| Thanks, good advice. Actually they had a 550i on the lot also, but too high powered for me. My problem is that since the car has just been received by the dealer, maybe they're not too anxious to make a deal with me. They might figure, let it sit there and see what happens? OTOH, I'm taking the car off their hands, decreases amount of carrying costs. I'm going to shoot for $33K see what happens. After all, the car has low mileage and the AWD makes it higher in price, that's just reality. I gotta tell you, that Auburn interior with the black is spectacular. I was hesitant about it, but when I saw the vehicle, very impressive combination. Don't see it too often. | |

Would be grateful for your input. I'm looking at a couple of 2007 525i CPO, both are basic. only option is steptronic auto trans. One dealer has 2007, 525i, 14k mi. list price was $34,500k, then he dropped to $30,900 pretty quick. black/black Another dealer, 2007, 525i, 22k mi, list price $31,995k, haven't furthered my discussion yet. gray/black. I still feel that these prices are high given the car is pretty much a base model. Your thoughts on an offer? I'm not trading-in or using their financing. This will be a straight forward deal. Also, what is the philosophy around the dealer fees?$495-$595.00 Has anyone had success if getting those waived. Thanks

I keep reading various posts about dealers telling buyers that the 5 series are "flying off the lots" and there's "very little inventory." YET -- I saw two 530xi, 2007 CPO vehicles, both with Sports, one a dealer here in CT, and another a dealer in LI (about 40 miles)...........all I did was EMAIL the internet service manager that I saw the cars in the website, and so far, I've gotten THREE calls from the Long Island dealer ("just following up with your request, if there are any questions, please call me, etc etc"), and Three calls from the CT dealer (I looked at that car and it's nice). If they have so many buyers, why are they bothering with me? My game is to not show I"m so anxious. Of course, having said that, I've lost two beautiful vehicles because I played chicken with the dealer too long. Go figure.

What do you think about this price: 2006 CPO 525i mid 30k miles, and the asking price is $25,900. What should I offer? The car is pretty basic, premium package. Also how reliable are these cars and is the 525 underpowered? Thanks. |

Replying to: gardis (Mar 25, 2009 5:11 pm) I definitely don't think they are "flying off the lots". Just like you, I'm trying to be patient and to find the car with the right combination of options at the right price. |

Got a 528xi yesterday. Offered invoice + $500 over email. Dealer accepted immediately without hassle but have to take delivery before March end. (I now think I should just offered invoice price!) I certainly think I didn't get a bad deal! 2009 528xi black w/ black prem. cold. xenon light, nav, Ipod/usb BTW, there were a lot of people at the dealer
