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!

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.

Hi Folks, I'm looking at a 2008 CPO program 535i, with 27K miles on it. Dealer is asking $39,995 marked down (so they say) from $42,995. The car looks magnificent. I'm curious to know if anyone thinks I can get them down any further. Economy is in the tank, how many people are out there looking at luxury vehicles. I'm also concerned about the iDrive. I have a 1996 328i which runs great but I'm looking for something new. Also, any advice on fuel economy, which is important to me. I hear the 5 series is pretty good on fuel, I'm getting about 19mpg on my 328i and about 30mpg on the highway trips. I don't want a fuel hog. What does the turbo mean? Thanks, really appreciate any advice. Gardis gardis72  gmail.com

Replying to: gardis (Nov 11, 2008 6:27 pm) 22MPG city.....24+ MPG on highway the turbo is great....car rides like a monster......I have owned BMW's for 24 years and this is by far the best vehicle I have ever driven....I have a manual 6 speed with the new improved I drive which I love......it was worth the extra $$$ for the turbo... Have you considered a 2009? |

Thanks guys. I like the CPO program. Look even at the 39K price, that's about $12,000 less than a new one, let's face it. I wouldn't consider new, too much money for a vehicle. I have 3 dealers in my area, there is competition, so I'm going to print out some other vehicles and take them with me. They don't have to know I have my heart set on this particular car. I just don't want to be buying a car that's too technical for me, that's what I'm worried. The Lexus RX 350 is a good car also, far less technical. I'm in a quandary about it.

...of a new BMW today. $1000 over invoice, exactly at invoice, or a $1000 under invoice? I am planning to purchase a 2009 550i by the end of the year. Primarily due to the 0.9% financing. But have no idea what I should expect when it comes time to negotiate. The car I want has an msrp of $74,450. I live in MD and is looking for any tip and guidance anyone may offer. Please be as specific as possible. |
