Thougts and Advice by dittykb

First, I'm thinking about buying the following vehicle that has a clean Carfax history, one owner, end of lease.
 
2006 330i 4 door auto
Black/Black
Sport Package
35000 miles
$28000
 
1. Does this sound like a good deal?
2. Should I extend the maintenance warranty to 6/100,000 for $1600?
3. I only want to keep the car for 2-3 years or 80,000 miles which ever happens first, is there anything major that I should expect during that time?
 
Thanks a bunch!

It doesn't sound too bad, but I don't follow the market that closely. Why not ask over in the "Real-World Trade-In Values" topic.
 
2. Should I extend the maintenance warranty to 6/100,000 for $1600?
 
Not if you are only going to keep it to 80K.
 
3. I only want to keep the car for 2-3 years or 80,000 miles which ever happens first, is there anything major that I should expect during that time?
 
Not really; at 60K the car will need the major service which BMW calls an Inspection II. It costs from $500-$700 depending on where you live and who performs the work. You might need brakes as well- $250-$500 an axle subject to the previously mentioned variables. I'd also figure in a couple of oil changes -which is a dead easy DIY procedure- and that's about it. I'd be extremely surprised if the maintenance/repair costs exceeded $50/month from 35K-80K.
