With no negotiation (other than demonstrating that I knew about free Premium Pkg and invoice costs for everything else), this was their offer: 2008 528i, no options except Premium Pkg: Base MSRP 44,600 Premium Pkg 2,400 Destination 825 Total MSRP 47825 Base Invoice 41,030 Premium Pkg 2,185 Destination 825 Total Invoice 44,040 Offer to sell at 43,435, or $605 below invoice. Seemed like a decent price that could be improved, but there's one problem: There is no way my wife will drive this car (though it would be mine, primarily). I can't believe how unintuitive all the switchgear is vs. my 2001 530i which I'd be trading. (I was even ready to cope with the 2008 version of I-Drive, since most controls are back on the dash.) I must be getting old... oh, well. |

Replying to: jayrider (Nov 09, 2008 7:11 am) It's scary because this is the first time in my life that I actually felt "old & crotchety" about something (as far as I know, of course). I'm going to try the similarly-sized (but of course not comparable) Acrua, Lexus, and Infiniti models as well. It kills me to not get another 5-series because I LOVE my '01 530i (with sport/premium and a 5-speed). We got it via Euro delivery and of course it was beyond fun tearing up the autobahns in that thing. Oh well, phases of life, I guess...

Replying to: phil_in_socal (Nov 09, 2008 1:34 pm) The other thing that might be a factor is that looking at your username you might be located in So Cal where there are numerous dealers and more inventory to choose from while here in the Seattle area we only have three dealers and fewer cars. Anyway, if you can back up your claim I would be most grateful!

Replying to: pkh540 (Nov 09, 2008 2:42 pm) i am also hoping somebody knows the nov lease rates for the 08 528i for 36 months... |

What are the main differences with these two cars? I cannot find too much info. I am going to wait until early 2009 to buy but I think a lot of 2008's may be left in the lots.
