the pkgs, you seem unwilling to pay more, you just want a stripped down car? Premium pkg gives you real leather, whereas they just give you "leatherette".   I would not buy a car and pay 9.25% tax, that's just me personally. That means I would have paid over $3,348 in taxes on the car I just bought, well over $1,100 more than I paid in taxes, here in CT.   Speedy, you should really have done a deal before end of June, they are desperate to make their sales quotas for the month, why didn't you close on the deal today? What are you waiting for? Replies to this message: speedy19 (Jul 03, 2009 1:18 am) gardis (Jul 03, 2009 4:14 am)
#3360 of 3362 535i 6 CD changer by greenkid Jul 01, 2009 (1:37 pm)
Hello all,   I recently bought a 535i '09 with premium pkg, logic 7sound . I was told by the dealer that 6 CD changer is a dealer installed option and would cost 1000$ extra. But on reading the 5series manual, it says that the Hi Fi sound comes with a 6 CD changer.   Any comments/suggestions?   Thanks.
#3361 of 3362 MY PURCHASE 2007 530i by speedy19 Jul 03, 2009 (1:18 am)
Replying to: gardis (Jun 30, 2009 5:45 pm) I finally did it. this is BMW #2.   2007 BMW 530i Black Sapphire / Black Leather Premium/Xenon/Nav List $34995 18k miles 50k bumper to bumper ends 12/2010! CPO Car. Ends 12/2012   I paid $32,500. I also paid $1800 for the extended maintainence plan until 12/2012. (THE EXTENDED MAINTAINENCE PLAN WENT UP ON 5 series JULY 1 2009 by $300-$500 (cost / retail?) - CONFIRMED   the dealer screwed up and at the end said, "i scrweed up, the maintainence is $300 more." I told him to eat it up. and he did.   I was very happy with the deal because I had previously haggled with another dealer for over 3 hours to get a similar deal (and on a 525i, not this nicer 530i), and with this dealer I got the deal in under 5 min.   Not the color combo i wanted but I was in a crunch and needed it badly. 530i has a little more kick anyway!   car+TTL + Maint=$37k approx   I did the 3.9% for 60 months.

Replying to: speedy19 (Jul 03, 2009 1:18 am) Speedy, Congratulations! That sounds like a nice, clean vehicle. Low miles! Mine had 24K miles on it which I thought was pretty low, but 18K is great. That sounds like a very nice car, and you should be very happy with it.   Congratulations!!
