Replying to: speedy19 (Jun 23, 2009 1:41 pm) I just bought a CPO 2007 530i from the dealer in Greenwich, CT, paid $36,200 for the vehicle, with 24K miles on it. The car is flawless, has Premium, Cold, Prem. Sound , Sports and Nav. I ordered the extended warranty which extends the service warrany by two years. Cost: $1675. So figure that's 850 per year cost. I thought it was well worth it, just in case. Good luck, and let me know how you make out. |

Replying to: gardis (Jun 23, 2009 5:13 pm) is there a reason you went wit hthe 530 vs 525? 525 too underpowered? was the price you gave me out the door? How much were the mysteruious "dealer fees" and any other fees? Please if you can just look through your sale doc for me. I really dont want to get screwed by these guys. ill def let you know how i make out. |

Replying to: speedy19 (Jun 24, 2009 10:03 am) I went with the 530i because it has the slightly larger engine, yet is not a gas guzzler by any stretch (like the 535i with twin turbos). Also, I love the sporty look of the 530 with Sports pkg, which is what I have. I don't like the chrome around the windows, I have the "shadow line" trim which is solid black around the windows. My out the door was just over $38K with everything. That included 6% sales tax on the vehicle, plus $275 dealer fees, $120 registration, and also remember that included the $1,675 extended maintenance, less the $2000 trade in value. Dealer fees I was surprised only $275, I have seen them up to $499 at some dealerships, I guess that is dependent on the dealership. Considering I bought mine in Greenwich, CT, I was surprised. You won't face extraordinary costs. Be careful with the financing contract: they are trained to upsell you on the contract by adding in "insurance, security, " crap that you don't need, which just increases the monthly payment amount. I turned it all DOWN FLAT. The guy looked disappointed, because they get a commissh. You don't need any of it. I got 3.9% financing, which I thought was very good, but I only financed about one third of the car. You can pay it off anytime, no penalty. Also, I got a call today from BMW finance, just to confirm details. They tried to sell me a BMW credit card!! I said NO, thanks, and he was very polite, and finished the conversation. YOu have to know how to handle these people, they are trained to do their jobs, no sense in getting angry with them, they are just trying to make a living separating us from our money. LOL. I love the car. Glad I did it while I had the dough. Who knows with this government if they're going to tax the air we breath any day now, we'll have nothing left!! Take care, let me know how you make out. Gardis - CT

Replying to: gardis (Jun 24, 2009 1:36 pm) I went to the dealer yesterday and I think he was bullshi**ing me he said that the 2007 CPO has a 3.9% and the 2008 CPO Does not have ANY incentive from BMW FS. He said it would be at market rate 7% or higher. So because of that I leaned toward the 2007's only. here is what I found on the lot. I drove this car, and I have never had a BMW Automatic before (only a stick), but it seemed to like to shift alot! What the heck, throttle was very sensitive, shifting betwen 2nd and 3rd back and forth depending on if i needed more gas or brake. out of 1st gear was NOT a smooth shift, if I put a decent amount of gas into the car. is this normal?? I wonder if this car had the ODO rolled back. My buddy used to lease mercedes and roll the ODO back on leases. This was a lease return: $30991. 525i. 2007. 31k miles. Dark Grey, grey interior. Premium. Xenon. Bumper to bumber Ends. 12 27 2010 (add 2 years because this car was CPO). I dont hink the car is worth mor ethen 28k, what do you guys say?? Car #2: $27991 2007 green tag- meaning THEY CANNOT SUPPOSEDLY TOUCH THE CAR PRICE AT ALL AND WONT NEGOTIATIOTE (whatever!). 525i. Black. Tan. Nav. 42k miles. warranty prob ending in 8k (which will come first!) What do you think it is worth? car#3: $32991 525i 2007. bumper to bumper Ends 9 13 2010. (2 years warranty w/ cpo = ends 9/12) 525i. 27656 miles Nav. Xenon. Premium. Silver outside. Blk inside. What do you think it is worth? |

Replying to: gardis (Jun 24, 2009 1:36 pm) I went stragiht to the fleet manager at the dealership. I told him, just nonchalantly, so youre going to sell me the extended maintainence for $1000, right? he laughed. HE CLAIMED THAT THE PRICE OF THE EXTENDED MAINT PLAN GOES UP BY $800 EVERY YEAR. BULL! That really pissed me off, taking me for a fool! I saw on these pages that you guys have bought these ext maint services for $1200 or so. He quoted $2500! I need to go in there with ammunition. please give me some realistic info! |
