| Hi, My 2007 525i is coming off of lease shortly, and I'm wondering how much I can realistically expect to negotiate the dealer down from the residual value (approx. $30k). Does anyone have any experience/advise on this? Thanks. | |
| My 07 525xi lease is up end November 09 with 34k residual value. Appraisal from Edmunds dealer trade in = 24k, retail=30k. I understand the redesigned 2010 5 series style will hit the showrooms in early 2010 which will further reduce the resale value. On paper it sounds I am better off walking away. Does anybody know if BMW will negotiate on the sale price and would they accept same as dealer trade in? | |

Hello Guys, First of all THANKS to all of you for sharing your experiences here! I used this forum a lot before buying my first bimmer..... So here it goes, I just bought a 2007 525i Automatic w/ Steptronic, Xenon lights, Cold Weather and Premium Packages for $29,500. It was listed at $33,000 and has 41K miles. Its a CPO but has 1.5 years of original warranty on it. I live in Cincinnati, OH and bought it at The BMW Store. Its a shiny new car very clean... What do you guys think about the deal???? The other thing is that I am taking it there tomorrow to get the Windows Tinted. He told me about $250 incl Taxes for it. Is that a fair price and what do you think about the tinting? The finance guy tried to talk me into buying the extended maintenance plan which he was quoting for $2200 - $2300. I declined it and at the end of the paperwork just before leaving, I asked him how was it again. He said he could sell it to me for $1895 as the price just went up by $200 on July 1st. I want to know if anyone recently bought it and at what price?? Thanks Again & Cheers!

Sandee... seems a little on the high side for a 525 without all wheel drive and mileage on the high side for a 2007 but we all seem to end up paying a little too much, IMO. I think it is easier said than done to find a clean CPO with the color combo we like or can live with, so don't fret, just enjoy the car. Driving a BMW is a beautiful experience. Regarding the extended maintenance, there was a recent price increase to about $2,200 but I have heard of deals in the high teens - I would try to work it down some if you think it's something you want. I am still debating as I don't know if I will end up keeping my 2006. Good luck and have fun. |

Replying to: sandeepg (Jul 29, 2009 11:32 am) I'm personally not crazy about tinting, I think if you have the right interior color, it could be OK, but I've seen it on Black Sapphire/Black leather and thought it looked way too dark. Actually I looked at a vehicle last year with tinting, and the first question I asked is how much to remove it ($125). So it's up to you. You don't live in a southern climate like Florida or AZ, so use your own judgement. Take a look at a vehicle with tinting before you take the plunge. I'm trying to decide on pin striping my car. It's Alpine White with Black, I've looked at the samples, but can't decide. I've not seen a lot of pinstriping on Alpine. The car is a cream puff as is, but I want to personalize it. Anyone have any ideas about that? Good luck Sandee, enjoy the vehicle. BMW's are so exciting aren't they? My car causes all kinds of looks and commentary. |

Replying to: ghiggins (Aug 01, 2009 5:35 am) good deal? |
|
| As much as i love BMW, i don't think I will buy one, 5-series, as my next car. I have read many comments from bimmer owners and a number of them expressed issues right off the bat if not later in their ownership. And these are new BMWs i am talking about. How can BMW not fix there problems. And as for the dealers who ignores the problems as normal. it bothers me to read these kind of car troubles people have. Am i the only one who wants a BMW but who is turn away? I would like to hear others opinion. Instead, i am going with the lexus RX450h. | |
