2008 CPO 535i in CT by gardis

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.

I have a 2009 535i with x drive
 
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?

I ran KBB value on a 535i with simple options (you could put them in more accurately) and the retail value is $39k. I would imagine you could get it for less. The challenge is no leverage (e.g. no other dealers to compete).
 
Play some hardball. Offer less and be prepared to walk. You have to decide how badly you want it.

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.

I was reading some reviews of the 535i in Yahoo and I was surprised, many said the gas mileage on a 535i turbo was lousy. I'm having second thoughts now about that vehicle. I don't want, repeat do not want a gas hog. Also, I understand there are different driving modes, like "sport" etc., can anyone explain and how do these modes affect gas consumption. Does iDrive control that?

Dealer Fees by babdalla

Hi,
I have a question, I’m looking at a 2007 530xi in CT. The price is good, but the dealer wants to charge me $550 in dealer fees. Sounds very high to me. How much should it be?
Thanks in advance.
