#3125 of 3491 Re: 2008 CPO 535i in CT [gardis] by drgums Nov 11, 2008 (6:39 pm)
Replying to: gardis (Nov 11, 2008 6:27 pm) 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?

Replying to: gardis (Nov 11, 2008 6:27 pm) 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.
#3127 of 3491 Thanks for the advice by gardis Nov 12, 2008 (2:59 am)
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.

#3128 of 3491 So Exactly what can we expect in pruchase price... by thai357 Nov 13, 2008 (2:42 pm)
...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? Replies to this message: jvost (Nov 22, 2008 4:43 am) drgums (Nov 29, 2008 6:59 pm)
#3130 of 3491 Purchase Price for a 2008 528i in South Florida by curiousfl Nov 15, 2008 (6:03 am)
I would like to purchase a 2008 528i, with a premium package, and no other options. Can anyone give me idea of what a fair purchase price would be for this car? Replies to this message: phil_in_socal (Nov 18, 2008 3:18 pm) curiousfl (Nov 22, 2008 7:48 am)
#3131 of 3491 Dealer Fees by babdalla Nov 15, 2008 (10:58 am)
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. B- Replies to this message: phil_in_socal (Nov 18, 2008 3:24 pm)
#3132 of 3491 Got a quote from Wasington DC area today... by thai357 Nov 15, 2008 (1:06 pm)
...8% below MSRP. Which is around 500-1000 over invoice. Can I do better on a 550i 2009?
#3133 of 3491 by gardis Nov 15, 2008 (1:42 pm)
Wow I never heard of dealer fees, that's a LOT of money, does anyone know about that? If I buy a pre owned 2008 535i, do I have to pay that in CT?

Replying to: curiousfl (Nov 15, 2008 6:03 am) for best deal, work with the fleet managers directly. email fleet managers to all dealers in your surrounding area, some dealers have internet sites and have inventories available. those with large inventories of 08's will be more willing to deal. fleet managers aren't paid in the same ways as regular sales associates, they make more by moving volumes of car. and can give you a direct quote and not have to talk to a freekin sales manager who'll bs you around ( -:   work on getting atleat 15% below msrp. if a dealer has an internet site, they'll most likely a "get a quote" feature. use this, for the most part your request quote request will go directly to the fleet manager, get the car info from their online inventory and ask for a quote specific for that car or give general info of what you're looking for like, "08 528i with ... package/option, color of ..." . if not available, call the dealer and ask for fleet manager, make sure you are getting the fleet manager and not a regular sales man.   give it a try, if you're a serious buyer you got nothing but to gain from this. i do this with all my car shopping and it works, i saved a bundle for the vehicle that i like. my friends and family are amaze with deals i got. u got have to take your time, shop around. what's great about online quotes is you dont' get pressured compare to when you're "in their shop." we all know how that is. remember, get quotes directly from the dealers' sites, not some third party auto shopping sites - those are brokers.
