#3445 of 3487 NEW '10 535Xi - good deal...or?! by 335xict Nov 08, 2009 (8:20 pm)
I appreciate any perspective on this...   My local dealer has black/black 535Xi sedan pretty loaded up (m-pkg, etc)(however, it does NOT have Sirius or Comfort Access) which I really wanted. I'm pretty sure I can have the sirius installed via dealer - but Comfort Access needs to be installed by factory (I can prob live w/out this, if the deal is right).   Was told that w/ the upcoming redesign of 5 series - current in-stock inventory vehicles would be HEAVILY discounted. So I requested a quote on a specific vehicle and here is response from dealer:   >>Thank you for your inquiry in the 535ix we have instock. You are correct, with the upcoming redesign and the BMW Holiday bonus you can get a very aggressive price now on this car! The list is $60,350 and after all discounts and promotions we can offer it for $54,334<< I'm not sure if this is a 'deep' discount w/ all things considered. I guess I was expecting at least a ~$5k discount from dealer alone due to redesign, PLUS $2500 BMW cash - but dont know if im being unrealistic? So..I figured I'd post the situation for all of you to weigh in on before I respond to the dealer. Appreciate any perspective you might have - thanks in advance for your help!! -Jason Replies to this message: phylp (Nov 09, 2009 8:58 am) resrchonline (Nov 21, 2009 7:51 am)
#3446 of 3487 2002 540i by fineby40 Nov 08, 2009 (9:22 pm)
I am thinking about buying a 2002 540i for $12000.00 It has 43000 miles. There is problem with the a/c compressor. Can anyone give me some feedback? Good, bad, or ok deal?
#3448 of 3487 good deal by borno Nov 09, 2009 (8:11 am)
fyi-dealers are selling at invoice, they should be willing to show you actual invoice docs. The holiday cash should be in addition. So, you are not getting a great deal! Also, 2011 redesign will be out early next year, and since the economy is still down, you should be able to get a good deal if you can wait, although you may not see all wheel drive til the fall.

Replying to: 335xict (Nov 08, 2009 8:20 pm) With the slump in auto sales, we are in a true "buyers" car market. Holding out for what you really want should pay off. Hang in there for a really great deal. You will know the great deal when you see it.   On another note, depreciation is a bear right now. Buying a 2008 or 2009 that has already taken the first big hits makes sense. The allure of the "new" 2010 is surely strong, but a 2008 or 2009 with under 25,000 miles will be a huge bargain -- and you are likely to get all the extra features you desire.   Just my two cents . . . hope it is helpful.

Hello,   I am looking to get a new 2010 BMW 528 i xDrive (Monaco Blue MET) with the following:-    * 4-Way Front Seat Power Lumbar Support     * Ambiance Lighting     * Auto-Dimming Exterior Mirrors     * Auto-Dimming Rearview Mirror     * Dakota Leather Upholstery     * High Definition Radio     * Integrated 3-Button Universal Garage-Door Opener     * Navigation System     * Online Information Services     * Premium Package     * Real Time Traffic Information     * Split-Fold Down Lockable Rear Seats     * Through-Loading System     * Voice Command System   The dealer website (in Massachusetts) lists the price at $52, 250. I am thinking of putting in an offer of $44,000. Since the new model is round the corner, is this a reasonable asking price? Can I go lower?   Any insight appreciated.   Thanks.

Replying to: gmurthy (Nov 10, 2009 11:07 am) Sounds like a really nice car. IMHO: I would say that starting out at $44k is worth a shot, but I suspect you will have to go higher to make a deal. In my experience, BMW dealers "protect resale values" by not going low on the sales price of new cars. Or, should I just say -- they are going to make a profit (and a good one). I have noticed recently excellent pricing on 2008 and 2009 certified, however, but not on new. Good luck! Replies to this message: gmurthy (Nov 10, 2009 1:09 pm) rdargenio (Nov 16, 2009 9:04 am)

Replying to: gmurthy (Nov 10, 2009 11:07 am) Hi gmurthy, We are looking at a similar car in NJ. Please let me know how your negotiations go. We are thinking of making a similar offer. Good luck. We also wanted to include the extended 2yr maintenance program, but at a much lower price than their quote, which was$2,000. We found out that the average cost of maintenance for the this car is $250/year for the first 4 years. So, we are going to base our offer on these numbers. Best regards!
