Hey Gardis, I am thinking that you have found your vehicle. I know what you're looking for and this, for sure, sounds like it. I agree with NYC that the deal most likely isn't what it seems but there has got to be room to move here. I would play hard ball (OK, maybe soft ball) with pricing. You know my belief that cream puff CPOs tend to sell quickly for top dollar; both of us have had cars ripped from under us in the past few months. That said, I do think that you should see and drive the car before any final deals, especially since you keep your cars for a while. But it looks like you have a good nibble. Let us know how it works out. |

Guys, Listen to this. The salesman wanted to deliver the car to me in CT, and take mine away. He was going to give me a price on the spot for the trade in. Just like that. I said no dice. And no negotiating on the 530i. Anyway..I have been working with a nice gal at one of my local BMW dealers for awhile on finding me a car. She had an identical Alpine Wht 2007 530i last December that I passed, because I was too new to it, price was starting $34,679, and then came down to $30350 three months later. Had 31K miles on it. I mentioned to her about this car in the far dealership that I was interested in, and she told me "I can get the car for you." meaning, bring the car to her local dealership and sell it to me!! She seems very willing to negotiate, and always says "it's negotiable." Unlike the former dealer. Have you ever heard of a dealer bringing in a car from another dealer because one of their customers wants it?? I guess it's like the real estate agents, who co-share the listings? I never heard of that. Anyway, I'm going to let her get the car after I tell her what I want to pay, which is: $34,000 OUT THE DOOR (OTD), including the trade in. what do you think of that price? Or should I wait for her to tell me what she's willing to do? |

Looking to buy a 528 premium package with Nav. and i had a few questions. Are the 2010 models out and is the value package an added benefit? What is a good price. I was thinking $45,000. Priced out to 48,000 on the BMW website I want to lease. What do I need to be looking for? Mf, etc. Finally, do you think this car is superior to the E class, A-6 etc. Thanks. |

Pipiolo, I think you should rethink the 528 model altogether. I think it is very underpowered at 215HP for the size of the 5 Series. I have 255HP in my 530 and it is adequate but not excessive by any means. Highway acceleration and passing and start up in general are inadequate IMHO with the 528 and long term you might be annoyed by this. Gas mileage is not that different with more HP to make a difference.

Looking to buy 535i soon. Switching from LEXUS, I know sport package would be overdone for me. What are the packages/options must have? Color? 2009 vs 2010? Quoted from BMWUSA Base MSRP $51,100 Titanium Silver Metallic $0 Black Dakota Leather $0 Dark Poplar Wood $0 Value Package $0 STEPTRONIC automatic transmission $0 Premium hi-fi system $1,200 Park Distance Control $750 Rear side-impact airbags $385 Destination & Handling: $825 Total MSRP as Built $54,260 Thanks! |

George, I am thinking that as long as you're buying new, you should probably get navigation if you travel (and also good for resale I think). Much sexier to have the map on the in-dash screen rather than a Garmin hanging from the windshield. It is a 535 after all. Good luck. Bargain hard. Deals are plentiful. You will love it. |

Replying to: kevin530 (May 28, 2009 2:58 pm)  I know I'll get flammed for this, but a non-sport package BMW is a nice balance and still is a drivers car. Good Luck!
